 - Alle acht Partien enden regulär durch einen Ancient-Fall, nach 8–15 Wellen (Blau 5, Rot 3). 83 Kampfphasen enden, weil alle beweglichen Einheiten gefallen sind, 8 durch einen Kernfall, keine durch das Zeitfenster.
 - **Exakter Spiegel** (sechsmal derselbe Bund, dasselbe deterministische Profil): Die Partie bleibt über 60 Runden Bit für Bit symmetrisch. Sie wird aber nicht entschieden, weil sich gleich starke Armeen und Wellen gegenseitig aufheben. Das ist der erwartbare Grenzfall identischen Spiels. Kein Timer oder Gebäudeverfall erzwingt ein Ende. Heldenwachstum, Angriffschampions und Boss (M2) liefern die beabsichtigten Asymmetrien.
 - Kleine Botstichproben belegen keine ausgewogene Spielerfahrung. Die Bünde und Profile sind noch nicht getrennt ausgewertet (M3).

+## M2 · Helden, Items, Champions, Boss
+
+Werte in `scripts/luneraria/core/lune_content.gd`, Begründungen im [Regelwerk](REGELWERK.md) §4.
+
+| Wert | Stand | Begründung |
+| --- | ---: | --- |
+| Heldenpreis | 260 | Mehr als das Startgold: Ein Held kommt frühestens in Runde 2 und ersetzt keine frühe Armee. |
+| Heldenwerte | Ringborke 2.200 HP / 34, Quellgeflecht 1.300 / 28, Funkenlanze 950 / 46 | Aus den Truppenwerten der Aufwertungsstufe mit etwa 1,4-fachem Leben abgeleitet. |
+| Stufen | 10; +9 % Leben, +7 % Schaden je Stufe | In 12 Bot-Partien erreichen Helden bis Partieende Stufe 3–6, Talentstufe 2 also erst spät. |
+| Items | 180–260 | Ein Item kostet etwa eine aufgewertete Truppe. |
+| Champions | 150/150/180, Leben ×2,2, Schaden ×1,6 der Söldnerwerte, Kopfgeld 70 + 6·r | Einmalige Welle etwa zum Preis von zwei Truppen. |
+| Grottenboss | 4.200 HP × Wellenstärke, 55 Schaden | Nur mit großer Expedition schaffbar (Szenarien unten). |
+| Entsandter Boss | 5.200 HP × Wellenstärke, 70 Schaden, Kopfgeld 520 + 60·r | Das Kopfgeld liegt deutlich über einem Turm (150–270) und über einem Monster (~10–30). |
+
+### Bot-Serie (12 Seeds, [sim-12-seeds.json](logs/m2/sim-12-seeds.json))
+
+- Alle 12 Partien enden regulär nach 7–10 Wellen (Blau 7, Rot 5), keine Kampfphase im Zeitfenster; die längste dauerte 128 s.
+- Bossversuche: 36 gescheitert, 11 erobert, 7 entsandt (die übrigen Partien endeten vorher).
+- **Befund:** Der Bossjäger-Bot versucht es in jeder Partie ab Runde 5, scheitert bis Runde 7 und siegt in Runde 8. Das Muster ist zu gleichförmig; der Bot schätzt seine Stärke nicht ein (M3).
+- Siegquote des Teams mit dem jeweiligen Profil: fernkampf 11/12, druck 9/12, teamhilfe 7/12, verteidigung 5/12, bossjagd 3/12, ausgewogen 1/12. **Vorsicht:** Jede Partie enthält jedes Profil genau einmal, und die Paare fernkampf/ausgewogen, druck/bossjagd und verteidigung/teamhilfe stehen immer in verschiedenen Teams. Die Zahlen sind daher nicht unabhängig; eine saubere Auswertung mit variierter Teamzusammensetzung folgt in M3.
+
+### Bossstrategie im direkten Vergleich ([boss_scenarios.gd](../../tools/luneraria/boss_scenarios.gd))
+
+Identischer Stand nach Runde 7, danach vier Runden mit gewöhnlichen Bots ohne Bossjagd. Wert = eingesetzter Armeewert (Blau / Rot). ΔHP und ΔGold jeweils Blau / Rot über die vier Runden.

+
+**Deutung:**
+- Eine gescheiterte kleine Expedition kostet wenig.
+- In der umkämpften Grotte reiben sich beide Expeditionen auf; kein Team erhält den Anspruch.
+- Eine erfolgreiche Eroberung zieht die Mid-Lane so weit ab, dass Blau dort beide Türme verliert. Der Boss richtet danach 20.000–33.000 HP Gebäudeschaden an, stirbt und bringt Rot 1.060 Gold.
+- Überinvestition kippt die Partie in beiden Seeds zu Rot, und auch die normale Eroberung verliert bei Seed 7.
+- Die Bossstrategie ist damit riskant und nicht dominant. Nach diesen Stichproben wiegt der Boss die geschwächte Lane eher zu wenig auf: ein Balancepunkt für M3 (z. B. mehr Bosswirkung oder schwächerer Grottenboss). Es gibt weder eine kostenlose Sofortrückkehr noch eine Doppelbelohnung (Tests); das Goldrisiko steht im Kopfgeld offen angekündigt.

