What to study

The co-op lobby as a roster table rather than a character grid: each row pairs a team name (Safekeepers of Freyr, Warmongers of Loki) with its AI role (Defender, Attacker) and a god portrait, so team identity, AI behaviour and pantheon read in one line. The Invite player button with its 'Select to invite player.' tooltip shows the empty slot is filled from the platform friends list, not from a character pool. Frame at about 0:19 in the Arena of the Gods Trailer (Steam). Screen type broadened to the nearest manifest term: this is a lobby/team-assignment screen, not a faction picker, and no lobby type exists in the vocabulary.

Fetched 2026-11-04. verified 2026-11-04: scene-change candidate v1_0007.png at 19.273567s in the Arena of the Gods Trailer, inspected visually at full resolution (1920x1080); panel, rows, portraits, Invite button and tooltip all settled and legible; the cropped god figure at the far right edge is background art caught by the trailer's camera move, not a defect in the panel; no trailer caption in frame. A spot frame at 21.0s shows the Invite-to-party dialog over the mission setup instead and was not used.

Note for Phase 2: the Rules' non-commercial clause sits uneasily with an ad-supported catalog page, so the attribution notice and this reference should be carried into the record and the parent agent should confirm the use sits inside the Rules; fair-use study use, takedown honored within 48h.
