Failing to respect her Holy Shields and wasting early burst.
Allowing your last undowned cat to be charmed, which can trigger an immediate defeat.

Positioning rules

Do not leave valuable melee units adjacent to Marshmallow at the start of her turn.
Because she can only charm one unit at a time and only in melee range, spacing and kiting are strong.
If possible, keep low-value summons or expendable units closer to her than your main damage dealers.
Avoid putting your final surviving cat in a position where a charm can immediately lose the fight.
