Breaking the first giant

Shadow Hunter and Grunts hit the edge of Nathan's main, trying to force a bad Town Portal. Nathan refused the bait. Footmen took the front. Peasants pulled back. The Farm line shifted slightly deeper, hiding the fragile repair workers behind tower range. It was a cold, precise defense, the kind that told the entire arena this was not the same Human who used to implode under pressure. The first dive barely did anything. By the second, Nathan had towers up. By the third, Mountain King arrived and Storm Bolt hit the Shadow Hunter directly, stopping the play in its tracks. After that there was nothing flashy left, only exact spacing, early Priests, the right Scroll of Healing, and Water Elementals soaking every ounce of damage they could.
