movements and weapon ranges to avoid deadly charges and fusion pistol shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">- Target Fast Transports<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Concentrate on eliminating their fast transports to disrupt their mobility and firepower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">- Exploit Their Invulnerable Saves<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Utilize high-volume shooting to overcome their invulnerable saves and reduce their survivability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">- Employ Mortal Wounds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Look for sources of mortal wounds, as they bypass hit penalties and invulnerable saves, making them highly effective against Harlequins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">- Control the Game<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Force Harlequins into suboptimal moves by dominating
