The click combo on abyss is helpful. On the last part of the combo, when the abyss touches the ground and sends a trail of orbs, helps with damaging running players or when youre on the move trying to get away from someone, or trying in regular melee combat. It can dish out a solid 7-10 damage and you can use it to kit with other close range players. It can really help with causing enough damage to eventually use retribution(with a good aim) and kill the player without having to use critical hit or anything else like that.

Another effective tip is using the combo strategy and using arcane orb to cause extra damage.

While escaping someone, if you cant use meditation to heal yourself, aim the arcane orb next to you and shoot it. Itll give you the extra health and if the enemy is close enough, itll damage them as well.

If you need to run, use critical hit on the enemy and its almost a guaranteed stun. If the enemy didnt get stunned, use plasma hole and use retribution, but aim away from them and that should give you a safe distance to heal by using an arcane orb or to meditate.

If its a close range class like renegade or anubis, Use plasma hole and contain them to only the plasma hole space. Kit them on the edge of the plasma hole,using the click combo strategy and arcane orb,trying to keep them in the area, and then use critical  hit and retribution and it should almost always be a gauranteed kill if you aim your retribution right

These tips helped me, sorry if i repeated a tip.
