Limiters 

Limiters work in a similar way to the Idols of Bastion. Put simply, they make certain aspects of the game harder in exchange for more experience.

The trick to boosting your XP as much as possible while minimising the risk, is to allocate functions in such a way that they negate or severely reduce the effect of the Limiters. For example, if you enable a Limiter that spawns extra cells, each of which has a chance of morphing into a potential enemy, you could offset it by setting Switch as a passive function and Help as an upgrade function. Doing so would spawn friendly BadCells and give a function the chance to prevent cells from spawning altogether. Maximum XP for minimum risk! Just use the old noggin and you’ll be racking up bonus XP in no time.
