[b]1.-[/b] Get a fresh Passage. [b]2.-[/b] Buy the free-win Boon. (optional) [b]3.-[/b] Play Trials of Osiris until you're 2 wins away from your goal. [b]4.- [/b] Break away from ToO, go to the Reef, and buy the Mercy (loss-forgiven) Boon & the next-win-counts-as-two Boon. [b]5.-[/b] Go back into ToO. Rather than buying all your Boons up front, this lets you be a little more conservative with your coins. If you're gunning for 9-0, you would break and go to the Reef at 7 wins. If you're gunning for 5 wins, you would break go to the Reef at 3 wins. [b]CAUTION: Just make sure you don't buy the Mercy buff after already losing twice. Some people found out the hard way that it adds a loss to your card before taking it away, so they ended up having to start all over.[/b] [u]I've seen this technique mentioned in comments here before, but I thought I'd surface it for sharing & discussion.[/u]
