They don't.
Back when racketeers were OP racket spam kinda worked. Now you can only build stingers and transition to something else, like air or firewalkers.

High ground can let rogues fight them.
Stingers can be defended by shields to fight them.
Snitch can take an enemy be surprise and turn the tide. Double so if you cloak it.
Bandits aren't bad, even if the arent as good against recluse as you would want.

That said, these are mostly transitions into another plan.

make like 5 snitches, then morph an iris and run your cloaked snitches right into his recluse wall

probably wont work if he get flea spam tho
