Halls of TormentMoonlighter
Axis by axis
Execution4 vs 4
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance5 vs 4
Halls of Torment leans harder on variance: Drops and trait rolls shape builds.
Optimization8 vs 7
Halls of Torment leans harder on optimization: Stat stacking and trait synergies reward solving.
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
