Aiight I'm confused. I've been playing since the first demo and have always done STR, DEX, and STA builds for virgin runs. Which is easy to pull off on normal difficulty but with hard I always struggle managing finances and control and fatigue.
But everyone seems to be saying WIL and AGI are the most important? I haven't noticed any benefit to a willpower build as you always get to use at least one willpower ability each turn - so what am I missing here? And with AGI you get destroyed by thugs and the like when you do get hit because you've diminished your STA development by not getting hit enough. That and if you act first and you get back up before thugs just knock you right back down again that very turn and essentially get stun locked too the ground.
So what exactly am I missing here?
The higher your Mind stat, the more powerful your Willpower Skill become. So if you use Ki, you will deal more Damage, your lower Desires do more etc. Thugs should never be a Problem in a run. 1st Floor you can avoid them, until you have leveld up enough, that they should never even hit you with enough Agi and on the 2nd Floor you should not fight them, until you have used the Problem Edict, that lowers their Stats by 25%. With that, they should never be problem anymore. And as someone said, if you have problems, just do New Game+. But once you get it, how a run works in Prisoner Mode, you can also do it easily on a fresh save no Problem.
