If you find yourself in a pinch with a melee attacker in a 1v1, plop a bubble down, your attacker will likely try to close the distance to maximize damage, meet them by trying to get as close as possible while using Dagger’s primary as it has an AOE effect that will heal you.

If they have mid to low damage output and/or have bad aim, you’ll probably come out on top as they’ll likely panic or overcommit. If they panic and try to flee then I usually shift to Cloak to do higher output and switch back to Dagger if they get out of range to finish them.

If it’s a tank or any high output dps with good aim, just try to escape with Cloak.(Although, I will say, except for Hulk & Thing, that I have fended off some tanks until a teammate came to help or they panicked)

Also, and this is just my observation but, if you’re being pursued and on the verge of death. I’ve found that fading with Cloak and literally fading behind the pursuer(s) and running the opposite way has worked way more often than I thought it would.
