Tactical Tips
War Strike Positioning
Position to hit multiple enemies in a line. War Strike's 3+STR damage to all targets makes it devastating against grouped formations. Predict enemy movement.
Buff Timing
Attack Order (+2 STR) costs 6 energy—use before big pushes. Steel Formation (+2 Armor) for defensive stands. Both last 3 turns and affect 3x3 area.
Iron Banner Management
Position centrally to maximize 5x5 aura range. First kill grants +1 STR, second grants +1 Armor, then alternates. Snowballs in sustained fights.
Energy Economy
Both buffs cost 6 energy. Plan your energy usage—can't cast both in quick succession. Prioritize based on enemy composition.
