Tactics

Ranged blaster glass cannon. Poor AC means avoid melee and archers. keep distance as much as possible and use cover when able. Use spells like shield and misty step to avoid or break melee when needed but try to focus slots and sorcery points on big powerful spells enhanced by metamagic. burn pact magic slots for more sorcery points any time the party can be convinced to take a short rest as Wint will probably spent them quickly, especially once Psionic Sorcery is available. concentration will probably not be that important early on and will improve after getting Eldritch Mind invocation at Warlock 3 (likely level 8 or maybe 6). lean into being a face and use magic when needed to understand or be understood.
