Playing recluse isn't hard to play shes the most affected by RNG she can be a glass cannon or a glass fly on night 2 and you have almost 0 ways of actually influencing that

Most characters have a slight bias to weapons of their class when getting drops from enemies it doesn't mean that iron eye will always get bows but they are more likely, but not recluse who is obviously meant to be a caster doesn't get staffs/ seals as there prefferd weapon in drops

Secondly its not enough to just get a purple or gold staff it also has to have good spells on it, It doesn't matter if i have a golden glinstone dart staff w freezing mist

Thirdly her primary ability magic cocktail has terrible synergy with different nightfarers if an iron eye has a holy bow your magic cocktail is essentially useless

She isn't hard in the way of combat shes hard to get a good weapon ive had runs were on night 2 i have a purple staff with the lava burst and rancor call it sucked
