*AntiFrustrationFeatures:
** Red has unlimited ammunition, which is compensated for with his musket having a long reload time. Also, you can reload the musket by holding down the fire button, so immediately after firing you can swing into your reload.
** The musket reload animation can be interrupted at any time to dodge or attack.
** When Antea takes damage, it just reduces her spirit points with no other penalty.
** Outside of combat, Antea's manifestations have no cost, making it easy to explore.
** If the upgrade elements you need are elsewhere on the map and you won't be going there for a while, you can buy just enough for an upgrade from merchants for a relatively reasonable price.
** Side activities like Nests and Elites offer permanent plus ones to all your stats, so even if you don't need the special crafting materials, they're worth playing.
** Enemies sniping at you from areas you can't reach with usually go down with one rifle shot, even if on the ground they might take two or three if you don't hit a weak spot.

*ArtisticLicenseFirearms: Red's muzzle-loading rifle is quick to reload, never misfires, and is pinpoint accurate across distances it'd be fairly impressive to hit with a modern rifle.
