I just had a solo run with The Quartered and Lacerating Aura as an equipment.
I managed to beat the concierge and angry concierge without either getting a single action.
Upgraded Serenade gives a gear turn 0. Maxed red track gives a gear turn 1.
Maxed Purple track doubles each gear, but not even relevant.
Lacerating aura can be used with a gear to deal 2 hearts in front, 2 hearts behind. However, the quartered first red upgrade allows you to direct any attack to any location... so 1 gear is two sets of 2 damage to any location.
Thus, dealing 8 damage to the concierge in turns 0 and 1.
Game on easy mode.
