Less than an hour to go. I highly recommend you get a pair of D12's ready to go(physical or virtual) along with having your character sheet and other pertinent information available for you to reference. So note your Class features, including Hope Feature, as well as your Subclass Foundation perks. Just some interesting ones to note...

Caspian has a Longbow that gives some insane combat range. As a result their Hope Feature can come in quite handy given you can hit two additional targets that are within range of the attack. It's pricey but something to consider. Your Subclass perk also can yield you an additional damage die to use on damage rolls at the cost of one Stress. If that yields Severe damage on the target, then you will force them to mark a Stress and two Stress if they are already your "Focus".

For Zero, be sure to utilize your Prayer Dice from your Class feature. Cannot stress that enough as it replenishes at the start of each session. Also note that your Subclass permits your Hallowed Axe to hit a target at Close range(up to 6 squares from you) and return to your hand. You can also mark a stress to hit an additional target within range.

For Hades and Cipher, your Hope Feature is a solid emergency Evasion source but you need 3 Hope to use it. Also be aware of your Subclass perk that enables you to sneak around via the Shadows undetected. You can use an Ally's shadow to disappear and reappear at another location emitting a shadow so keep that in mind as it'll allow you to basically teleport via shadow.

As for me, I got a basic form of detect magic that will unlikely see use. Can also do Minor Illusions that can convince the weak minded and I can channel my power to generate additional Hope in a pinch, the latter of which I should use as needed since it's once per Long rest. My Hope Feature isn't worth using right now. Maybe when I have 6 dice I can roll but not with just 1.

Oh and be aware of what your Trait modifiers are. GM will have you roll action rolls that may utilize a specific trait. You apply your trait modifier to that roll. If you pay the Hope cost and invoke an Experience, that too is added.
