Platinum discipline

Morning, day, night, daily, Radar, swarm, dual-slot, static, gift, and event rows remain distinct when their requirements differ.

Route Plan

Select three rentals from the offered six, learn opposing sets through battle, trade one rental after each win when it improves coverage, and prepare for Thorton's randomized rentals.

  • Thorton has no fixed static team in source data. His side is generated from the facility rental pool, so the guide intentionally does not invent a party.
