Gym badge day is a VERY dangerous day!
So, something that amazes me about this game is the hidden synergies.
Full disclosure, I'm pretty bad at this game, but I had finally had a good run where I got the composite gun in the first chest, and just kept rolling from there.
Eventually, I picked up a heart of ice (extra heart, releases a flurry of ice projectiles when you get hit), the super soaker and a battery gun (looks like a duracell and shoots electricity).
I got to the boss of the 4th floor and it's the gun priest. I figured I would spray the arena down with water, shoot some voltage for a constant DPS and then use the Composite gun for main damage.
Unfortunately, I didn't realize that the heart of ice also turns the water that you spray into ice on the floor and it became impossible for me to control my character effectively and I died VERY quickly.
The other downside is that the gun priest floats....
So, yeah... SYNERGIES!

I must be the only one that digs the convict, then.
Yeah, her starting pistol only has 5 shots, but it does decent enough damage and has a relatively quick reload time, and the shotgun is nice to have as a backup.
The real kicker, for me, is the molotov starter, where I can just say "Oh, look a densely packed sphere of angry things, time to set them all on fire." and walk away.
I just like having the extra damage, but YMMV. :shrug:
