Yea, I totally get that, and I do admit that you've got a point when it comes to certain enemies getting comically large way faster than you. I think I just kinda ignore it since I spent a good long while farming to get 10000 sacrificed points in all of the stats, and having all of the skill upgrades I wanted makes a HUGE difference. Namely the Dodgy trait that makes you impossible to damage for four hits and Thick Thighs Save Lives which makes you literally unkillable twice over. Having those, alongside rapidly regenerating health, block, AP, and a little passive size growth just for the hell of it, it makes even some truly massive enemies do absolutely nothing as long as they don't use debuffs too much. Though honestly I could never tell the difference between any of the ego bet levels. Does doing the highest one make your opponent attack more often, grow faster, or just use particular moves more frequently or something?
