'go from disadvantage to advantage?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'hunters battle frantically' is the wordplay.
'frantically' indicates anagramming the letters.
'hunters'+'battle'='huntersbattle'
'huntersbattle' is an anagram of 'TURN THE TABLES'.

'to' is the link.
