- 3Shoot the target your tank or other Duelist is already pressuring.

"Born into a long line of monster hunters, Elsa Bloodstone uses her mystic Bloodgem to boost her strength and longevity as she attempts to live up to her family's proud legacy.
After what seemed like an eternity hunting demons and monsters in her own collapsing timeline, Elsa was recruited by the Collector to capture rare and dangerous creatures from other realities. When her new partner, Deadpool, went rogue, Elsa was sent to restore order... only to discover that Deadpool had unleashed all the monsters in the Collector's Museum. What fun!
