			Kudzu may be used to provide a protective circle (in whole or in part) where appropriate. See [[Tactics#The_Kudzu_Fortress\|The Kudzu Fortress]] for more.
			If done right, this can save the party, if done wrong, this can kill a party. So, make sure you know when and where to use kudzu.

It's sometimes better to have two good fighters at 25% health than one fallen and one at 50% health. It can be a tough call, but consider the group's interests first. The most effective groups know how to take hits for each other, and how to cover each other. The goal is to avoid anyone falling, and by spreading out damage and equally as possible, means fewer people get closer to red or fall.

			If you are a brick for the group, or you can take hits and not fall. Make sure to cover other exiles that might fall in various circumstances. Exiles are usually more valuable alive, so if you can take hit to prevent another person from falling, you increase overall group survival.
