Video Summary: How to be a GREAT Light Teammate in 2025 (All Specs)

This video provides an in-depth guide on how to excel as a light specialization player in the 2025 season of The Finals. It covers the unique playstyles of all light specs, emphasizing teamwork, positioning, and utility usage to maximize effectiveness.

Storyline / Core Concept

The main idea for playing light players effectively is to play with your team but not directly on top of them. Stay slightly off to the side to bait enemy fire onto your medium and heavy teammates, then use your utility and DPS to turn engagements in your favor.
Light players should focus on positioning that allows easy rotation to teammates, offers cover, and provides escape routes.
Scouting and listening for enemy movements is crucial, not just visual awareness.
Timing and adapting positioning based on the game phase (early cash out, chaotic moments, vault stages) are key to success.

Gameplay Highlights & Strategies

General Light Player Tips

Use faster movement to quickly start cash outs.
Play off to the side to avoid being the primary target.
Scout and listen for enemy rotations to inform your positioning.
Use utility (Taser, Glitch Grenade, Cloak) smartly to control fights and secure objectives.
Always use cloak during reloads for safer engagements.
After securing cash outs, reposition to control angles and prevent enemy captures.
In chaotic fights, focus on height advantage and poke damage before committing.

Spec-Specific Tips

Cloak

Use cloak to stay hidden and wait for prime engagement opportunities.
Toss glitch grenades to support teammates during fights.

Grapple

Two main playstyles:
- Long-range Grapple: Focus on positioning, off angles, and height control for early damage and stalling.

Use Vortex to stall cash outs and control enemy movement.
Use audio cues to anticipate enemy positions and plan engagements.
Avoid unfavorable fights; always take engagements with a clear advantage.
