Question New player -- how do I deal with the Comet?

Still learning and the Comet wrecks me every time. Please be nice: what's the actual approach here? Anything I should be shooting or avoiding?

Small addition for newer players reading: don't overcommit, you can always re-engage.

character growth would be me actually listening to this. anyway, great post.

Good thread. This is the kind of low-drama, useful post the section needs more of.
