Turn-based decisions involve placement, remaining energy and the enemy’s next attack, as well as die strength. Adapt deck size to relics and reroll resources rather than following a fixed count.

From the start of a turn to confirmation
- Read the enemy’s next action and estimate the defense you need first.
- Choose positions for your main dice and check whether support dice can reach them.
- Reserve energy for rerolls or extra placement; do not fill the board with support dice alone.
- Check placement, rolled values and activation order before ending the turn.
