Opening Strategy & Walkthrough
1. Initial Border Sweep
Sweep the top helmet brow and the outer jawlines. The eyes are locked from both sides.
2. Key Blocker Obstacle
The eye slits create mutual locks between horizontal and vertical arrows.
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.
