Fatigue and substitution

A reading: when did our rallies turn into dust

Over a two-hour fight, marches do not stay the same object. Headcount can hold while the tier mix rots (dust / depleted troops filling the march). Headcount can drop because a temporary march-size buff ended. Someone can heal and come back looking like the openers — or come back as a different march.

By hand you need that player’s joins in order, with layer histograms, not just “they kept clicking.” Almost nobody builds that table. They remember “they fell off” as a vibe.

Focus

One player’s rallies of one troop type, or the team’s rallies of one type and then one name from the table. You can also sit on “the joins that were already dust” as a custom cut if you can say how you mean it.

A one-player series landing may already walk size, depletion vs buff expiry, heals, and rebound. Ask the questions it left open.

Why this used to be impossible by hand

Power going down is not a single story. Stable size + worse mix is dust. Sharp size drop + high tiers kept is often a buff falling off. A late collapse is not proof they never healed. You cannot see that in three screenshots.

Questions (any wording)

When

When did this player start sending dust, on this type?
Was the first drop a smaller march or a worse fill?
Did they come back after a heal, and was the rebound the same march?
How did this player’s defensive capability change over the battlefield (main holds, in order)?

What changed inside the march

Which tiers were substituted in as the night went on?
Did headcount stay “full” while the expensive troops disappeared?
How did kill share and points given up move as the mix changed?

Team-shaped

For each teammate and each type, when did they fall off?
Who still filled after they were wounded, and who only appeared?

Do not jump to

“They never healed” from a late small march alone.
“Buff expired” from a power drop alone.

What a good answer looks like

A clock or battle index for the change. Headcount and mix talked about as different facts. Naming dust vs buff-expiry vs rebound is a reading of those facts, not a single power column. Heal language only when the series actually supports a rebound. Numbers, and the reading.

Common miss

Asking “who was dusty” on the whole battlefield with no type and no side. Cut to a rally type or a player series first. Then team commitment if you want the room-wide table.

Dust vs buff expiry vs heal rebound needs joins in order.

Power going down is not one story. You need that player’s rallies of a type (or the team table, then one name) in the library. Import the event, focus the series, then ask when the mix rotted versus when the march simply got smaller.
