It’s a fun way to look at it. Thermopylae’s narrow pass is like a single lane, the 300 Spartans are your low‑cost minions that hold the line, and the Persian army is the high‑mana, overpowered boss you’re trying to avoid or delay. The key is to keep them alive long enough for your combo to finish it off, just like pacing your spells and using “block” to stall until your winning hand is ready. Think of it as a long, patient grind where every turn you decide whether to push forward or wait for the perfect moment. That's the kind of planning that makes the difference between victory and a quick defeat.
