The game’s interface helps communicate probabilities clearly, letting players preview their odds before committing, which encourages calculated risk-taking instead of random guessing.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
If you replay the adventure with a team comp and loadout to deal specifically with her, she might not be so bad, but this is a pretty steep waste of time in a game that has otherwise let you create your party and play with non-insane amounts of optimization.
