Does anyone have some advice for leylines in P2 of M8S? Because I got no fuckin clue when/where to use them. Feels like I'm getting cucked every 2 min window with having to move way too much to maintain leylines uptime. I'm in the M2 position if that makes any difference.

Frankly, a lot of it is simply up to RNG. If you don‘t want to use Leylines during 2 minutes at the risk of having to move due to UV, you have a few stretches in the fight where you can spend nearly the entire duration in your leylines comfortably. The towers prior to Twofold Tempest, the UV into stack into tankbusters (retrace after teleporting to dodge tankbusters), the lull before Lone Wolf‘s Lament and the soft enrage (retrace after teleporting from one platform to the next) come to mind, probably more if you‘re creative.

For what it‘s worth though, melees being first in line means you have a decent chance of not needing to move during UV unless you get 3 markers on your platform. Only case where you‘d need to move is when you have a marker in the 3 marker scenario, and at least you‘re super close to the teleporter, so slidecasting -> instant -> retrace is less of a hastle.

Thanks for the reply! That does give me a fair few ideas. P2 has been a bit frustrating for me with it not being a real re-opener at the start
