Viewing post in Another question, is it possible to do a full-pink option playthrough?

I feel like I understand the games combat well enough to play well, it's just that enemies are so beyond overtuned you need really good rng even with the right strategy, party members get one shot, or you need to use star knightess against anything remotely threatening unless you continually stall progress in favour of upgrades in order to stat-check enemies. Normal mode feels a bit easy, while hard just feels like luck.

The part that confuses me is that every time I've gotten low on willpower and used a trait to perform a pink scene, my willpower has almost full restored. More than a potion would counteract. I just tried and it restored 30, while the potion reduces WP by 20. Is this a hard mode thing or something?

I'm guessing this is due to Womb of Lust, which resets when you do a H-scene or use a Blessed Water, giving you back the WL it was suppressing. In that case, it's why I said you should not be affected by WoL when you start a pink H-scene chain with hydrangeas. If you got 10 more willpower than you expected, it's probably 2 days' worth of WoL. You can check it in the menu under Skill -> Curses.

As for the difficulty, this is a situation where the dev balances the game for Normal and doesn't really test Hard afaik. No shame in playing on Normal.

How do I not be affected?

You can use a Blessed Water before you fight the hydrangeas, or do another H-scene (if you don't mind not doing the pink version). Maybe the guard underwear one, which doesn't yield useful stats anyway iirc.

I'll give that a try. Thanks a lot. Might have to settle for normal too lol.
