The fifth book in the series is as epic as they come, with plenty of heart wrenching moments to be had. But amidst all the humor, danger, and tragedy going on, getting a high attunement score has never been easier.
Shortly after the story begins, your stats become meters. Your goal is to fill each of them up by selecting the choices that reflect that particular stat. While they have different names, they operate much the same way as before:
Impulsive/Deranged vs Calculated/Ruthless
Perverted/Indecent vs Chivalrous/Apathetic
Charming/Scathing vs Stoic/Heartless
Drifter/Distant vs Protective/Possessive
Brutal/Vicious vs Finesse/Unethical
As an example: when given three choices, one will likely be more Deranged (Impulsive), one will be neutral, and another will be Ruthless (Calculated). After a certain event in the story occurs, this stat will return to normal and how much your meter was filled is added to your final attunement.
