Key mistakes

Planting Brightbonnet in spawn
The pulse has a radius. Put it under the squad, then bounce 4 on it.
Helminthing Brightbonnet
That is the kit. Other frames pay Helminth to steal it. You keep it.
Dying with no mushroom down
Vital Decay needs a Stinkbrain or Brightbonnet on the floor. Otherwise you burn a self-revive.
Roaring before the bounce
Invigorated Brightbonnet is more Strength. Roar after 4 hits 2, not before.
