🎯 Advanced Combat Tactics
Corner Dominance
Power Position Benefits:
- • 9 possible harm tiles from corner
- • Opponent has only 3 escape routes
- • All escapes lead to harm range
- • Stun attempt control
Execution Strategy:
- → Force with harm pressure
- → Fake stun attempts
- → Throw potions in escape path
- → Fast cast harm spam
Potion Returns
Run opponent's explosion potion back to them by closing distance as it explodes. Force them to take their own damage.
Fake Loading
Start drinking potion animation but cancel. Forces defensive reactions and wastes opponent's mana on unnecessary heals.
