Biggest mistakes
- Clumping near the tornado path and letting one collision scatter multiple cats.
- Standing with walls or hazards behind the team, turning forced movement into extra collision damage.
Winning line
- Keep enough spacing that the tornado cannot disrupt several cats at once.
- Use open lanes so a three-space throw does not turn into a wall or object collision.

Opener

Midfight
- Rotate around the tornado rather than through it, and punish Dust Devil when Teleport leaves it away from the main hazard.
Finisher
- Close once the tornado cannot scatter your formation into lethal collisions.
