Editing Mnemon Explains Solar Combat (section)

===Other tactics===

A number of charms will reduce your attackers' dice pools, such as Terrifying Apparition of Glory or Snake Style. They're very useful, but remember to remind your GM that you're using them BEFORE he rolls attacks against you.

The Windhands Gemstone is exceptionally useful for anyone planning on using the scenery to stay out of reach, since such behaviour provokes ranged attacks.

Your opponents might be clever enough to see you're putting them in a bad place, tactically speaking. The Presence and Performance abilities can taunt them into pushing ahead regardless (mock those hot-tempered Cathaks!).

Sorcery can be particularly helpful, especially if it can be cast before combat, giving the Sorcerer plenty of opportunity to stunt their motes back. Impenetrable Frost Barrier, for example, costs 20 motes for Essence x 2 difficulty added to ranged attacks made against those protected by the barrier - and since most character should be able to stunt 4 motes back a turn, most of this cost can be quickly recovered by an enterprising sorcerer.
