@Karmic Justice Yeah, tbh. I like using Pivot too just because it cost 0 patience + it does well with Xid deck. It's not worth ranking up Corsac that high most of the time though. If you're already that high with Saffron just max her out to get Tranquility to completely let go the need of shield.

I am of the opinion that if your haggle sessions go longer than 5 sold potions, the stacking effect of "Regulated Breathing" basically invalidates any need for cards that grant you shield. Since the stress reduction happens before you draw cards, you will often begin each turn with "most" customer-induced stress wiped clean away, and no risk of stress cards. Best used in conjunction with Rhythm/Chorus/Improv decks.

@oeso0621 Oh I'll fix it right away thank you!

I checked it again, and Sleight of Hand masks all bad traits, not one.

@oeso0621 Oh! I actually know about this but I wasn't sure if it's a common information or not. Thank you for all the tips!

I found out that interest-over-turn card's effect triggers before patience reduction when you end the turn. If their interest level maxes out by the debuff from those cards, then even if ending turn makes patience less then zero, they will take the potion.

@oeso0621 Yeahhh there's definitely some balancing issues. I only ever get to use Luna centered deck once in my first play through for FInn because I was struggling BADLY. I mean I won because of it but it's not really reliable when all you draw is stress card afterwards. Not to mention you have to deal with high stress for the next day.

Yeah Saffron and Xid just has some of best cards in the entire game no doubt. Combine Rhythm and Chorus with any draws cards is almost automatic win unless you're very unlucky or high stress.

And all of the interest-over-turn cards are not recommended. Opening Act might have uses because it prevents customers from shielding themselves, and gives cost reduction, but others.... JUST DONT. Dealing interest now is always better.

And all of the stress scaling cards from Luna is just... NOPE. There is no way to deal with penalties reliably.

To be honest, Saffron's Rank 9 should be "Search a card from your deck, and draw it. Stress must be below 5% to play this card. Cost 2"
And Luna's Caffeine Rush should be "Draw 5 cards. All stress cards drawn by this card discarded without triggering its effect. Must be over or equal to 20% stress to play this card. Cost 2."

Saffron still has one of the most powerful drawing card with heavy restriction, And Luna has one of the best high risk high return card, Not only her decks are more reliable, but also due to how stress works in the game, 5 draw only happens when you are lucky, mostly, you will draw 4 or 3.

@oeso0621 Oh the Saffron one sound hilarious! I didn't get to use it since I went into the final with 12% stress and wasn't taking the risk lol. Yeah the fuel to the fire I think they acknowledge the bug in the patch so it might get fixed soon??
