Pro Player Spotlight
Meet "SpiceMaster," one of India's top Cardamom Combatants players:
"My favorite strategy is to land near the spice fields early game. I collect as much cardamom as I can for the speed boost, then rush to get the Trishul. Once I have that combo, I can take on multiple enemies at once. Communication with your squad is key - always call out enemy positions and coordinate your attacks."
