Enemy Death Ticket

I don't know if any of you used an "Enemy Death Ticket" during your playthrough. After completely upgrading the "Secret Room" and emptying out all theme deck gachas, they're the only thing you can spend your Blightstones on late-game, and I think I have 50 or so left that I didn't bother to waste.

Here's what surprised me with regards to "Enemy Death Tickets": By using one, not only the enemy (or enemies) directly in front of the player's position are automatically defeated (as the description suggests), but instead all enemies on the whole floor (except for the boss) are defeated, which makes these "Enemy Death Tickets" slightly more useful. Considering they work this way, though, it doesn't make sense that they can't be activated unless there's an enemy directly in front of the player's position or unless there isn't a single enemy-free route leading to the floor's boss.

When using "Enemy Death Tickets" to kill enemies, you don't earn EXP or Gold, but you can grab the treasure chests that these enemies dropped. Treasure chests on "Strong Enemy" tiles look different from the rest, and you might notice that "normal treasure chest" tiles are now marked with a treasure jewel symbol so that you can differentiate between them and treasure chests on tiles of normal enemies that have been killed by using an "Enemy Death Ticket".

While I didn't use "Enemy Death Tickets" all that much, there's one instance when they're really useful. There's a "Strong Enemy" called "Lord Salamander" that can be encountered on the final (12th) floor (and maybe also one floor below) of the "Tower of Trial". If you're like me, you want to fight that abomination once (so it appears in the catalogue) and then never again. "Lord Salamander" is nearly as strong as "Tower of Trial's" boss (maybe even stronger with regards to damage output only), and it loves to wreck the player directly before confronting said boss. You need to make use of everything against "Lord Salamander", which means even "wasting" "Sheep Cards" that you wanted to save for the boss. Using an "Enemy Death Ticket" here instead of fighting "Lord Salamander" means such a great increase of the cost-benefit ratio. Furthermore, beware not to carelessly trigger event choice battles on "Tower of Trial's" final floor - I nearly ruined a "Tower of Trial" run when I encountered a "Lord Salamander" that way. The possibility of having to fight back-to-back battles against a "Lord Salamander" and "Tower of Trial's" boss is also the reason why you should definitely try to get your hands on the "Rebirth Device" treasure during "Tower of Trial" runs.

In short: Buy "Enemy Death Tickets" only if there's nothing else to buy, and primarily use them to defeat "Lord Salamanders" on "Tower of Trial's" final floor.

Thanks for checking them out! I haven't used even a single one because I consider them super worthless. I could live with not getting cash (though I had runs that I ended them very poor), but not getting any XP was the reason why I decided not to use them.
