Purple Tear playing 4D chess, giving us her keypage so it could trash the Ensemble solo.
0:00 - Setup
Initially planned to go with Guts, but Argalia's bulletproof vest turns out to be invaluable in negating Philip's strongest attack and Eileen entirely. Health Hauler technically isn't mandatory, but I'd have to survive until EL5 before swapping stances or I'd kill myself on bleed.
00:41 - Philip, Eileen, Greta, Bremen
Fuck everything about this phase. From having to generate enough negative emotion coins to praying that everyone cooperates and uses their weakest attacks while I highroll evade, there's too much RNG for me to consider using anything but a guaranteed victory strat, thus the permanent stealth with self-bleed. 10 bleed and 4 offensive dice drain 26 HP, which is exactly 25% of 104. From there it's simply sustaining the light and card costs, with an emergency Ominous in the event I use EGO.
11:21 - Oswald, Tanya, Puppeteer
And now for what's truly broken about the strat: Claws of Savagery will trigger on the first scene if the conditions were fulfilled on the last scene of the previous act. Thus, I spend the entirety of the act in stealth. Unstealthing for even a scene would have Puppeteer reduce my maximum hand size by 2 (the curiosity nerf) and another scene while any of the circus animals are alive would instantly kill Gebura. I derped and forgot that Oswald can't take more than 50% max HP a turn, but that's why I keep Ominous Power around.
17:51 - Elena, Pluto, Argalia
I think Unjust Contract - Defense is bugged here? When I got lucky and almost beat the reception with a crappy strategy, it never discarded from my hand nor gave me protection, which lost me that run.
