Detailed notes
Positioning, run killers, and loadout reminders.
Run killers
- Arthur can high-roll an encounter-winning spell before the player gets meaningful input.
- Giving Arthur extra turns greatly increases the odds of a disastrous random sequence.
- Clumping units makes random AoE, control, or displacement rolls much harder to recover from.
- Treating Arthur like a normal scripted miniboss often leads to bad losses because his threat profile is variance-driven, not pattern-driven.
Positioning rules
- Do not stack the whole team unless the board is already safe.
- Keep recovery lanes open so one bad spell does not trap multiple cats.
- Avoid overcommitting fragile units into positions that lose instantly to a high-roll spell.
- Favor stable pressure over greedy setups.
