>>7647974In terms of cost-effectiveness, your best bet is to start off with Plain Reader for 1 dot or no dots, then The Consequences of Violence for 1 dot, then Over Before It Started for 1 dot. If you have good Presence + Expression, you take You Are Being Recorded for 1 dot, or skip it otherwise.
Anything beyond that is overkill and not worth the Merit dots. Most Infected Thing I've Ever Seen is not particularly good for 2 dots, for example.
You do mention The Push. It is very strong, and can instantly stop many fights from ever happening, but the problem is that it takes a heavy investment of up to 5 Merit dots to make the most of it.
