[BETA] The Boot and Intangible
I don't really believe this is a bug, but this would at least be handy to know for when you get to the late game. With that addition of the new relic "The Boot", when I first got it, I thought "How would this work with Intangible though? Will The Boot do 5 damage or will Intangible force 1 damage?"

After a few runs I have finally gotten The Boot and ran into Nemesis (The green reaper like enemy) who has Intangible every other turn, so I was finally able to put this "theory" to rest.


Now just for referance, here are the 2 effects:


The Boot: Whenever you would deal 4 or less unblocked Attack damage, increase it to 5.

Intangible: Reduce ALL damage taken and HP loss to 1 this turn.


So, since Intangible is a passive power, you'd think that no matter what it would take priority and overwrite the effect of The Boot right? But turns out I was wrong. If you attack an enemy that has Intangible while you have The Boot, all your attacks will be dealing 5 damage instead of 1, so The Boot is a direct counter to Intangible and from what I can tell is working as intended.


(I had to clear this up seeing as there are a lot of wording problems with the game and this was kind of one of those cases, seeing as it was unclear what would take priority over what, but from this it would seem relics always take priority no matter the situation).

Lemme explain.

Nemesis is the Silent from the future who has a crush on the Defect, so when she gets booted by his relic, she gets all doki doki and can't handle it.

I'm 100% confident in this theory.
