I enjoy breaking EU4 and testing its absolute limits, and I am very proud of my expertise of EU4.
I generally focus on livestreaming on twitch instead of making high quality videos: www.twitch.tv/lambdaxx
Therefore, the focus of this channel is mostly for record keeping purposes or a "vod dump." I've dabbled with making high production value educational videos, which I can proudly recommend to any audience, especially ones who don't want to dig through 50 hours of my vods. I also have made poor quality "lecture style" guides where I run through a topic at an impromptu style, but it's unclear to me if I will go back to that style.
This handle is meant to be pronounced lambda x dot x. It's the canonical identity function in lambda calculus, but my main love for it comes from its beautiful form in other fields like proof theory/category theory.

Maplestory Night Lord Reboot Hard Seren solo
Gear, Hexa, and BA at the end.
- ~300bps clean (~420bps on Seren dummy)
- 60785 converted hexa stat** but see disclaimers
- I think this number assumes KMS Dreamer patch which buffs NL origin
- This also assumes I use WH buff, which I don't use
both of these metrics are _slightly_ deflated compared to in practice because I do swap Krr to a stat ring sometimes.
I think this is the only unliberated HSeren solo I've seen for an NL -- an iframe really helps for this fight -- more on that later. I think it's also the lowest damage clear I've seen for a NL, but it's really hard to compare because of differences in externals like WH buff, ring swapping, and 6th job affecting theoretical damage distribution.
---
Notes on the run
My planned routing is what NLs typically do in long runs: phase p1 after AB link comes back after the second burst. This lets you do two bursts each in noon and sunset for the first three cycles and then two bursts in morning and noon (or sunset if you prefer). If you're a tad overstatted, you can even get away with doing the final two bursts in noon and sunset (but you won't get full burst off in final sunset burst).
I accidentally phased too early, so I improvised and bursted in sunset and morning on day 1, noon and midnight in day 2, and then morning and noon in the last two days.
Honestly, this works better. You only have to burst in morning once, and you get more time to DPS on the final day.
----
Notes on min clear
With just p2 in mind, I'm around 10% fd overstatted for a theoretical perfect clear where I dps as aggressively as I did in while never getting hit in morning/dawn phase.
But that assumes I phase p1 well before my third burst to give myself enough time in p2, and my p1 uptime was pretty good -- I don't think even a theoretical perfect p1 would let me phase in time with a hypothetical 10% fd nerf.
I think with WH buff, something like 270bps seems reasonable, without it, idk. P1 really becomes the bottleneck imo. You can squeeze in a throwblast, ab, lr miniburst on entry with a non ror ring though. I played around with using Crisis HM on entry with a precharged throwblasting, but it was just way too annoying to set up. So with that, p1 might not be a bottleneck even at ~270bps.
----
Notes on iframe/krrr:
p1 - I think it's doable in theory. You can see a past video where I timeout in p1 without an iframe, and when practicing for that, I've sort of peaked at ~90% success rate in terms of bursting properly without an iframe in p1. It's just subject to a lot of variables like Seren positioning, pillar RNG, and will CD. It's very hard to get these things to align while timing fatal strike.
p2 noon - pretty easy if you're fine with tanking bombs (i.e. your gauge is low). There is a _fairly low_ probability that the beams fire in a way that you can't move out of while bursting, and when that happens, it's doomed.
p2 sunset - impossible. One single pillar kills you, so if two spawn simultaneously during ROR, you're forced to die or get out of ROR. There is actually an interesting strategy that I played around with, which is to burst Seren at the respawn point (left side). If a pillar comes, you just accept your death and respawn immediately. It's quite hard to pull off in practice while timing fatal, and so I decided to commit to using Krrr here.
p2 midnight - unsure. I think I used krr in this run because I wasn't sure, but I try to avoid bursting here since I waste spreadthrow time. I had to in my run because I phased too early. I think you could go iframe-less, but I don't know the exact range of the knockback she does relative to ROR range.
p2 morning - must. I don't think I need to explain.

I'm happy to pretend it was "deathless" since in a real run I'd have gauged safely for that first death. ...well, in a real run I wouldn't stay in P1 for 30 minutes. My second gauge was just horrible; I think I just played poorly after my first gauge. My quick experience report on learning P1 HSeren as an NL: - If dash is on cd, dodge stabs with upjump; duck makes it harder to react to pillars....

