When the enemy acts, you'll lose your stacks. Save Robin's Ultimate for when your turn is about to end so that your characters can act again and delay the enemy's turn. You can also use the Uproot the Cause codex when it has enough energy.

Take Down Boss Summons Quickly

When Svarog summons his Auxiliary Robot Arms, be sure to defeat them before they act so that they don't interrupt your Ready for Battle stacks.
