Playstyle
Survival's basic playstyle is about casting as many mongoose bites as possible. Doing so puts you in a mongoose fury window which increases the damage of consecutive mongoose bites by 15 % stacking up to 5. This buff does not refresh. To optimize this you generally want to enter a new mongoose fury window with as much focus as possible and prioritizing mongoose bites when the buff is about to expire.
Cooldowns
Spearhead and coordinated assault have counter synergy with each other and should therefore be used separately.
It is also worth noting that if speced into coordinated kill you want to only use coordinated assaults procs on kill shots due to bombs being completely worthless.
