That’s been a tough one, especially seeing that you can so easily attack for 20 damage, even if I break through and break your tech 2 building… Max is just soo strong, especially with battle suits for the hyperion. This fifth damage from a flickered one really makes a huge difference.
But well, I think I finally found a line that seems rather good. Now please surprise me with purple wonders

Thoughts
puh, that’s some defense. yes, tech 2 break is possible but with immortal probably not worth it… have to take the gamble whether to better protect max from tric or from now/hyperion. chose the former due to it leaving his own defense lower then when he just snipes max down and profits from the level bonus while keeping his patrol intact.
Post draw: Uff, almost all my fatties are in my next hand… Not good…