+## 4 · Detailentscheidungen M2 (anpassbar, Werte in `scripts/luneraria/core/lune_content.gd`)
+
+| Thema | Entscheidung |
+| --- | --- |
+| Helden | Drei Helden aus vorhandenen Skelettmodellen, als **vorläufige Rollenzuordnung**: Ringborke (Front/Schutz), Quellgeflecht (Heilung), Funkenlanze (Fernkampf). Jeder Spieler kann einen aktiven Helden anwerben, unabhängig vom Bund, für 260 Gold. Damit ist ein Held frühestens ab Runde 2 erschwinglich. Ein Held aus derselben Planung lässt sich voll erstatten, danach bleibt er bis Partieende. |
+| Erfahrung | Nicht an den letzten Treffer gebunden. Jeder Held, der an einer Kampfphase teilnimmt, erhält 40 + 6 × Runde. Jeder gegnerische Tod im Umkreis von 12 m (Gebäude 14 m) wird zu gleichen Teilen auf alle Helden in der Nähe verteilt: Monster 12 + Runde, Champion 30 + 2 × Runde, Boss 220, Truppe/Held 15, Gebäude 60. So erhalten auch Heiler in der zweiten Reihe Erfahrung. Stufen 1–10, je Stufe +9 % Leben und +7 % Schaden. |
+| Talente | Auf Stufe 3 und 6 je eine endgültige Wahl zwischen zwei Richtungen: Eigen- gegen Gruppenschutz oder Einzelziel gegen Fläche, je Held eigene Optionen. |
+| Items | Sechs dauerhafte Items, drei Plätze. Jedes Item höchstens einmal pro Held. Kristallsplitter setzt Heldenstufe 3 voraus. Verkauf bringt 50 %, ein Kauf aus derselben Planung wird voll erstattet. Boni verschiedener Items addieren sich; die Schadensminderung ist auf 35 %, das Angriffstempo auf +50 % begrenzt. |
+| Reihenfolge im Kampf | Primärtreffer → Grundfähigkeit → Talent → Item-Effekt. Item- und Talenteffekte lösen keine weiteren Treffer-Effekte aus, Heilungen lösen nichts aus; dadurch sind Schleifen ausgeschlossen. Normale Truppen haben kein Inventar. |
+| Angriffschampions | Rostschieber (Schutz, 150 Gold), Dunstsänger (Druck auf Unterstützer, 150), Keilbrecher (Belagerung, ×2,5 gegen Gebäude, 180). Ein Kauf in Runde n wird für Runde n+1 auf eine Lane gebucht, höchstens zwei Buchungen pro Runde. Bis zum Ende der Planung lässt sich eine Buchung voll erstatten, danach ist sie weder verschiebbar noch erstattbar. Buchungen werden zu Beginn von n+1 öffentlich angekündigt. Der Champion kämpft einmal und verschwindet. Die Stärke skaliert mit der Einsatzrunde, das Kopfgeld beträgt 70 + 6 × Runde und wird wie Monstergold verteilt. |
+| Grotte · Zuweisung | Die Zuweisung „G“ gilt für genau eine Runde. Die Einheiten fehlen ihrer Lane die ganze Kampfphase, starten an festen, gespiegelten Grotteneingängen und kehren bei der Abrechnung auf die Lane ihres Besitzers zurück. In Sperrrunden ist die Zuweisung abgelehnt. |
+| Grotte · Kampf | Der neutrale Boss ruht, solange Expeditionen beider Teams leben; die Expeditionen kämpfen zuerst gegeneinander. Erst wenn höchstens ein Team übrig ist, erwacht der Boss mit vollen Lebenspunkten. Tod aller Expeditionen oder Ablauf des Zeitfensters: kein Anspruch. Der nächste Versuch trifft einen vollständig neuen Boss. Todesfälle in der Grotte bringen kein Gold. |
+| Anspruch | Genau ein Anspruch pro Sieg; ein wiederholtes Abrechnungssignal ändert nichts. Ziel-Lane: die Lane des beitragenden Spielers mit dem höchsten eingesetzten Armeewert in der Grotte (Held einschließlich Items); bei Gleichstand der niedrigere Slot. Dieser Spieler kann die Lane in der folgenden Planung ändern; ohne Eingabe gilt seine eigene Lane. |
+| Entsendung | Automatisch in der folgenden Runde, für das siegreiche Team, gegen den gegnerischen Ancient. Gebäudesperren gelten unverändert. Stärke und Kopfgeld (520 + 60 × Runde) richten sich nach der Einsatzrunde. Das Kopfgeld geht bei seinem Tod gleichmäßig an das verteidigende Team. Überlebt er, verschwindet er ohne Belohnung. |
+| Sperre | `next_available_round = Siegrunde + 4`. Beispiel: Sieg in Runde 6, Einsatz in Runde 7, gesperrt in 7–9, bekämpfbar ab Runde 10. Die Sperre hängt am Grottensieg, nicht am Tod des entsandten Bosses. |
