Monster tactics

Blue marks heroes, amber numbers mark crystals, red M labels mark Goblins, orange D labels mark Dragons, and green E labels mark exits. Use crystals as screens between heroes and Goblins, and watch each Dragon’s firing direction. Route arrows follow the displayed board, including rotated maps.
