This is your plan

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Tactician: Keep 5× Star and reroll all dice not needed, aiming at Higher Ground! (5 dice).

    If after roll 1 5× Star for Higher Ground! are reachable.

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