-"Holly was killed instantly!" "Whatthef-"

[hiyousei]

Because some people I know are complaining that Etrian Odyssey is "too hard":

My current in-game strategy because I'm a fucking nerd:

Actions FARTHER DOWN on this list take priority! If a character is not acting according to this list, they are attacking normally.
BRAVERY IS NOT ALREADY IN EFFECT - Litania uses Bravery.
THE ENEMY IS FOE AND THE PARTY HAS LOW TP - Litania uses Relaxing instead of Bravery.
THE ENEMY IS NOT FOE AND BRAVERY IS ALREADY IN EFFECT - Litania uses Relaxing.
THE ENEMY IS FOE AND IMMUNIZE IS NOT ALREADY IN EFFECT - Selene uses Immunize.
THE ENEMY IS FOE AND BRAVERY (OR RELAXING) IS ALREADY IN EFFECT - Litania uses Healing.
LITANIA HAS ALREADY SET TWO BUFFS - Litania attacks normally from here on.
THE ENEMY IS A CRAB OF SOME KIND - All party members with attack skills use attack skills.
ONE PARTY MEMBER HAS LOW HP - Selene uses Cure III on the injured party member.
TWO OR MORE PARTY MEMBERS HAVE LOW HP - Selene uses Salve II.
ONE OR MORE PARTY MEMBERS ARE DEAD - Selene uses Revive. Order of priority: Bridget > Ivan > Holly > Litania.
THE ENEMY IS FOE AND SELENE IS USING A SKILL - Bridget uses First Turn on Selene.
SELENE IS USING REVIVE AND EITHER IVAN OR HOLLY ARE NOT DEAD WHILE THE OTHER IS DEAD - Bridget uses First Turn on Selene.
THE ENEMY IS FOE AND SELENE IS NOT USING A SKILL - Bridget uses an attack skill.
THE ENEMY IS FOE - Ivan uses Allslash, and Holly uses an attack skill based on what bindings are not already in place.
THE ENEMY IS FULLY-BOUND - Holly uses Ecstasy.
