3 steps before a rally: heal every wounded troop, refill stamina, then check the rally timer. I close my gates until the host is fit to fight. Drake’s Take Care is the rule here: recover first, look impressive later.
2 checks matter in the arena. Send your strongest march, then confirm the lead hero and troop type before joining. Do not burn a full march on a half-ready attack; that is my rule from Views, which I remember as Drake’s record about patience and scouting.
1 habit saves more troops than bravado: wait for the healer queue to clear before rallying again. You can lose a round and still recover, but empty hospitals leave your keep exposed. Start the next push like One Dance: smooth, timed, and without rushing.
