So my skills have gotten a bit better once the game hinted at me to aim with both hands, which helps the scout class with submachine guns (and pistol). I had a fire charm which taught me this more directly than a loading screen hint.
Unfortunately, you don't keep that if you die (it was the shot that I missed) though my magic wand helped create that opening in the 2nd enemy (which I do keep). I am the default rifleman class in vid (a nice surprise to see this and swordsman language and no pressure for gender-neutral terms unlike with x-men).
I also learned that teleport will highlight bear traps as well, so it is very important to get used to that between searching and traversing heights. I dunno how many overall runs I'll do with this game as it would be nice if I didn't have to play this as long as demeo to save (ie a whole run), but I am glad I'm much better now than when I almost rage quit. I have no idea why my UI for health and ammo on my hand randomly appeared here.
