The educated Strix player knows not to attack you when you're in Counter. The key to getting him is to fight fire with fire and be as stealthy and sneaky as possible; and be ready to react when he inevitably pulls out his sidearm.

Pip requires investment. Jack of all trades, master of none. Mega Potion Pip? Put every card you can into Healing Potion. Catalyst Pip? Go for the Weapon or Explosive Flask cards. This will help make Pip's objective clearer to him and his team.
