See what others build, then adapt
How to scout other boards, and when and how to change plan.
After this lesson you can scout other boards and decide when, and how, to change your plan.
What scouting is
Scouting means looking at other players' boards, and you do it by selecting a player in the player list at the side of the screen. You'll see their board, bench and items, and selecting your own row brings you back. Do it in the planning time between fights.

Question 1 of 3
In a real game
All 8 players buy from one shared pool, so if two others collect your units, copies run out for all three of you.
Stage 2 is a good time to look around, before you pick a plan.
Before you roll a lot of gold, count how many players hold your units.
A pivot is easier early, while units are cheap and items are few.
Scouting takes a few seconds, and you can do it any time a fight isn't running.
Watch out for this
Never looking at other boards means you can't tell when your units are contested, and changing plan every round is the opposite mistake. Scout often, and change plan only when you have a clear reason.
