'Real' Tips/Advanced Strategy?

[nivra0]

Hmm... I'm not a Super-Titan yet, but here are some tips I've started to glean.

Understand the difference between the factions. Skally's are much more defensive b/c of their special unit. That's their strength. Adorables are more offensive, and Feedback are both.

Understand map flow based on spawn points and wit points. Peekaboo is a great example of this. Flow tends to happen counter-clockwise due to the way the spawn points are positioned. What can you do to take advantage of this? If you're building a Skally defense, place your bombshell to counter their offensive. Also understand that the initial few moves may have clockwise flow due to the position of initial units.

Understanding wits: When deciding whether to perform an exchange, calculate the wit value of what you will lose vs. what they will lose, including buffs and/or movements. e.g. if you buff a runner and then hop it twice across the board to kill a sniper on their spawn, you've spent 5 wits while they've only lost 3 wits. Remember that a piece that's within one move of your own spawn only has one extra wit value due to movement even if you've moved it 4 times to get it there. This isn't the only determining factor behind an exchange. Obviously, board control, momentum, and other issues apply, but this should help.
