Contests between evenly matched opponents can go on for some time, especially with the extra layer of strategy required by Battle Gaiden. Do you use crystals \u2014 which are collected by clearing the blocks containing them \u2014 as soon as possible to lower your own stack of lines, or do you keep saving up for the biggest powers that will cause the most damage?
