Trouble around PA(heat) 16

[Madmanx]

i'm easily winning around PA 9, but i can't even get to the temple of Styx on heat level 16, any advice here on which heat modifications is easier to work around

I would start at getting used to Extreme Measures, Forced Overtime, Benefits Package as those provide a lot of heat and are basically mandatory for high heat runs. Then gradually add more one at a time.

If I don't write all names, it's because I use a localisation and it's partwise translated away from english.

-25% healing , +60% enemies , +15% health on enemies, +2 perks for Enemies, Middle management, Routine Inspection ones, and Approval process ones, that equals 16 Heat.
I like getting more enemies, as that often results in more coins. With a fully unlocked mirror you'll loose the possibility to switch the results on Boons or Well or at Rooms, that's fine as well and it lowers and removes the Extra Chance for Higher boons. To loose 1 choice of Boon can be fine as well with Approval Proccess.

I've added a screenshot of my choices for my now upcoming 20 heat run with Varatha and the aspect of Guan-Yu. That might help.

Also on something like 32 heat you're better off with stubborn defiance, at least in my experience.

So that's my result, if you need any advice on my approach or what boon's I've had let me know.

Just as a sidenote. I prefer to have a cast that recharges every 3 seconds. I just seem to have missed to change that on the mirror before I went for my attempt.

Yo i did it, next statue at 32 o god ^^

yeah it's rough, you will have to carefully pick heat setup for each weapon and adjust it to your preference. I highly suggest Stubborn Defiance for 32 runs
