very good puzzle

I really like this one for the easy category. straightforward, and yet it doesn't start with a check; ra8+ teaches players how to best protect their king while seizing opportunities to strike. great pawn situation on e6 too, I really like how the bishop comes into play to pin the king.

2/5 difficulty
4/5 aesthetics!

Fun one,

Confusing hint though, I took "Hit, hide, and hit again" to mean that I had to look for a check on move 1
