To satiate the hunger for humorous balance.
Genuinely though I did wonder why some mod makers absolutely CRANK the numbers up on ""re-balances"" and call it a day as if they didn't just add two lines of text that makes the base game look like that one meek hamster image.

Real talk, this collection solely includes what I find to be a collectively acceptable re-balance of base Ruina with a teency bit of shenanigans here and there. Overall, everything is meant to be used together with finesse faithful to the base game.

Contains quality of life, fixes, and most importantly: no cheats. NoGrind is still cheating in my book but for whom's shelves hold the pages, NoGrind is best to experience the story but consequentially not the inherit trial-and-error difficultly.
AllSymbols or whatever literally instantly grants you an absurdly hard to get achievement AND can be cheating if you really wanna be a stick up the cockledoodledoo about it.

About retained Counter Die: In practice, counter dice are retained for both the player and the enemy, AKA just all units. Fair is fair right? I'd say so anyway. However, there are a few caveats of having a retained counter die within a scene, that being that it can be deflected or evaded, maybe resulting in a not-so-favorable outcome with emotional coins, or maybe even favorable! Kim has always had the drawback of losing a clash with a moderate-to-high rolling die meaning your nugget is potentially taking quite a bit of damage, so why not make TCTB more viable? Hell, why not make Yujin's counter block and The Red Mist's slash counter passives more lore accurate at that? Not so much Yujin but having a retained counter die makes her a bit less of what you should probably use as an OP glass cannon build type by just a smidge. In the end, it's just an all around fun balancing scenario come to life which fits perfectly in this collection.

A certain (or two) mods in this collection entirely include easy to get passives, Key Pages, and otherwise that're entirely either just Passive Contribution fodder or a sprinkle of spice to your game.

All other reworks below are self-explanatory and contain major spoilers if you read into them. It is best to experience this collection blindly.
