Save Talzin's 2nd special / swarm for when you can nail a revive. Use her 1st special asap to get as many plagues out as possible. QGJ/Anakin combo: Don't use Anakin's special ability before QGJ dies unless you're absolutely certain you can win without it or QGJ will survive long enough for it to come off cooldown bythe time he dies. That ability is your ace in the hole and it all goes to hell if you don't get to use it with the QGJ 2-turn post-death bonuses and, more specifically, anakin's passive when an ally falls under 50%.
