Tactics: Best Of

Summary of Best Tactics Usage

Copy/pasted from the forum. I've put in bold the 3 best setups. I'm pretty sure everyone is aware that these are the best combos, but I wanted everyone to see the list of what miscellaneous tactics are best. Wu's/RS/FiA are still being analyzed, but look to be pretty good.
