This is how a micro-transaction game should work. Very fun game, can play it endlessly, and if I wanted to I could buy some goods and get some benefit.
These updates are starting to make things worse. It was bad enough relying the random weapons and items for my stats, but nerfing my only avenue for consistent power (hoping for 5 attack pick ups in a single map)
OK, so the best strategy in this game is simple. You take Last Flake, pump her regeneration and health as much as possible, and then no enemy (including the last boss) can get her even close to death. You can do the same thing with the head hunter, but Last Flake is a little better. I did well over 2000 damage with her alone in the final battle.
