Surviving in Nowhere Land isn't about having the biggest sword; it's about managing your debts and positioning.
The Economy of Action
When to Reach vs. Push
The core choice in every turn is how to manipulate your dice pool.
Reach (Borrowing)
Use when:
- You must succeed now to prevent a disaster.
- You have full health (can risk a 1).
- Your next turn is less critical.
Push (Rerolling)
Use when:
- You rolled many non-1 failures (2s and 3s).
- You cannot afford to take damage (low health).
- You need to fish for 6s (explosions).
Positioning & Terrain
The Flank
Attacking an enemy from opposite sides grants +2 Dice to both attackers. This is the single most effective way to increase damage output.
Choke Points
In narrow corridors (1 hex wide), only one enemy can attack you at a time. Use your "Tank" (High Forma) to block the path while "Glass Cannons" (High Anima/Potentials) fire from behind.
