game is hard as hell. i can't figure out how to get another ally also, so i can never get rid of her +25/+25 card which is coming up every other turn in battle, when that card is out i can't do a fucking thing man
you are actually incentivized to DIE as fast as possible to keep her from accumulating work and glory, which means the +influence upgrade is always worthless. the +influence random events are just absolutely killing me. i HAVE to farm the blackmail event to burn her glory after each battle and yet the random +influence events just buff my health... which means the next fight drags on longer and she builds up more work/glory, completely negating the blackmail event.
also the path where you change her outfits to something more slutty, that just straight up BUFFS her card, it went from 10/10 to 20/20 to 25/25. her 'work' is busted, is there even a way to reduce it? you can spend a long time in the fight and barely lose, but all the time she is building up work and you get hit with a massive nuke in the form of her work being converted to glory. it doesn't reflect how close the battle was, only how long it took. the longer the battle, the more you are damaged.
i think maybe there is a way to go all-out and nuke her down with -influence cards but i don't know.
