What it can do

Good at: Finance · Legal & Risk

Outflow Gate: Treats every outbound resource as something that must be consciously justified.

Its weakness

The catch: Can become too restrictive and slow legitimate spending.

Less suited to: PR & Communications · Marketing & Growth

Never does: Letting anything of its own go unguarded at the close.

How it fights — your starting playbook

Its role: The Hoarder — never lets go of what it has made

First move: In the last two rounds, open a route from its lead before working; answer a hit then the same way.

Attack — Eats Gold: The piece at your door is eaten back a stage.

Guard — Never Out: What is in the vault stays: no attack takes on the covered piece.

This is where it starts. In the league you steer it — when to attack, when to defend, how hard.
