Anyone know what stats you should go for If you want to lose to linus
Once again, if you're corrupted enough, you could just do the bug that I found- aka pressing Surrender, then "No". In such case, what would matter is not having high agility (if I'm correct, it has influence on how likely you are to dodge an attack) and endurance (how much hp you have, or perhaps how much dmg attacks will deal-idk, I am not the devs lol) so Linus have a much easier time killing you. Try getting intelligence anytimes you can as well.
If you're trying to do it while not being corrupted, good luck honestly, as your dmg combined with your companion's one will, most of the time, struck Linus down rather quickly. Tho I guess you should go with intelligence whenever you can, and perhaps- and weirdly- endurance, since a lots of strength/agility will really make you superior against Linus (improve dmg dealt/dodge chance, respectively) while a hp buff or dmg reduction wouldnt be thaaat bad compared to agility having a chance to negate full dmg.
In either cases, best is to go with the lowest stats possible- and there is opportunities for that! For exemple, in Max and Ray routes, when they do some training before going to the Akai tree, you have the choice to train with one of them: choose the character of your route, like if you're on Max's route, train with Max and while you'll improve your friendship with him, you won't gain any stats from it. On the opposite, choosing Ray when you're on Max route will result in a +2 Agility. On another exemple, in Max route, there is multiples opportunities to join Max's training sessions: decline them, as they are mostly free stats points- that you won't get if you don't tag in!
So, in a nutshell (and in case my english is awful): Go for intelligence whenever you can, make choices that increase relationships/corruption and not stats, keep the lowest agility possible and try using the bug I mentionned (in such case, go for strength since it won't matter, and try not getting a high endurance)
While I could experience all of it during previous playthroughs, I still require some further testing to give you an anwser that would be 100% accurate- I still hope it'll help ya :P
