Use initiative to manage exposure
Initiative is a positioning resource. Choose when a hero becomes exposed, and plan the next round before stepping into melee.

Read enemy actions before choosing your route
Enemy behavior is a source of planning information. Inspect the revealed action and reachable attack positions instead of reacting only to distance.

Cards are a scenario budget. Rest when it supports a useful sequence, and spend losses when their effect justifies reducing later options.

Summons need useful paths and targets. Plan their next activation, not just the hex where they appear.
