When playing as '''Vine Staff''', it is important to have good awareness and ability management. When a Vine Staff pushes too far up, she will quickly get picked off by the opposing team due to her poor mobility and defense on her own. It is best to stay in the midline to backline of the team to allow for her to best support her team. It is ideal to push up when tanks such as [[Ban Hammer]] or [[Katana]] pushes up. Staying with tanks allows for a mutual benefit for both Phighters — the tank can receive healing while you receive defense. Even if you push up more, Vine Staff should not play in the frontline of the battle. Do not come face to face with opposing melee Phighters. Sticking behind the tank a bit will be most beneficial, allowing you to stay safer yet still being able to heal the tank.
Line 165 ⟶ 123:
Her hitpoint split being 100 health, 75 shield allows her to absorb a decent amount of damage. Having shield gives her the ability to self-sustain outside of her abilities or a [[Medkit]]. Vine Staff falls quickly to melee Phighters with a much higher consistent DPS than her. Because of this, it is important you keep track of the battlefield, keeping appropriate distances between you and your opponents yet being in a position to properly heal your teammates. Using Root of the Oak to both stall any Phighters that may be chasing you is effective as it gives you a small window of time to get back to your team, as well as gaining sprouts that can be used for haste. Using Root of the Oak to hit both sprouts and an enemy is highly effective.
===Ability usage===
* {{Abilitylink|VinestaffPassive}}
** Know the ways that you gain sprouts in order to best use this ability to your benefit.
Line 208 ⟶ 164:
===Counterplay against {{PAGENAME}}===
* Destroy her sprouts whenever you can to deny her regeneration. She is very vunerable without them.
* Try to bait out her abilities and attack when she is isolated.
* Beside {{Abilitylink|VinestaffE}}, {{PAGENAME}} has no other way to create space between her and attackers, keep this in mind when engaging and consider committing to an attack only after the ability is on cooldown.
** If hit by Root of the Oak, consider retreating and approaching at a different angle or after waiting a bit, as a prolonged chase makes it incredibly easy for Vine Staff to plant and use sprouts, making her even harder to catch.
* Vine Staff has difficulty out-manuvering attackers if stuck in a wide open area, use moves such as {{Abilitylink|KatanaQ}} or {{Abilitylink|SwordE}} to move her into unfavourable positions.
