Run killers

Hitting from the side/back: you waste turns and get knocked back instead of dealing damage.
Letting creep control the board: if it must be in creep to attack (phase 2), it becomes a zone-denial puzzle.
Chasing the wrong angle: the fight is an orientation problem, not a damage race.

Positioning rules

Always re-position to the front arc before committing an attack.
If a hit is blocked, treat it as a signal to rotate, not to keep swinging.
Maintain diagonal escape tiles so you can re-angle quickly when it moves.
