Your 3-star carry should be online and dealing massive damage. Focus on adding your remaining high-cost units and finding optimal positioning against the remaining players. Scout remaining players and position to counter their carries.
This is a high economy investment that requires disciplined gold management during your reroll phase. Slow roll above 50 gold until you hit your 3-star targets.
