BOARD INTERACTION
Establishes board state — spawns charged / frozen / rooted / encore / radiant cells. Direct hit on placement.
ULT SIGNATURE
SIEGE — large flat damage burst; the cleanest finisher.
CHARGE COST
Medium (combo ≥ 2 fires ability; ULT fills in ~4 placements).
THE CASCADE GRAMMAR
Warrior creates → Mage amplifies → Hunter detonates = damage cascade. Tank absorbs = team gets turns. Captain enables = multiplier + drops.
Every hero answers exactly one verb. Predictability is non-negotiable — variance lives in drop order, never in hero behavior.
5 elements × 1 role
One Warrior per element — same verb, different element-state.
