Thank you so much for such detailed feedback! I genuinely appreciate how deeply you're diving into the game and exploring its mechanics. It's incredibly motivating as a developer to see that!
Your post actually inspired me to make some changes to Steven, along with a few other improvements. I admittedly eyeballed the balancing a bit for now, but I figured it was better to get something fun into your hands sooner rather than later! I'll crunch the numbers more carefully in a larger balancing update covering all the Rogues.
Feedback like yours really helps shape the game, so thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts!
