Operational Strategy & Sanity Scaling
In high-intensity engagements, The One Who Grips Faust relies on the Sanity (SP) progression framework. At neutral baseline SP, skills flip Heads at 50% probability, but as clashes resolve and Sanity elevates to the maximum +45 threshold, Heads flip certainty surges to 95%. This guarantees reliable clash dominance across all multi-coin attack sequences.
When assigning combat deployment priority, placing The One Who Grips Faust into Slot 1 or Slot 2 grants immediate action slot expansion on subsequent turns. In boss abnormality encounters, early slots generate secondary skill choices, accelerating Sin resource generation and maximizing status count maintenance before countdown resets.
