Encounters fully fixed
Nier: Automata
Loot drops and chip rolls add minor randomness to builds
Optimization6 vs 6
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights
Spirit loadouts, upgrades, and pattern learning
Nier: Automata
Chip loadout, weapon choice, and attack routing reward systematic planning
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
