Playing this team
Game Plan Dominate in every 8v8 situation. Control splits with full team collapses and using the catapult against your own base if necessary. You should be able to DP the opponent out within few minutes, taking away their split options or enabling you to end the game.

8v8 Flag and Repair Kit Split
 * Create spirits behind your footmen, protected by the environment objects.
 * Push up with your damage dealers and start killing the opponent.
 * If the opposing damage characters threaten your spirits, lineback.
 * Else consider stomping the opposing backline right away if they stay within ranger spirit range.
 * Run the first flag halfway on your runner, then bring the repair kit into your pit.
 * Defend with the runner.
 * The split may allow your main team to break the opposing team quickly, in which case losing NPCs to a multiple damage character split is acceptable.
 * If you want to play it safely, collapse with your entire team using [["Charge!"@7].
 * You can prepare a body block in the front gate with spirits.

Playing against this team
8v8 Situations Flag and Repair Kit Split
 * Don't play an 8v8 unless you can destroy spirits quickly.
 * Push up aggressively. Take out [[Tranquility@16] and [[Nature's Renewal@16] as quickly as possible with fire elementalists and physical damage dealers so your backline can work normally.
 * Prevent the recreation of the communing spirits with interruption and knock downs.
 * Take out [[Brutal Weapon@16].
 * Since the opponent only has a runner for single target protection and healing you can focus a low armour target with all your damage and burn through the communing spirits. Target switching and damage spreading feeds the opponent's backline plan.
 * You may want to lure the runner away with a solo split. This should be done if you have a character which barely poses any threat to spirits and the recreation of spirits.
 * The opponent doesn't have good flag running options. However, if you can't risk to play an 8v8, you won't easily get flags through either.
 * Your best bet is to combine flag running and splitting:
 * If you can't compete in an 8v8 situation, split multiple damage characters.
 * The opponent's options to work against splits are to send back the runner or to do a collapse of all damage characters.
 * Communicate with your team so you know whether you're being threatened with a loaded catapult or a spirit body block.
 * You may want to lure the runner away with a solo split. This should be done if you have a character which barely poses any threat to spirits and the recreation of spirits, while most other characters do.
