Run killers

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.

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.
