There's someone named KJC Lite that commented under me. You should see their advice cause it helped me get a victory :)
Also I started speculating if timing had to do with something, because KJC won from a setup that I lost to, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense since I followed exactly what they said. I took slightly extra time to move things around after placing down a similar setup and won. It could be the setup but I'm wondering if it's more likely just getting the perfect time to start the game to maximize the wizard towers' recharges.
