So I think it's a really powerful tool. I think it's really cool. And it's a fun, I've been using it in my Wednesday game and I've had good success and I've gotten good feedback from my players that they don't feel like they're this complete arbitrary cheat card and instead are interesting ways for the characters to face these big monsters that they're facing.

And then finally, you can just stick to good old Legendary Resistance. The 2025 Monster Manual didn't do anything, didn't really change Legendary Resistance at all. And if they're working fine for you, they're working. You don't necessarily have to try any of this other stuff.
