Darkest Dungeon
A trainer only offers infinite health, zero stress, and free gold; turn-based combat has nothing to execute. The skill is reading crit and affliction rolls on a hamlet budget too thin for a bad run.
Where it sits
How strongly Darkest Dungeon leans on each of the three dimensions.
micro
LowExecution is barely a factor in Darkest Dungeon: a tool that played your inputs perfectly would gain you almost nothing here.
meso
HighReading is central to Darkest Dungeon: you win by out-thinking the other side and riding the randomness. What would break it is seeing what you shouldn't, the way stream-sniping or perfect information does.
macro
HighStrategy carries Darkest Dungeon: routing, resource management, and optimal decisions decide the outcome. What would break it is a perfect coach or engine calling the best move.
