While I agree on several points I think others are problematic if viewed as guidelines

If you don't want to boost your runners as they are getting killed all the time you might not be using them to their full potential. On several maps there is a sweet spot where you want to have vision by putting a runner fairly close to the opponent but he can just kill it with one of his runners. If instead you boost the runner you force him overcommit with other units if he wants to kill it and you can trade favorably.

* Do attack a Base with a non-adjacent Runner if the Base is at 3HP or less.

* Don't attack until victory is certain.

I would summarize it as just don't attack the base until victory is certain, unless you are Adorables and might be able to do a sneaky sniper attack later on!
