Why it might work

  • Opposite seasonsVoters put Incensum in winter and fall and Tendre Poison in spring. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Incensum is moderate on both, Tendre Poison long lasting and strong, so neither should bury the other.
