Nothing gained by two step against that, Nullcraft does give an advantage though. Clear that patrol and wait for suits + Two Step havoc next turn. Teching fencers for the all out aggression, we’ll try the tech 3 plan this game

Yasss fencer. Woooo! y’all gon make me go all out, up in here, up in here

How did you kill viper? Edit: never mind I’m just stupid

If Grave lives, I can lean into a Vigor Adept and possibly Training Ground. If he dies, Rook can come in to defend and hold the line.

This is basically lock-down, he can stall briefly with rook max, but I can grab Origin Story now and a Stewardess to go with, and then get another + Appel Stomp or something next turn.

I forgot to put the dead units back in the cycle. Fixed it.

The tech 2 can’t be rebuilt until the tech1 is rebuilt, so I’m afraid, for your next turn, it’s just the tech 1 that will be available (unless I break it again, which I definitely might)

Does this affect your turn at all?

Not at all.

Yea I think another OS + Appel Stomp makes the most sense, I really want one next turn. I’ll worker TR then, and build tech 2 Future for the second hero (Nebula can help me end if I can’t do it alone).

GG WP! Definitely made the right call maxing Rook when you did, but pretty overly optimistic to tech up on turn 3. You would have been better off Snapback-ing River out (as the early river spells are your biggest threat) and playing Rambasa Twins there. Bringing Prynn in would probably be the best move as she’s the combat weakest
