Is there any way (through stats, skills, items, or other means) to prevent yourself from getting double-teamed by two characters at the same time since that always leads to getting insta-killed, or should you just run away whenever there's more than one character in a room rather than risk taking a gamble and trying to fight a character with the possibility of interference? Also, if you gain affection with characters are they more likely to help you if there's more than one character in a room and less likely to double-team insta-kill you?
Honestly, I would like to find out how to prevent the whole insta-kill thing from happening (when two characters attack you at the same time you instantly lose, no battle takes place) since it's killing my vibe for this game.
