You can't feed on Defect -- so either Defect isn't any enemy or Feed isn't in the game. I'm kind of inclined to believe the latter, as tinfoil as it sounds. Of course it could be both.

I guess quests are a more healthy form of meta scaling than stuff like Feed and Lesson Learned. I'm intrigued, feels hard to tell what they'll be like until we know more. I hope they don't make the runs where they appear feel too samey. The bird pet is very cute.

i'm sure they're also great at slay the spire, they eat at the finest restaurants, and hang with the hottest dudes

My guess is that the Defect is going to be a multi-run quest you have to invest into to unlock.

So you have to get the Defect event (that screenshot we saw of it a while back) and give up something, and after enough runs and accumulation, you unlock him as a playable character.

I'm so confident I'm willing to bet your children on it.

I hope not, I don't like sabotaging my rogue like runs for meta progression, but I guess we'll see.
