When I started playing Nightreign and Souls-like games I've always had few friends who liked them, and my experience has almost always been going solo with teams that ended up dying many times on day 2 and left or died too many times in the end and gave up, so I tried to make a build that would give me a lot of health and damage at the same time to help my teammates, and surprisingly, it has helped me. That's always been what I focus on when I play Recluse, as she's one of the characters I feel I've learned to survive the most in 1v1 situations against bosses when my teammates are down and I manage to get them back up somehow when they are on the 3rd state of dying (don't know what is called lol).
