what's the best move?


It's alwayslurking's turn. He's up by 12.3 sides.   What attack gives him the best chance of winning? 

[I saved this position five years ago -- I don't completely remember why. In reviewing it, at first, I thought the answer was obvious, but I'm starting to second-guess myself.]




ElihuRoot performed Skill attack using [(4):3,p(6,6):6,(W=7):1] against [g(10):10]; Defender g(10) was captured; Attacker (4) rerolled 3 => 2; Attacker p(6,6) rerolled 6 => 5; Attacker (W=7) rerolled 1 => 7.

I'd go with stinger + the X-swing combined to take the W-swing. Or are you considering taking out the twin poison first, so nothing can get on top of the 12-sider?

Having looked up the original game, I am consistent with five-years-ago me.
