Stop Arguing Over Line of Sight: Declaring Intent in Malediction

Declaring intent in Malediction: how saying what you're trying to do before you move prevents arguments, avoids feel-bad moments, and makes every game better. 📊 Log your games and explore the meta: https://www.maledictionstats.app/ Welcome to the Malediction Stats Podcast, where Josh and Cohen dig into the numbers behind Malediction. We break down the current meta, talk Seekers and terrain, share what the data is telling us, and chat about how to sharpen your game. This episode is all about declaring intent, a habit we think every Malediction player should build. We cover the three places it matters most: measurement, line of sight, and positioning. Using real examples from our recent games and tournaments, we talk about hiding a Farsight Ambusher behind a relic, placing a husk exactly within double-move range, contesting husks without stepping into engagement range, and checking whether large bases actually fit through terrain. Whether you're playing casually or in a high-stakes tournament, being clear with your opponent about what you're trying to do keeps the game fair, fun, and free of disputes. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 Intro: why declaring intent matters 0:29 Tournament example: hiding a Farsight Ambusher from line of sight 1:17 All unit stats are open information 1:50 Declaring intent as good game etiquette 3:06 The three uses: measurement, line of sight, positioning 3:24 Measurement: placing a husk within double-move range 4:18 Line of sight: avoiding feel-bad moments 5:52 Positioning: contesting husks outside engagement range 6:46 Base sizes and terrain: will it fit? 8:11 Be a good opponent, casual and competitive 9:07 Outro 💬 Reach out to us on Discord Josh: jojowithsomemojo Cohen: prebiousprime 👍 Like, comment, and share with your gaming group.
