Tips

Use Robin's dual-team takedowns whenever available during mixed-group combat encounters to eliminate high-threat targets instantly.
Disruptor ammunition is extremely effective against the sentry guns and weapons crates deployed in the studio corridors during this sequence.
Use ceiling grates and upper gantries to avoid the wide sightlines of Harley's armed guards in the central hub.
