I’m not sure how valuable these are, given how when you inevitably max out your level and have the best equipment and .moar files, high defense and one-shotting and two-shotting threads make these changes rather pointless. This might be a case of “balance first, program afterwards”.

Case in point: The only real current strategic element is how Emo Kids’ attacks go up in strength as their Ego gets lower. But I haven’t been able to take advantage of that, because, without buying ANY Defense upgrades, my Defense is 68. And my current tattoo doesn’t even give a defense boost. So I’m not getting hit, and therefore can’t take advantage of the higher attacks.
