Notes/advice

Strengths:

• This outfit is focused entirely on survivability at which it is extremly good. It buffs potion and berry efficiency and speed as well as low health survivability. Also it provides a 2/3 chance to survive an otherwise fatal blow.
• Requires mostly brainstems and brimshine to upgrade which are very easy to accuire.

Weaknesses:

• While being helpfull if the fight goes bad it provides zero help if the fight goes well (no help to actually shorten the fight).
• Plasma weakness is very dangerous on ultra hard difficulty as there are several attacks (form apex-slaughterspines) that oneshot aloy even with 800 HP.
• While second chance might be a live saver there is always a 1/3 chance for it to have no effect.
