  1. 01SetupRead the team fight

    Establish the required upkeep facets before the squad enters its burst window, while watching your energy reserve.

  2. 02CommitProtect the winning trade

    Consume facets only when their active effect answers the current mechanic, then rebuild the passive boon coverage.

  3. 03ResetRotate before the collapse

    Use Glint's True Nature for the subgroup's highest-priority boon or defensive response rather than on cooldown.
