What do you think, should we surround him closely or become melee fighters at a distance? On the one hand, he might have control, which is an argument in favor of surrounding him. On the other hand, he might have a self-centered AoE, which is an argument in favor of starting our turns at a distance. And there is a third option – he has both of the mentioned abilities, meaning that our butts will be kicked no matter what.
