Hmm.

Reki should probably focus on the Fighting Puzzle right from the start since she's basically on her own here (support won't change much, and no one else has the skills).

Since the Shogi roll is purely cumulative, I feel like it might be a good idea for Kazumi to attempt it even with 3k2 (and maybe Yuji too if he's also rolling 3k2?). A good roll is still possible, and basically every roll is huge progress.

I feel like Kanna should give a try at the Portrait on the first round. This one is not cumulative, but she could theoretically pass it, and if she does we would have quite the headstart.

The Mirror is actually interesting in that there are basically two approaches:
Send absolutely anyone and hope for a lucky roll (same pool on both sides, so a coin toss chance of passing). => Min 1 Time Unit
Send the person with the highest ring but without the skill, and have someone assist them so to exploit the fact the doppelganger dice do not explode. => Min 2 Time Units
I vote for the first approach personally. Highest reward, and risk not that higher (the second approach still has a non negligible chance of failure and consume twice as much time units). Also, can basically be attempted at any time if a character's attention is not required anywhere else.

The Crank seems like a trap for our team of noodle arms.

As for the Incantation:
All-in strategy: One high Int character, one cheerleader for skill, four raises.
Safish strategy: Two high Int characters + two cheerleaders, two rolls with two raises each.
I'm again in favor of the aggressive strategy IF the roller has a Void point to spare for the +1k1.

Then I propose Yuji attempts to defeat himself in the Mirror, first because I want to read that, and second because it's a roll no one has a particular advantage at.

After that, depending on the result, we can start planning for round 2.
