The Direct Answer

Seven is most useful when he can keep contributing from a position the enemy cannot immediately collapse on. Start from a protected angle, use abilities to support the team’s current target or space, and avoid walking into the middle of a fight simply to reach more enemies.

When This Works

Use this around objectives, narrow approaches, or any fight where the team needs reliable ranged pressure. It is a practical extension of the general teamfight guide.

When Not to Use

Do not stay so far back that the team cannot use your pressure. Do not commit important abilities to empty space when a more immediate defensive or focused need exists.

Steps

Identify the safest lane of fire before the fight begins.
Keep a teammate or cover between you and the closest engage threat.
Use ability pressure when it supports a target or protects an objective space.
Reposition after the enemy commits rather than standing still in the first angle.
