Fast answer

Read this first
Best short answer

In Phase 1, learn the Order pattern quickly and keep your team mobile enough to answer highlighted tiles. Do not overcommit into Trample lanes while your movement is being pressured.

Biggest mistakes
  • •Ignoring Orders and failing to move off highlighted tiles before the telegraphed attack lands.
  • •Losing too much mobility in Phase 1 and becoming unable to reposition safely.
  • •Entering Phase 2 unprepared for the sack explosion knockback and the shift into Blood Laser plus summons.
How you actually win
  • •Respect Orders every round and preserve enough mobility to answer them.
  • •Manage Phase 1 carefully so the phase transition does not blow apart your formation.
  • •In Phase 2, spread out, avoid easy beam lines, and control Clot summons before they pile up.

  • •Before the phase transition, avoid fragile formations that will be ruined by heavy knockback.
  • •In Phase 2, avoid lining multiple cats up in a cardinal direction for Blood Laser.

Opener (rounds 1–2)
  • •In Phase 1, learn the Order pattern quickly and keep your team mobile enough to answer highlighted tiles.
  • •Do not overcommit into Trample lanes while your movement is being pressured.
Midfight (stabilize)
  • •Stabilize through repeated Orders and prepare for the sack explosion that starts Phase 2.
  • •Keep formation flexible so heavy knockback does not create a disaster transition.
Finisher (close safely)
  • •In Phase 2, punish safely between jumps while denying easy Blood Laser lines.
  • •Clean up Clot summons and finish before the agile second phase overwhelms the board.
