How to Adapt When the Board Changes
No Plan Survives Contact
Every Totemancer match begins with an idea, but strong opponents will challenge it. The winner is rarely the player with the first plan – it is the one who adapts fastest.
Recognizing Turning Points
You should reconsider your strategy when:
- the opponent creates a dangerous extra-turn threat
- a key area becomes impossible to secure
- a Burst changes the balance of the board
Switching Roles
Good players change roles smoothly:
- from offense → defense when ahead
- from defense → counterattack when an opening appears
- from big frameworks → safe territory in the endgame
Reading the Opponent
Ask what they are trying to achieve, not just what they played. If you understand their goal, you can choose the move that hurts the plan instead of reacting blindly.
Simple Adaptation Rules
- When behind – seek complexity and risk
- When ahead – simplify and secure
- After a Burst – re-evaluate the whole board
Emotional Flexibility
Attachment to your original idea is dangerous. Let go of plans that no longer fit the position and build a new one from the current reality.
Adaptation turns Totemancer from a puzzle into a true strategic duel.
