Encounter Protocol:

When facing a Master, it is crucial to prioritize assessing their specific abilities and tactics. Masks should establish clear communication channels to coordinate responses and minimize the impact of the Master's control. Deploying counter-Master Masks or individuals with expertise in resisting mental manipulation may provide an advantage in negating or mitigating the Master's influence. Additionally, Shakers can often negate the number advantage that Masters have, while Blasters should attempt to subdue them from outside of their range of influence.

• Disruption Techniques: Employ tactics or abilities that disrupt the Master's concentration or influence over their targets.
• Isolation: Isolate affected individuals to prevent them from carrying out harmful commands.
• Psychic Resistance: Utilize Masks or individuals with strong mental fortitude to resist the Master's control.