I feel like this arrangement is more of an original composition than an arrangement. It uses the melody and motifs very well to develop a nice piece, but I don't get that "canyon" feel from this rendition. I tried a few attempts at making it sound more similar to the original, but none of my attempts felt any better, so I was mostly loyal to the sheet music.

Very nice arrangement the ending is a pretty nice addition as well. That being said, the arrangement has too many staccatos compared to the original theme. Admittedly, the staccatos do fit the piano better in isolation, but it just didn't sound right to me. So there are parts (e.g. the main theme) that I chose to pedal intentionally to imitate the "MIDI"-esque feel. Also, I had some software is...

So, the title is technically "Cinco de Chocobo." Calling it that doesn't sit entirely right with me though, because the tempo that's often played on this piano arrangement (including this one) is significantly lower than in the original.

Setting a real world time limit while game speed isn't reliable is pretty bad imo. They should rather give in-game time limits. 1444-1470 or something.
Your attention to details and meticulous nature really shine through your music! I'm so glad you don't just "play notes". Bravo!
Wow 😅
This shit is getting old. Another Downfall parody and it's stupid as usual.
yeah i mean i just played mughals and turned on auto siege for every war
How did you know that the timurid heir your received would have the conqueror trait? Was it just simply save scumming ruler death?
sadly, just savescumming. Note that weights of certain traits are affected by some in-game factors though, but in the end, it's RNG that I had to bruteforce
@lambdaxx1 thanks for the reply. I eagerly watched the entire video, this was awesome and Incredibly impressive.
I wasn't interested in watching the video, I don't like watching speedruns, but I thought "maybe I'll learn something for my gameplay" then I clicked. And the first fuckin thing I see is a guy saying "Some highlights of the run include becoming the Holy Roman Emperor and revoking the privilegia by 1456" I then I se he was the country Manchu and then one frame later e bitch was the Timurids and now I'm hyped.
And I thought I was having a good run having subjugated France, Scotland and Ireland as England by mid 1470s😅
How stable was your country before you formed the HRE and just had hundreds of HRE vassals everywhere? If you were not speedrunning the game would it make for a stable run to have just stayed that way and play "Tall"? Do you also have a save at that time (just out of curiosity).
It was very stable. You can find intermediate savefiles in a google drive link in the description.
welcome to the parallel universe where everyone in the HRE was born with one brain cell shared between all princes: Theodoro: hey everyone! this is my new overlord Oirat who you might have noticed just popped up on your maps yesterday and who conquered everyone to your east. Prince 1: what the hell is an oirat and what is it doing occupying our christian polish neighbors? do they even speak our language? Prince 2: Do we Coalition them? they seem scary... Prince 1: nah, that would be mean. they couldnt even see us, how were they supposed to know this might anger us. i say forgive and forget. Prince 2: sure thing, i see absolutely nothing wrong with this decision. while were at it, lets make them emperor too, they seem like such nice people. Prince 1: yeah, sure why not. not like were gonna actually do what they say. lets just treat em like we treated austria. paying lipservice to their title and getting on with the party Prince 2: now hold on a minute. they said that 5 years ago they added every single russian province to a trade company for exactly one day, which somehow ruined their economy for the last 5 years. they were also really insistent on joining the HRE. they sent me like 50 letters announcing that. one each day, crazy stuff! Prince 1: okay, now that changes the whole political dynamic here. it seems we owe them our unquestioning loyalty forever and ever now. lets go mobilize our entire male population to join them in there conquest of *checks notes* france, persia and the ottoman empire Prince 2: okay, so thats gonna occupy us for at least 50 years right? Prince 1: ehm nope. apparently the emperor expects the war to be won within the week so we can go on to conquer england, india and china.

Hi, do you know strategy when you become oda, starting as uesugi? And if you do what do you think about it
I'm not aware of it, and I don't think it really does anything. You can unify Japan as anyone fairly quickly (as demonstrated here), and starting as a stronger nation doesn't make it that much faster (unless you're going for shogun rush)
mino is a lvl 3 fort, how'd you siege it down with 4 dudes?
Poor AIs love mothballing their capital forts. As long as you don't let them activate the fort (i.e. you already have troops on their fort), it'll remain mothballed, so it'll count as a level 1 fort. If you even give them a day, it'll activate their fort, so it'll require 9 regiments despite having 1k garrison
You just no cb assault fort everyone with mercs, nice.
This must have been before they added a peace deal for natives to fully annex them. No chasing them around anymore, just a treaty for "annex migratory tribe". Wonder how much faster you could have made this run with that ability.
