This is your plan

  1. 1

    Pyromancer: Switch to Scorch the Earth! instead of a single-target route.

    After roll 2 the 5 dice for Scorch the Earth! are reachable and several opponents remain in play.

    Scorch the Earth! hits all opponents for a documented 12 damage each.

    If only one opponent is available, take the single-target route with the higher documented damage.

  2. 2

    Shadow Thief: Keep 5× Shadow and reroll all dice not needed, aiming at Shadow Shank! (5 dice).

    If after roll 1 5× Shadow for Shadow Shank! are reachable.

    Shadow Shank! deals a documented 12 damage, so the 5 committed dice stay on the table.

    If fewer than 5 matching dice remain after roll 1, switch to Insidious Strike.

  3. 3

    Pyromancer + Shadow Thief: First Pyromancer, then Shadow Thief: Knockdown disrupts the opposing response to Counter Strike.

    Both documented effects are available for the same game situation.

    This coordination is documented as an interaction between both characters.
