Lore & Story
Demo 5 Version

Solo Strategy
Keep card usage completely unpredictable — repeat nothing. Phase 1: He builds Strategic Matrix (+5 defense per turn, stacks 5 times). Burst hard before it completes. Phase 2 (below 50% HP): Probability Shift swaps your card with a random one after you play. Counter with diverse, non-repeating cards. Silence is critical here — use it when probability manipulation is active.
