When I play Filch I'm constantly using Energy Rush. Especially using the dagger against roaches that are lower on the initiative track. Not only do I usually gain the two cheese I spent on Energy Rush back by killing both roaches, which happens most of the time, I sometimes end up with another from dice. And since the roaches cannot defend when they are lower on the initiative track, there's no threat of cheese going on the cheese wheel. He's so powerful against roaches.The speed at which Filch and Nez kill minions, especially when Nez uses Battlesqueak and Collin attacking and then using Give Order, it allows Tilda to search regularly. We also kind of delay to make sure at least 2 mice successfully search on a tile.
I find the combat to be interesting enough. The dice can be fickle and really prevent a good round of combat. Or make you so successful that the game feels too easy. I've played chapter one 3 times. Once by myself, once with my wife, and another time with my wife and friends. Each time we were successful. I'm sure I'll start failing in later chapters, but for now even with how easy it has been, I've found combat to be fun. And my non-gamer wife and friends find it entertaining, too. And I'm sure it is because it is more on the simple side.
