Enemies teach draft pressure

Enemy pages are useful before the full data table is complete because they explain pressure. Some encounters test front-loaded damage, some test block density, some punish slow setup, and some expose decks that cannot handle debuffs or awkward draws.

Record the turn where the enemy first threatens the run.
Link dangerous encounter patterns to card-pick priorities.
Separate normal fights, elites, boss-like encounters, and final bosses.

Risk profiles make enemy notes useful early

Before exact enemy tables are finished, every enemy note should still answer one practical question: what does this fight punish? A fight can punish low damage, thin block, slow setup, status clutter, bad draw, or overconfident routing. Those risk labels help readers draft better even before the database is complete.

FAQ

Why build an enemies page before full enemy data?

The page can start as a risk framework, then absorb exact enemy data as it is verified.

What should I look for in enemy footage?

Look for the first dangerous turn, what the enemy punishes, and what kind of card, relic, potion, or route choice would have made the fight safer.
