What to study
The quietest battle read in the set: no stat banner is visible, but the diamond movement grid tiled across the snowfield, the red target ring under the central dredge, and the red and blue tile outlines together show how the game stages a turn before any panel appears. The grid is the interface here, drawn lightly enough that the painted snow still dominates. Frame at about 43.7s in the Launch Trailer (Steam). No trailer burn-in or caption on this frame.
