Prioritize High-Mobility

  • Characters with strong movement abilities (e.g., Acrobat.png Acrobat, Illusionist.png Illusionist, Claw Launcher.png Claw Launcher) offer superior flexibility.
  • High mobility allows for:
    • Board control. Reaching key positions faster.
    • Threatening the opponent’s Leader before they can set up defenses.
    • Avoiding traps by moving out of danger zones.
  • Characters with low mobility (e.g., Nemesis (Leaders).png Nemesis, Assassin.png Assassin) can be useful but are harder to maneuver effectively.

Opening

Leader 1st Move: One of the best opening move is to advance the Leader forward.

This secures board presence early, provides flexibility for future moves, applies pressure on the opponent and enable strong recruit placement.

Control the Center

Establish central presence: Moving pieces toward the center of the board increases their influence, giving them access to more movement and attack options.
