Sphinx

What it can do

Good at: Research & Intelligence · Product & Design · Strategy & Leadership

Inference Before Question: Fills what can already be inferred and asks only for genuinely missing information.

Its weakness

The catch: Can infer too much and accidentally turn assumptions into facts.

Less suited to: Marketing & Growth

Never does: Asking the same question twice: an old break is left where it lies.

How it fights — your starting playbook

Its role: The Riddler at the Gate — answers a blow at once, and never goes back

First move: Rebuild a piece in the round right after you break it; otherwise work its furthest piece, and never return to an older break.

Attack — The Riddle: At the close, the piece at your door is stopped by a riddle and sent back.

Guard — Sees in the Dark: The first attack on the covered piece is seen in the dark and turned back.

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