When to use Steel Block
Solve one problem
Choose Steel Block when its effect fixes a real weakness in your current style or team role.
Trigger on purpose
Do not activate the ability just because it is available. Use it inside the rally phase where it creates value.
Build around it
Pair it with styles that already want the same court job instead of forcing a mismatched playstyle.

Better habit
What to practice
