Best short answer

Identify where kittens are and which one is most likely to bodyguard your next action.

Biggest mistakes
  • Wasting turns on the wrong target: bodyguard swaps steal your best attacks.
  • Ignoring the escape conditions: if kittens die, Maisie may run; if Maisie dies, kittens may run (value loss).
  • Overcommitting into a protected target and getting tempo-checked by swaps.
How you actually win
  • You control target selection so bodyguard swaps don’t waste your burst.
  • You plan whether your goal is to eliminate kittens first or force Maisie down safely.
  • You maintain formation so swaps don’t put a squishy into danger.

Win conditions

  • You plan whether your goal is to eliminate kittens first or force Maisie down safely.
  • You maintain formation so swaps don’t put a squishy into danger.
Positioning rules
  • Assume your first targeted hit may be redirected—don’t aim your highest-value skill unless you can accept the swap.
  • Keep your fragile unit away from the swap line (don’t let a kitten swap into a lethal tile).
  • If killing kittens is required, do it efficiently (AOE or chained hits) to deny repeated redirection.
Tempo plan
Opener (rounds 1–2)
  • Identify where kittens are and which one is most likely to bodyguard your next action.

Finisher (close safely)
  • Close with controlled targeting; don’t let the last swap strand a unit in danger.
