You generally want to wait as long as possible to stockpile gold and character levels, while not going low enough to place yourself at risk of being overwhelmed next level and get a Game Over from reaching 0 order.Hey guys, just got a question. Is there any point to not wait until the final day before order decay gets increased just to gather as much money as possible before killing the boss of the floor? In general, when should one try to kill the boss of a floor? How long should you wait?
Generally, that sweetspot is around ~30 order. The start of each level, problem edicts get automatically enacted which significantly decrease control, which will take you several days and a good stash of gold to compensate for with expensive control edicts.
The lower your order is, the stronger enemies are as well (to the point of them being impossible to defeat), so hovering just slightly above 0 order is a slippery slope.
If you get frustrated, I recommend doing Secretary mode for your first run. Play Prisoner if you want to lose (that hopelessness fantasy).
