Messages

At the start of the combat:

If foe has at least one weakness, one of the following is displayed:

• Your informant tells you to kill it with fire. It's usually sound advice.
• Your informant points out your opponent should buy a coat. What is he, their mom?
• Your informant tells you acid is always strong against this kind of opponents in games he plays.
• Your informant tells you electricity will make short work of this foe. You have no idea how he knows that.
• Your informant points out that your foe hates his awesome video game mix tape and is, therefore, vulnerable to sonic attack. You're... not sure that's quite right.
• Your informant says it should be easy to hurt your opponent's feelings, but that bullying is never cool... unless you're using psychic powers. Then it's awesome.

If foe has no weaknesses then their defences are lowered by 1-3 points with the message:

• Your informant tells you to hit your opponent's weak point for massive damage. That was... sort of already the plan, but the extra eyes looking for weak points does help a little.

After combat:

• At the end of the fight, your informant fills you in on the last game he played. It's actually pretty interesting. You gain 1-3 XP.
  

Dismissal Message: You decide you're better off without a sidekick and shoo yours away.

Notes

• Can be summoned once per day.
• Doesn't identify weaknesses on scaling foes.
