Decision-first notes
Win conditions
You move with trap awareness and avoid committing through unknown tiles. You fight at safe spacing bands (either close enough to deny shots, or far enough to control lanes). You prevent bonus-turn trap spam from snowballing into turn loss.
Opener
  • Play slow for one cycle: confirm trap behavior and mark unsafe lanes.
  • Set up a responder to rescue trapped units.
Midfight
  • Force him to choose between shooting and trap placement; punish when he spends bonus turns on traps.
  • Rotate through safe tiles; don’t path through freshly contested ground.
Finisher
  • Commit burst once trap density is controlled or you have a clean safe lane.
  • Don’t chase into unknown tiles on the last turns—trap wipes happen at the end.
Detailed notes
Positioning, run killers, and loadout reminders.
Run killers
  • Walking through lanes without trap discipline: invisible traps steal turns and positioning.
  • Chasing into adjacency: he punishes adjacent hitters with pushback, breaking your tempo.
  • Misunderstanding minimum range: standing at 2 tiles can be the safest spot; standing at 3–5 invites shots.
Positioning rules
  • Treat any open lane as trapped after his bonus turns—don’t full-commit blind.
  • If you must approach, do it with a ‘sweeper’ unit first, not your carry.
  • When possible, hold positions within his minimum range band to deny the ranged basic.
  • Avoid trading adjacent hits unless you can handle the pushback consequence.
