Agree on roles from the actual lobby
The value here is reducing duplicated attention, not prescribing unit balance. Final Stand's 3.0 preview announces three-player co-op and new units/abilities/passive technologies. Since the best response depends on map, unlocked options and patch, assign responsibilities in plain language and verify in the live UI.
- Before queueing, confirm all three players are in Final Stand and on the same current build.
- Ask each player what units/abilities are actually available in their lobby; don't assume a previewed option is unlocked for this run.
- Choose one person to call immediate threats, one to monitor reinforcement/economy/upgrade prompts and one to watch an agreed objective or uncovered lane. Swap if the map makes these roles unbalanced.
- Set a short check-in after the first major wave/objective: name one lane under pressure and one resource/upgrade constraint.
- If a run fails, record the battleground, displayed build, team roles and the first point the plan stopped working. Change one role assignment next run rather than claiming a universal composition.
| Planning decision | Useful question | Avoid assuming |
|---|---|---|
| Threat caller | Who tracks the active threat and communicates it? | That one player must always use one faction/unit |
| Upgrade attention | Who checks the current upgrade choices and costs? | A previewed passive is unlocked in this run |
| Coverage | Which objective/lane is uncovered if the team groups? | A role plan guarantees a clear |
| After-action change | What was the first observable overload? | One failure proves a patch-wide balance rule |

Keep a factual run debrief
Use a compact note so a future attempt can be compared against the same map and build. The worksheet does not read or save the match.
- Write the battle/battleground name shown in-game, build and party size.
- List each player's chosen responsibility, not private account details.
- Record the first objective or lane that became unsustainable and what the UI showed.
- Ask a focused question in external discussions only after separating observation from proposed solution.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the best Final Stand composition?
No. It is a flexible communication template; current balance, map and available options matter.
Does the official source document the roles?
No. It documents the mode and new options; the role split is clearly editorial advice.
Can the worksheet post my result?
No. It only formats entries in the browser; sharing is manual and optional.
