Thought I'd try to create a post separate from the one for getting tokens. Apologies if it seems like a repetition, please deal with as is seen fit...
So, I'm struggling to grasp how Knife and Candle works.
What I thought: You choose a form. You attack someone (just out of curiousity, if you've chosen an aggressive form, why would you use anything other than the savage attack, for example? I'm suspecting this is a clue towards me missing something.). If they have a higher level of that stat (e.g. Savage), they win. If they have lower, you win. If you have equal, it's 50:50.
But it's clearly not that, which is probably good, as that's too simple. (It's clearly not that, as in an attempt to work out how it works, I attacked my alt with a lower savage than me, using a savage attack, and still lost. Admittedly the difference between stats is only 2 points, but it shows it's not a clear cut higher/lower thing.)
So ... how does it work? Instead of enjoying cunning and planning, I'm baffled, as I don't know the mechanisms by which I should be plotting. My win/lose rate went from winning all my attacks, most of my being attacked to winning about 1 in 5. From hovering at around 20 tokens, bronze and saving up win tokens for a knife, I'm teetering on being kicked out. (Not a complaint, an observation.) Is this a result of being exceedingly lucky at the beginning, or has the mechanism changes?
