Heads up: at 31:01 you move the Stun chip to the Discard area. Green/red Status Effect chips usually go to the Positive/Negative Status Area on the Guard Ability Dashboard. Why does this matter? Because those green/red chips are returned to the supply in each Cleanup Phase. You eventually returned it to the supply at 42:02 but you could easily accidentally add those chips back in when refilling your bag if they are in the Discard area.
At 59:58, you are deciding that Grigory should go first. However, unless there is some very obvious reason to use Grigory’s abilities immediately, it is almost always better to have Alek go first to try to get the green AP given to Grigory in that first round. That single green AP just adds so much benefit in that first round; drawing an extra black chip and more AP to spend for crunchy combos. I’d say that 95% of the time I play Alex first to get that green AP cube. In fact, I felt it was so important that I gave Alex an item that gives him the ability to call a mulligan if he doesn’t draw a shield chip in that first round.
LOL, the debate at 40:45 regarding the aggro chip: using Emerald Poison is an ability, not an attack, even though it dealt damage. You can easily tell what is an *attack* because the action will either have the fist icon or a modifier to the fist icon. Note that even if an attack does no damage, that attack would draw the aggro chip. But Emerald Poison is not an attack. (This makes it useful to damage enemies on the back row prior to the front row being defeated, BTW.)
I am really surprised you guys have gotten this far and have not yet upgraded your satchels. Those are *so* very useful!
