※ Take note that Kamisato Ayaka and Mona's Alternate Sprints cannot be used in this Windtrace.
Rebels Tutorial
During the preparation phase, Rebels need to quickly find a hiding spot, use their Windward Arts to disguise themselves as objects within the map, place bait, or cleverly use the environment to hide and evade from the Hunter.
Rebel Windward Arts List
All original combat talents will be replaced with Windward Arts. This means your abilities will be replaced with the loadout you chose in the preparation interface.

Windtrace 3.3 - Rebel & Hunter Tips
Rebel Hiding Tips
Use Small Characters
Characters with small stature, like Klee, Qiqi, Sayu, Dori and Diona, are difficult to find and can hide behind rocks or structures making it hard for the hunter to find them.
Use The Illusory Beacon
In the Windtrace 3.3 Version rerun, a new feature was introduced in the game which is called the Illusory Beacon. This feature allows captured rebels to create beacons to confuse the hunters and help their team. Once the hunter encounters the beacon, their vision will be obscured while hunting.
Take Advantage Of The Disguise Materials
Make use of the disguise materials and go for a good hiding spot where your preferred disguise will blend well.
Use The Concealing Beacon
Once a rebel goes near the Concealing Beacon they will remain invisible. The Hunter and even your Rebel teammates won't see you during the game.
Hunter Hunting Tips
Go For the Elevated Areas
You can climb at the top of trees and buildings since those are some of the hottest spots for hiding.
Check The Secluded Areas
Hunters can also check those areas that you think aren't mostly visited by players. These spots are quite a good spot as well for hiding.
Make Sure To Take The Special Favor!
Since the Rebels got more skill to use for this 3.3 version, this will be crucial for Hunters, so it is highly recommended to prioritize the Special Favor once it appears.
Use The Hunter's Net
Hunters can use the new Windward Arts that was recently added for the 3.3 version. This skill will help the Hunters dispel the Illusory Beacon and reveal the hiding Rebels, however be careful as some beacons are just a trap and will cause you an obstruction.
