Lower minimal possible level for some hands

[sage sigil]

Those levels can be reached on those hands if they were downgraded by the Arm boss blind
But obviously some levels are not available for all hands, because base chips and mult must be positive numbers

.........................................................................

Level 0 base chips × mult:

Three Of A Kind : 10 × 1
Flush: 20 × 2
Full House: 15 × 2
Four Of A Kind: 20 × 4
Straight Flush: 60 × 4
Five Of A Kind: 85 × 9
Flush House: 100 × 10
Flush Five: 110 × 13

.........................................................................

Level -1 base chips × mult:
Five Of A Kind: 50 × 3
Flush House: 60 × 6
Flush Five: 60 × 10

.........................................................................

Level -2 base chips × mult:
Flush House: 20 × 2
Flush Five: 10 × 7

Negative levels have existed before, and LocalThunk decided they were too punishing to have in game

Oh

[raw orbit]

And even without that context, it would still be a lasting gimmick unique to one boss that nothing else in the entire game achieves (which is why I hate Arm to begin with lol)

It's already a punishing boss for so many builds it does not need to be worse

I think the Arm is more interesting by being able to play around it by playing Lvl 1 hands, like lucking into a Straight Flush in a Straight build

Funny how you accidentally remade something that was already in the game, though. At least it shows it's a neat idea in theory, but in actual game balance it doesn't work out too well.
