Save and restore MP before engaging because retreat is reported unavailable. Prepare an independent cure and revival actor for Sleep Gas and Blaster’s ordinary Instant Death pressure. Intangir’s safe Dark offense does not transfer to this machine.
Answer the dangerous action
Haywire adds enemy actions. Keep support protected until Overheat removes that acceleration and leaves a temporary action gap. Recover first if unstable, then use efficient damage in the opening. Wave Cannon needs a complete Stagger before its warning resolves or magic protection plus immediate recovery. The overheat opportunity is not a permanent shutdown.
After the battle
Verify victory before crossing the dungeon’s remaining threats. Restore the protection and MP spent in the accelerated phase; no fixed turn schedule is verified across difficulty.
