    Notes:
    • If you have binded the Goggles Buff with the Binder item, you can swap it out for the |E| Dying Berserk Buff.
    • If you want to give all survivors increased movement speed to have better mobility when thrown around by tanks over having resistance to slows, you can swap out the |E| Slow Resistance Buff for the Adrenaline Area Booster Buff. If you instead prefer to stop tank stuns from punches/rocks with a buff enhancement, you can swap out either buff for the Unstoppable Buff.
    • If you prefer to be able to receive full heals with your first aid kit over reduced heals, you can swap out the Tenacity Buff for the |V| War Wounds Buff.
    • If you don't want the tank to get any other survivors or want to stop tornados from dislocating survivors in bad situations over having increased tank aggro for yourself, you can swap out the |E| Tank Duelist Buff for the |V| Enraging Waves Buff.
    • If you don't want to be debilitated while trying to avoid being thrown around by the tanks over giving the survivor you revive increased movement speed, you can swap out the |E| Courage Buff for the |E| Reactive Inoculation Buff. If you instead prefer to level up any class at class level 4 to class level 5, you can swap out either buff for the |Q| Prowess Buff.

    Tips for effectively using this buff set:
    • If you're fighting the tank near a danger zone, you should try to use your aggro buffs to get the tank away from it or to give the survivors any chances to get away from the area itself. It'll help to avoid bad situations where it results in any survivor deaths.
    • Use movement speed buffs if you want to have an easier time avoiding any tanks that can whirl you around to another location.
