Fit Powers into the available grid
Powers occupy shaped spaces in a loadout grid. A strong individual ability may force out several smaller ones, so plan the whole arrangement before choosing the final set.
| Power role | Purpose | Best time |
|---|---|---|
| Recovery | Restore health | Before the next dangerous encounter |
| Defense | Reduce immediate risk | During a dense attack sequence |
| Movement | Improve positioning | Close or create distance |
| Offense | Increase attack pressure | During a reliable damage opening |
Match Powers to the weapon’s weakness
A slow heavy weapon may benefit from movement support; an aggressive approach may need protection or recovery. Choose effects that support a specific battle plan instead of filling space at random.
| Condition type | Verify | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|
| Chapter clear | Correct chapter and required result | Clearing a different route |
| Intensity requirement | Specified setting or threshold | Finishing after a drop below it |
| Weapon requirement | Correct weapon or category | Using a similar-looking model |
| Combat feat | Exact action and count | Assuming any victory qualifies |
| Feather use | Square permits it | Some conditions cannot be bypassed |
Watch limited uses during ground battles
Equipped Powers have a limited activation supply. Save a recovery or defensive use for a difficult room rather than spending it because the icon is available.
Read each Treasure Hunt condition exactly
The boards reward concrete feats involving chapters, equipment or other modes. A clear at the wrong Intensity or with the wrong weapon may not satisfy the square you targeted.
