I would very likely be skipping the tutorial every time, just like I do in TiTS, but I can't. Not literally can't, there is a skip tutorial button, but if you go through the tutorial and beat each of the fights, you get two potions (one of which is technically unique, though it's essentially just a blue egg with a turgid infusion) which allow you to turn any character into a hermaphrodite, which is useful because I almost always do, and it gives you the Blade Staff, which is unironically in my opinion one of the best pieces of spellcaster equipment available to you primarily because you get it so early and it has the stats which it does. It is better for split-casters, of course, as it has better melee damage than most staves, and the other two catalysts which are built for a split fighter have much weaker penetration and power in exchange for their higher melee damage. It's also a direct upgrade to the quarterstaff even for pure casters due to catalyst equipment giving their crit to the spells which are cast.
Basically my gripe is that I can't get the Bladed Staff and the two early transformatives (Along with the other item drops from battles) without playing through the tutorial dungeon again, since skipping the tutorial does not give you any items, only Electrum.
