The various save files I have tells a story...

My latest one was done on PROTOCOL 4 and GOOD GRIEF the rng hated me so badly. I had to reset that run in hopes that it'd show mercy but no, it still gave me that One Enemy I don't even know the name of in the first boss chamber where its weapons are fans and good lord do I hate it. First run and it keeps doing that Reverberation effect on MY LUOCHA, MY LIFE LINE. And once it summons its minions it's practically a done deal. I'm dead.

Next reset and I luckily got an Elation x Remembrance equation that I activated before the boss so it was completely frozen and THANKFULLY ENOUGH my Ratio and Moze was enough to kill it faster than it can thaw itself. I wanted to also try to get the lil advancement of doing 6 or fewer battles along the way to finishing Protocol 4 but rng says NOPE ANYWAY!

I keep going for Occurrence domains so I barely have any blessings orz... And rng keeps giving me Occurrences with battles in it SO WHAT'S THE POINT GOODNESS ME. You may also be thinking, hey, Aria, how is it that all your equations are catered to follow-up but Argenti is in there? RNG. It hates my entire existence.

The last boss was Argenti. head in hands... I had to restart that challenge so much... it was so painful... all my equations and blessings were catered specifically for follow-up and RNG GIVES ME THE ENEMY OF ERUDITION??? THE KING OF ENEMY SUMMONS??? WHERE THE ENEMIES' WEAKNESS IS PHYSICAL??? ARE YOU SERIOUS--

Whenever I'm faced with Bossgenti I gotta put my own Argenti in the team otherwise I'm capital F Fucked. I was still fucked in this battle cuz it's such a bad mismatch of my wrecked team and equations and blessings and oh staaaaaarrrsss I'm o<-< I'm just so glad I managed to beat Protocol 4 after the absolute agony from rng.
