Common tactics / tips

• Controlling the Warsong Shrine is often important in defeating your opponent in a fight involving you, your opponent, and all of each player's heroes.
• The Battle Cry Shrine and Energy Shrine help when it comes to small fights.
• Note that the Center Shrine is the farthest distance away from the Warsong's Shrine. This can be a huge disadvantage or advantage, depending on how you use it.
