Soulbound Volley
The Vanguard and Mystic share 9 health against a 24-HP rival. Swap adjacent runes to make horizontal or vertical trios; all visible matches resolve, then new runes fall in. Vanguard: each A deals 2, B adds 1 shield, C heals 1. Mystic: A deals 1, C deals 2, B heals 1. Switch leader freely before swapping. Rival counters cycle 2, 4, 3 damage; the third stance also has 2 armor. Even a nonmatching swap triggers the counter. Plan offense and protection together.
Tap tiles, or use Tab and Enter. Arrow keys move board focus.
