Strategy
- → Grants a new ability to the Nightstar (heavier mace-style strike)
- → Wiki currently lists the upgrade name but reuses the base weapon's description; the exact new ability granted is not yet specified in public sources
- → [uncertain]
- → The beginner-friendliest mindset, repeated across the PlayStation Blog launch post, JEU.VIDEO's prep guide, and Enjoy4Game's spoiler-light primer, is to slow down: observe, adjust, then move forward
- → Every death should improve your next decision rather than trigger a panicked build rewrite (PlayStation Blog / JEU.VIDEO / Enjoy4Game)
- → Your first decision is the starting weapon
