By now, EVERYONE should be level 4 here.
If you are on a 2 win streak AND have a good 5th unit to play, and you are contesting win streak with multiple players, level to 5 here.
YOU SHOULD BE SCOUTING FOR STRONG OPPONENTS IN THE LOBBY TO POSITION FOR. Usually, these are the opponents with 100 / high HP in the lobby.
On this turn, you should generally pre-level or make 10 gold.
If you can’t make 10 gold without selling valuable units, pre-level to 5 here to get level 5 shop odds (Push in exp until level 4 8/10 exp).
Otherwise, make 10 gold.
However, if you are contesting lose streak and you think having an extra unit for the next two rounds would cause you to beat someone else contesting lose streak, DO NOT PRE-LEVEL.
YOU SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT WHAT CAROUSEL ITEM TO GET HERE. FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH, AND FIFTH BEST CHOICES.
