Absolver Guide

Hint #1 - Costume Colors
There are a few things you might not know (or remember) if you're coming back at this game, for example, you can paint some of the costumes; the game will let you know you can color a costume with a colored arrow right below the costume. So even if you don't get the coolest looking costume in the game, you can still bring some joy into the life of your character. Keep in mind that costumes without an arrow below them can't be painted. Anyways, most costumes will have a color option.
It might sound silly, but not everyone is aware of this feature, and that's why people keep using black & white colors throughout the game until they reach lvl60 or something so make sure to right click the items you get, see if you can customize it or anything, check for colored arrows & stuff.
Hint #2 - Cloth Weight
The more weight a costume has, less movement you can make.
The lesser the weight, more movement you can make.
But Very few people are actually aware of the full-extent of the Weight Feature. For example, by wearing a light weight costume you'd imagine your character would move faster and make faster attacks, right? correct. But you'd never expect that by "fast", it also means you'll need faster reaction for chain-combos to work properly, which means you'll need to practice until you get used to that speed for chainning-combos together without dropping it into a different combo. Missing a Chain means you'll drop the combo into another stance's attack, which might not be desirable since it could be either a slower or less damaging move than the one you intended to use.
By wearing a slightly heavier cloth - lets say 0,5g heavier - you can then fix that issue, this will make the attack only a bit 'slower' so you can connect the proper chain-combo everytime you want, without dropping it into something else - yet not slow enough so that your opponent can counter or punish it with some other ♥♥♥. Btw, all other moves will also be affected by this. This is why there are so many costumes that are 0,3g~0,5g heavier/lighter than one another.
Hint #3 - Costumes Fixed Appearance
Some costumes will drastically change when fixed/repaired.
Some others will not.
Hint #4 - Repairing / Fixing Costumes (For newcomers)
Hint #4 - Repairing / Fixing Costumes (For newcomers)
If you're just starting the game, don't bother fixing any costume, for a simple few reasons:
1st, you need money to buy items you might want near the end-game, fixing costumes will set you back with $0.0 by the end of the game.
2nd, you can also use the same money to buy that really cool weapon who does all that big damage for your main fighting style (also by the end-game).
That's pretty much it, just don't bother about fixing the costumes at the beginning, unless you know that's something you really want to.
Hint #5 - (Mostly For newcomers)
If you just started the game and you're sad because you can't wear all those cool costumes you've seen on youtube from all those Absolver's black-belts on youtube, lemme give you this advice: "The Beautier you look, The heavier you move"
All cool looking costumes will make your character move slowly. So looking cool in this game has its drags and doesn't really pays off in neither PVP or PVE (Specially if you're just starting!).
