Tips for Gambit. (Destiny)

In this order:

Summon Primeval. Kill the wizards. Kill the ads. Kill the invader. Then unleash your supers and burn the Primeval in like 4 seconds when they can’t invade. Repeat next round.

Invading to heal the Primeval does not work. It’ll be burnt to the ground right after you go back. You should do whatever you can to protect those wizards as an invader. It’s the only realistic way to slow the other team down.

Change my mind.

I think I've got a video saved that'll change your mind... I'll check when I get home :)

Here's the thing... If you invade and kill the enemy team, or at least keep them occupied, that's time that they're not spending killing the wizards. If the wizards are already dead, then that's still 30 seconds that the enemy is dealing with you and not their primeval.

That change my mind was real. Because I am very bad at gambit :-(

You’re absolutely right that if the enemy team has their wizards down and they’re attacking the Primeval with heavies and supers, it’s gonna melt in a few seconds. An invasion might only buy you a few extra seconds. In a close game though, that can make a difference.

Last week, I invaded a team who had gotten their Primeval down to its last 1/4 health. I killed 2 of them with Sleeper, then popped my super and killed the other 2 with hammers. While this was happening, my team was damaging our Primeval. By the time I got warped back to my side, our Primeval was down to roughly 1/2 health, and the enemy team’s Primeval was now above that. Plus my super was still active, which I used to kill our Primeval.

That is certainly not an everyday outcome. But in a close game, a last-minute invasion can make all the difference :)
