Where Buster shines
- His protective screen can help a team advance
- Close pressure discourages enemies from walking forward
Know your limits
- Protection depends on the direction of the threat
- Flanking opponents can undermine a frontal push
One habit to practice
Face the main source of incoming pressure and move when teammates are ready to use the protection.
