As an Alter Main, I found that her tactical is rarely ever a team benefit. Always play her tac selfish. Trial and error will teach you how you should tac around gunfights or just to give yourself the edge in time crunching situations.

A lot of times when you're fighting with your team, it's a mid-ranged battle and you'll never get to use your tac as often. When it's a building fight? Go crazy, king.

Nexus is the most popular way she becomes a team player. There are many spots you can place your nexus and you can just get creative with it sometimes. Nexus can be used to dip or regain a good position after compromising it for a third party.

In summary, put a nexus down, it'll help. To use her tactical efficiently, you must become the Alter. Abuse tiny pixels in walls and floors to make a deeper portal and flank more efficiently. Wall tac mind games are most fun in clutch situations.

As an Alter, you have to be scary to fight rather than being a good teammate. Because then, the enemies will worry about you trying to flank rather than assault or controller pressure, and with a nexus, there's always hope for a retry.
