- Dash Chain: Remember that you can dash through multiple enemies in a single movement phase. Upgrade your heroes' dash abilities to hit more targets or deal more damage. This is excellent for clearing weak foes or setting up elemental reactions.
- Team Jump Synergy: Don't just use team jumps for movement. Heroes like Peach and Rabbid Peach have techniques that activate after a team jump (Boombrella damage boost, Healing Jump). Plan your jumps to maximize these effects.
- Elemental Reactions: Pay close attention to elemental weaknesses and resistances. Combining elemental attacks (e.g., a fire attack followed by a gust attack) can trigger powerful elemental reactions like Burn, Freeze, or Shock, which can stun, damage over time, or make enemies vulnerable.
- Cover Management: Always end your turn in full cover if possible. Utilize destructible cover to your advantage by destroying enemy cover while maintaining your own.
- Overwatch Placement: Mario's Hero Sight and Luigi's Steely Stare are incredibly powerful. Position them to cover choke points or areas where enemies are likely to move, effectively getting extra attacks during the enemy turn.
- Spark Cooldowns: Manage your Spark cooldowns strategically. Don't use powerful active Sparks indiscriminately. Save them for high-threat enemies or critical moments.
Mastering these tactics will significantly improve your performance in challenging battles and allow for more creative solutions to combat puzzles.
