Prep phase control priority
Hider controls in Paint Or OOF follow spot-first logic: movement until you commit, then paint, then freeze. Reordering costs wins — see beginner guide.
Sprint paths should hug walls toward the nearest pool matching your target surface hue. Open-field running telegraphs intent to seekers reviewing spawn replays.
Freeze and pose chain
After paint, trigger freeze before tweaking rotate. Moving breaks camouflage even if colors are perfect. Use pose tools while unfrozen only during prep.
