Quick notes

Choose the ability that fits the route. The Fans do not share one neutral moveset.
Treat Tony as a close-combat specialist. Tony’s punches are lethal, but he cannot pick up normal weapons.
Manage Mark’s ammunition. Mark begins with two guns and can spread his fire.
Coordinate the swans. Alex handles the chainsaw while Ash supplies gunfire.

Treat Tony as a close-combat specialist

Situations and decisions
Problem	Better planning question	Reason
Need a distant opening	Which available Fan has ranged access?	Tony cannot solve it by picking up a gun
Several enemies in a line	Can Mark’s guns clear the angle?	Burst direction matters
Tight doorway	Can the swan pair enter cleanly?	Movement and aim interact
Incoming shot lane	Can Corey’s roll be timed safely?	Rolling blindly is still risky

Useful tip

A strategy that depends on picking up a weapon cannot be copied unchanged to Tony.
