It's a bit overwhelming and confusing, especially if you're new. I learned by doing, more than I did by reading the guide (altough it was still helpful). Psychic reading is great, all the necessary info is there and I'd advise you to look at it as often as you can. You'll notice that there are two sides for each stat, for example your chosen may look like this:Okay, so after playing around with the systems for a bit, I can get a few more openings now, and do more damage, but it still feels like I'm just mashing buttons as I go. Keeping all the Chosen's weaknesses in mind at once is making my head spin, and I still don't know if "minor" vulnerabilities are the one to go for first, and the psychic reading screen is a tad confusing. Like, does the more lines they have on each stat mean they're weak to it? Still noobly confused, haven't broken any vulnerabilities yet, get shredded often lol.
FEAR --|----- HATE
DISG ----=|-- PLEA
PAIN ---|--- INJU
SHA |----- EXPO
The ammount of lines corresponds to the weakness of the chosens stat. You can see in the example above that this chosen is very weak to hate damage, but fairly resistant to fear. So the optimal way to increase hate would be to surround the chosen and select grind, since threaten won't be effective here. This is most easily done in our example by using slime, since this chosen is extremely weak to disgust (signified by the ammount of lines, even overflwowing into a '='-sign).
You'll also notice that the chosen is virtually immune to shame, but weak to exposure. Weakness to certain trauma (left category) means the chosen resist circumstance (right category) and vice versa. In the above example, our chosen is equally weak to both pain and injury i.e. 50-50. It's surprisingly easy if we think of it as a scale.
As stated by many previous posts, the fastest way to get surrounds are with pain and disgust damage, since they don't require other chosen in to be exposed or surrounded to allow us to surround our chosen and fortunately our chosen is fairly weak to both, meaning this chosen should be easy to deal with first.
