Build narrative tension through phases:

Step 1: Opening Assessment
What is the initial state? First impressions, opening moves, initial confidence?

Step 2: Complication Introduction
What changes the dynamic? Reinforcements, revealed abilities, environmental shifts?

Step 3: Stakes Raise
What makes this personal or desperate? What is now at risk that was not before?

Step 4: Turning Point
What could swing the battle decisively? What heroic or desperate action is possible?

Step 5: Climactic Moment
Describe the peak of tension. What decision matters most right now?

Step 6: Resolution Setup
Whether victory or defeat looms, what makes the ending memorable?

Final Output: Narrative beats for each round that build dramatic tension.
