Haha, that made me chuckle. From what I understand, the gimp (if this new idea of passive aggression becoming a debuff is kept) will block all passives on the first turn unless your guys have immunity talis (because that form of immunity isn't granted by a passive). HH/AD won't work unless they are equipped with immunity talis. So, your choices are either to bring a team full of immunity talis and sacrifice some damage, or bring a HH/AD with an immunity set. Passive aggression will go into effect at the beginning of the gimp team's turn, so if you go 2nd but your immunity wears off by the time you take your turn, you'll still have your passives active because passive aggression will only go back into effect when the gimp gets a turn.
TL;DR: Yeah, this is pretty fuckin' in-depth and confusing at first haha.
