Openings
Standard Healing Path
Community opening following the spirit's natural progression: minor/minor/major to see your options before choosing the first healing card. Splits healing tokens between R1 and R2 for flexibility.
Growth: Forced (gain Minor, place presence). Take Water or Animal Minor for healing card support. Place bleeding token on R1.
Growth: Forced (gain Minor, place presence). Take another Minor. Place bleeding token on R2 to keep both healing options open.
Growth: Gain Major. Use draft to inform healing card choice - Beast majors → Roiling Waters; control majors → Serene Waters. Choose first healing card based on draft.
Unlock G3, prefer over G2 (gives energy). Go for 3 plays once track splits. Second healing card based on power synergy: Roiling = more fear; Serene = better control.
