Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 7
Knightmare leans harder on execution: Dodging dense projectile patterns rewards perfect movement
Reads0 vs 1
Ruiner leans harder on reads: Enemy waves are fixed patterns.
Variance1 vs 2
Ruiner leans harder on variance: First-run unknowns in arena compositions.
Optimization5 vs 5
