Edge is the one at 8EE, Prayer is at 15 currently and is set to three different damage types currently as her default.What's her cost, 8EE/70 Disgrace? At that level I usually focus on a single damage type.
As for getting Distortions right, yeah, it's a lot, don't worry too much about it, but here's some first principles:
1) Every Forsaken can be good at one of these:
a) dealing damage, with some kind of self-buff to one or two damage stats. Great! Line that up with a Distortion that breaks one/both of those damage types. If Stigma were an advanced species, she would be great for this--you could set her up for Negotiation to get a buff to her DISG/INJU damage, convert her in the final battle, leave her Disgrace low for a few loops to maximize her self-buff, and eventually lower her cost to something reasonable like 12 or so by pumping Disgrace. Note that no base species Forsaken are good enough to fill this role for long. You want to stack buffs from b)-type Forsaken on these girls.
b) giving other converted Forsaken buffs, like Prayer here. You want to convert these with Aversion or Negotiation to keep their Disgrace low forever. You don't worry about their damage types, they don't exist for you until the Chosen are ready for that T4 break. The more costly they are the better.
c) If they're not type a) or b), they're garbage. Maybe you use them in a temporary capacity until you see a good candidate because your roster is shallow at the beginning and you just want someone that does better INJU damage. Maybe you have them put on Grand Concerts until they're all used up, then throw them in the Pit and they never actually see combat. Maybe you keep them around in case Splendor wants you to set someone free.
2) You need Forsaken that can deal each type of damage, even if they're not very good at it. Eventually Resistance is going to destroy your Commanders' ability to reliably get breaks.
If you look back in this thread, I've made a couple of longplays where I show off my process for fitting Forsaken into their role. I like providing feedback on high-level play. Sadly I don't think I'm going to be able to devote that kind of time to this release, so someone needs to be testing out the Angels.
So should I still focus her on a single damage type?
