Recommended choices

Priorities

  • Be decisive, but don't be reckless: you're still human.
  • Use investigation to pick favorable fights.
  • Anchor your Drive and Touchstones. Your motivation needs a cost.

Play tips

  • Plan exits and contingencies; treat every fight as lethal.
  • Use your cell: split roles (intel, pressure, cover).
  • Track what you learn about the monster and update tactics.
