Opening Strategy & Walkthrough

1. Initial Border Sweep

Clear the top ring and outer fluke tips. The central shank clears middle.

2. Key Blocker Obstacle

3. General Arrow Logic Rule

An arrow leaves the board only when every cell between its head and the outer edge is clear of non-removed arrows. Removing one arrow unlocks the lanes behind it.
