Updated

Bring a first circuit online

Trace the entire supply-to-output chain rather than inspecting modules in isolation.

Steps and checks
  1. Identify a generator and an attack module, then connect their output and input terminals.
  2. If power does not arrive, inspect intermediate terminals, compatible connection colors and branches.
  3. After adding storage, test a charging turn separately from a spending turn.
  4. Before expanding into healing or extra outputs, verify that at least one attack path works reliably.

Diagnose storage and distribution

Similar-looking distribution modules need not behave alike. Match the tooltip to the circuit's visible behavior.

Steps and checks
SymptomInspect
Generation without an attackRequired power, cable direction and competing branches.
Storage remains emptyIts input connection and the actual charging timing.
Stored power is not releasedIts output state. Check an Accumulator's input/output state rather than treating it as a pass-through wire.
Only one branch receives powerWhether the module alternates or splits output, including its order.

Use the timeline defensively

Inspect environmental hazards as well as enemy turns.

Steps and checks
  1. When a volcano or lightning strike is forecast, compare its timing with your next action.
  2. Use turn-order manipulation to avoid hazards, not only to increase damage.
  3. Before waiting for a charged burst, check healing needs and the enemy's next action.

Prepare for camp

Separate long-term options from a single battle's power budget.

Steps and checks
StageAction
On acquisitionClassify a module as generation, storage, conversion or output.
Before expandingLeave rack space and a cable route without breaking the core circuit.
At campReview the module-storage choices and preserve options useful to a future build.
