Team Role Inference
Track player actions across multiple Rituals, noting who assists with Tasks versus who hinders progress. Over time, patterns emerge that can hint at a player’s hidden alignment, giving you a basis for future trust decisions.
- Observe player actions for patterns that hint at hidden roles.
- Consider short‑term alliances that serve immediate Task goals.

Location Layout Mapping
Create simple sketches of each Ritual site’s key areas—entry points, Task zones, and choke points. Comparing these maps helps you anticipate movement routes and plan optimal positions for both offense and defense.
- Familiarize yourself with each location’s layout to plan efficient routes.
- Adjust your tool choice based on the specific hazards of the current site.

Tool Category Evaluation
After each Shop visit, list the investigative, offensive, and defensive items you acquire. Assess how each category influences your playstyle and decide which mix best supports the Tasks you need to complete.
- Prioritize Tasks that unlock the most useful tool categories.
- Balance purchases between offensive and defensive items to stay versatile.

Rank Progression Tracking
Maintain a log of match outcomes, rank changes, and reward unlocks. Reviewing this data highlights performance trends, allowing you to focus on areas that most improve your standing on seasonal leaderboards.
- Focus on consistent performance across multiple Rituals to improve rank.
- Watch leaderboard trends to identify peak activity times for strong competition.

- Experiment with different Subjects to find a visual style you enjoy.
- Collect customisation items over time to showcase progression.
