## Modifiers & Restrictions

This Prize Fight features two modifiers that only affects the player with a unique restriction of requiring a Valentine in the team for every fight.

### Tips & Tricks

* **Offense**: The modifiers for this event are solely placed on the player's side, and have ELEMENTAL ADVANTAGES in mind. For the first modifier, SHE LOVES ME gives the player a effect similar to VAMPIRE where they regain health back with each succesful hit, albeit locked behind an Elemental Advantage restriction. Not bad! It can help your fighters from dying from chip damage over time, and for Beowulfs, who often have the DEFENDING CHAMPION Marquee active, it helps them keep their health above the opponent's. While it is a nice effect, it's not absolutely neccessary as healing is not one of the things you often associate with offense, so the player shouldn't limit themselves to variants with Elemental Advantages over the enemy team if they have a variant that can do the job better.
	+ Now where this event becomes tricky is with the *other* modifier: SHE LOVES ME NOT. This modifier is the exact opposite of SHE LOVES ME as it actually deals recoil damage to you if you have an ELEMENTAL DISADVANTAGE. Unlike the first modifier, this really impacts the choices you make when picking an offensive team as high streaks will have very tanky teams, and you really don't want to take 50% of your dealt damage when taking them on. **Do not pick variants with an Elemental Disadvantage if you can't afford to take the recoil damage.**
	+ Using Double variants is kind of a double-edged sword; On the one hand, if you transmutate into an Elemental Advantage, you get healing, which they can really use since Double as a character has a naturally low health pool and you can freely adjust your element to be advantageous to whoever you're up against. On the other hand, if you somehow get yourself into transmutating into a Disadvantage, it's really easy to die from the recoil damage since, again, they don't have a lot of health and have a high Attack stat. Keep this in mind while choosing your offense.
	+ Dark, Light and Neutral variants are great since they don't actually have an Elemental Disadvantage by nature; Light and Dark variants don't have Disadvantage to each other, and Neutral variants are, well, neutral. Rainbow Blight is an exception to this for the reasons stated in the previous paragraph.
	+ And finally, you need to have a Valentine variant in your team in order to attack teams. This is not the worst restriction to have, but most of the Valentine variants deal with defensive support, especially the bronzes and silvers. While it's nice to have a safety net with Forbidden Procedure or a Kill Joy, the player should try to pick an offensive (support) variant if they can. Examples are Très Chic, Oh Mai and Silent Kill. Happy Valentines, and have fun!
