Fighting without a type counter

Neutral matchups turn a two-minute alpha into a ten-minute potion drain.

No nearby travel point

Respawn farming collapses when each attempt needs a five-minute flight.

Killing every alpha

Capturing gives you the Pal as a mount or worker on top of the drops.

Ignoring tower gating

Tower bosses unlock progression; slot them between farming loops rather than last.
