(Version 0.90) So... After playing a lot... Like really, a lot, and grinding for a helluva lot on a run, I can give a couple of tips, since I played, no, I didn't cheat or try to put any stats on my build, I leveled up a lot, since I focused on first of all grinding the XP tree since I consider it the most valuable one...
This are some tips for those that want to play the game "fair and square" as much as the game allows you to do so...
- First of all, get at least 9 points at your start in Attack...
- Second, get Agility leveled up quickly as your secondary important stat and don't ever forget about putting points in CON, this stat while at the beginning seems worthless, is good if you invest on it, specially later on (when fighting 3 star map enemies)...
- Third, don't go to work in the city/brothel unless you have a lot of HP, or less than 5 points in the respective Addiction/fetish you're going for, since it's a noob trap, once you have like 300 points of HP then you can use it to get money, go to church and lower your addictions...
- Most valuable starting buff/Perk: Alchemist, it's simply God tier to be able to get a lot of HP/Lust just by killing 2 enemies and rinse and repeat (It's classic from HC 1 so while it's pretty god I'd suggest that dev doesn't really touch it)...
Personal take - Pick the shemale preference debuff/perk because there aren't many in the game, and you get +3 points to get a buff (Dev would need to put like 5 for it to be less considerable)...
- Don't ever go to sleep without fighting 2 enemies and getting to the labs for a potion buff or lowering your current addictions (blue pot), since it reduces 3 points in every addiction you have, especially during early game...
- Buy Backpack ASAP, it comes with 1 pot of each (green for stamina, pink for lust, and orange for hp), it can really help you early on to power through bosses...
- Don't over spend on getting lust/HP pots from the shop, if you fight enemies, you can get enough stats to lvl up your attack and other stats, but do consider spending it on consumable pots while fighting...
- Under no condition allow yourself to gain Corruption, it really messes up with your build and with fights, if you just want to already lose then sure, buuut, otherwise if you want to grind fame, it's going to F up your build one way or another...
- Don't focus on Queen's Favor system... It's quite useless since you depend a lot on RNG, and to farm it you'll really need to be at late game capacity to fully power through the game, or to have a lot of investment put in to fully take advantage of it (since starting a run, getting to the city and your valuable quest being defeating enemies at the Jungle, or Swamp, or making 2 side jobs is actually not worth it), and the Queen Strength (5 points Queen's Favor) isn't really that worth it, by the time you can buy from her shop, you're already able to break the game with your own stats, it gives you +2 on each stat but it's mediocre, at least personally, it'd be better if it improved your stats permanently for every run, or it costed less, let's say 2 - 3 Queen's Favor, yet it'd still need some tweaks because if you're just starting, it can't ask you to beat 5 girls from 3 star areas or higher...
- To beat the Fairy (in the magical case it appears to you), quickly open your notebook and cheese through it...
- Early on, to not lose 2 hours from going to the city, consider going at night, say 19 - 21 hour to the city, so you don't lose 2 hours...
I'll also add my current stats for those that are wondering...
What I'd like added...? Less grind for Fame, more gold income from fighting enemies, more events, LOWER the 1k fame requirement to enter the tower (I currently on this build have 1.2k as you can see), but the required amount is excessive, 500 is enough, I know the dev added it so highly so not everyone could get there, but it's just a boss rush with no new enemies that I remember, compared to HC 1...
Edit: So apparently, if you can buy Queen's Favor 3 times, you get a perk named "Fortune" this increases the Loot Drop Rate of everything to 100% for 1 day...
2nd Edit: Caroline (jungle enemy) scales infinitely with your CON stat, she starts at 35 and per each time you beat her, she gets 1 more point, infinitely so it sucks...
