Cunning isn't about being deceitful. It's about:
- Adapting to change
- Communicating persuasively
- Staying one step ahead
- Keeping your true intentions hidden
The moment your enemy underestimates you is the moment you win. 🏆

Want to master cunning? Here are the rules I learned fighting gods, monsters, and men:
- ALWAYS have a plan
- ALWAYS have a backup plan
- ANTICIPATE before your enemy can act
Remember the Trojan Horse? That wasn't brute force. That was pure strategy. 🐎

What is cunning? It's more than a skill. It's an attitude.
- Flexible
- Resourceful
- Inventive
- Always one step ahead
I didn't survive the Trojan War and 10 years of wandering by being the strongest. I survived by being the smartest. 🧠

Ever wondered how to survive when the world throws everything at you? 🏹
Let me tell you about the most powerful weapon in any hero's arsenal: CUNNING.
Not strength. Not courage. But pure, strategic intelligence.
