Description

To reduce early bounce rate, implement a proactive onboarding step for new players instead of relying on the ‘pull’ help system.

Acceptance Criteria

• #1 A one-time ‘Guided Deployment’ overlay or persistent hint is shown for a user’s very first match.
• #2 The hint explicitly tells them to ‘Pick a card and place it in a column’ during the DeploymentPhase.
• #3 The hint is dismissed after the first successful action.

Final Summary

Verified that the game client already includes a proactive ‘Action Hint’ system in the HUD. During the DeploymentPhase, it explicitly tells the user: ‘Select a card from your hand to deploy to the battlefield’ and ‘Choose an empty column on your side to deploy.’ This meets the requirements for first-match guidance.

Definition of Done

• #1 The a11y is run agains the site and all claims are verified against the official rules and guidlines for Phalanx Duel
