The difficulty of the victory and the role of Phoenix are also indicated by the statistics. Although this is most likely a hint (9 out of 22).
I think they were killing White Rooks.
2. Knight G8 investigated Phoenix.
3. Someone attacked those who attacked Phoenix (in my opinion, the Rooks). Defenses were triggered (50%).
4. Gray blocked someone, meaning he's still alive.
5. With Kaito, it's either E2 or E7. Although, what is there to envy? Probably just a figure of speech :)
6. Morninga was healed. And he was healed for a reason, meaning that even though he will use ND (Necromantic Defense), healing was still needed. This could be anything. For example, an assassination attempt by Gray (if I missed something again) or Black. But I think it's Black, as seen below.
7. Knight G8 suddenly attacked Nefela, who was manipulating ND. The suddenness contrasts with the previous killing of GoedenDag. That is, Gray was the one who killed him.
Hint: the final stretch of the rally.
In total
1. White losses:
- GoedenDag (Pawn A2).
2. Black losses:
- Vishmaster (Bishop C8);
- Phoenix (Queen);
- Loreley (?);
- Nefela (Knight B8).
Black has lost the most pieces so far.
I'll try to guess the hints. It will be easier for the "maniac" ones, because there are two. Probably :(
