Hey there! First of all, I'd like to thank I Love Amiya for his 605 that I used as a basis; check it out here. th-cam.com/video/BKQVcHCTP6g/w-d-xo.html&t=s I was really stuck on ~520 for Phase 1, so I really wouldn't have been able to get all the way here without his work. Anyways, here's a writeup of the clear! (Most of it is reducing RNG. Several deployments and Folinic can be removed entirely with very good RNG, but I don't want to do that, so....) 0:03 - First, the risk selection. Enemy ATK Up and Ally HP down are pretty free picks - you're avoiding most of incoming damage with Reeds and FRD baiting, so picking this maximizes your damage output. I did end up taking 20 point ATK down, because I was doing opener testing with it, and kililng the drones with no attack down was definitely too easy. Turns out I picked right! I'm actually sort of not sure if 10 point Guard/Sniper is takeable, some math suggests I might be something like 5 DP short at the earliest point? Maybe possible with very good Aak and Schwarz RNG, since there's not really too much more I can think of to optimize other than the RNG-mitigating deployments. Given how close the final kill was, and how annoying getting there is, I'm not really willing to do it. Redeploy and 5 Deployment Limit are sort of free with good planning, can't really comment much on that. Taking full buff drones and treacherous terrain gives set bonuses which is nice to increase the score - ILA's 605 opted to leak the drones, but after some math, I reasoned that killing the drones would be possible, so I traded Guard/Sniper Ban for HP Seal 1, which was a net increase of 5 points due to the set bonus. I actually tunneled on Goldenglow S1 during my own attempts, until I saw ILA's usage of Rockrock - with a little bit of help from iris and then Stainless, the rover risk set is pretty free. Of course, invis rover is not possible here, so no set bonus. Both the 20 point -50% SP gen and right side fire are pretty free risks, but converting the enemies to Flamechasers is actually wholly impossible around halfway through the map when combined with -1 Block as FRDs can't reveal the Embers anymore. Maybe both Flamechaser tags can be taken to trade for -1 Block, but the clear is already pretty tight, and the 20 point Ember tag granting a global 50 ASPD to enemies is a huge pain, so I'm not sure. Def down is pretty free since most damage 1 shots anyway, the casters require a little adjusment with FRDs and average Aak RNG, and -1 Block, with this strategy, is also pretty irrelevant with decent Aak RNG for the center lane. 0:27 - This opener has gone through like 5 separate revisions in order to mitigate RNG. Waai Fu is deployed first because this ensures she retreats first to refund DP for Aak in the center lane. The Phantom clone isn't explicitly necessary, but mitigates poor Aak RNG. 0:53, 1:00 - Here's some changes I made from ILA's strategy. Facing Rockrock left allows her to help kill some enemies while her drone kills the Rover, most notably at 1:46, 2:37, 3:28, and 3:56. There's actually an Iris timing in which she kills the 1:18 Special Forces Soldier and then charges 4 attacks with the remainder of her S1, but I haven't been able to do it very consistently, and it ended up mattering very little. This is also why I used Iris over Delphine, for the 4th attack as well as her higher base ATK. 1:12 - This Waai Fu deployment is not necessary with good Aak RNG, as he can kill all 3 enemies here on his own. Unfortunately, I didn't get it here. 1:41 - The Phantom clone Is also not really necessary with extremely good RNG. 2:05 - Another major departure from ILA's strategy in execution, but still essentially the same in concept. Deploying Stainless very early here allows him to get two uses of S1: one now, and another for the drone burst. Getting an activation here greatly speeds up the kill of the second rover, which makes the threat of the casters much lower, since their risk gives them extremely long range. 2:33 - Stainless being down early and using a deploy slot here requires a different approach than using Phantom + Clone to bait 2 waves of Seeds when the drone spawns to ensure Rockrock survives. Initially for 620 I used Kazemaru, but I realized Jessica + Shield can both be used to tank the requisite seeds waves, and also help kill the Special Forces Captain at 2:57, which allows Goldenglow to get a little extra damage onto the rover, but also more importantly frees up Phantom for 3:09, where he helps kill the caster due to it's risk giving it much higher HP. 3:34 - Folinic is not explicitly necessary if Aak gets really good RNG, but her addition here is to keep Aak alive under the caster's super long range attacks. 4:01 - Unfortunately, no Kal'tsit S1. Using Stainless early means he has to be retreated in order for his S1 to be available for Drone burst, so I went for Kal'tsit S2 to hold the lane and Phantom to help kill casters until her S2 is up. 4:55 - Mon3tr dying here actually surprised me - I might've put down Waai Fu a little too late, but nevertheless I was actually caught off guard and had to improvise. Luckily, I managed to recover - the 5:10 SA deployment was not meant to be this early, but in combination with the 5:19 Phantom deploy and Schwarz, I managed to save this. 5:28 - Stainless comes back JUST in time for his S1 to charge for burst. I put him on a normal tile since he's under no threat from the Seeds, and there's no reason to unnecessarily inhibit his SP charge. 6:07 - I think I spent like 30 minutes editing this entire drone burst sequence and lining everything up lol 6:23 - I had fully given up at this point, especially because the HP bar is literally not visible due to the drone's position, and it was leaving Pramanix and Schwarz's range. Luckily though, Schwarz got a crit for the def reduction, which I think was really critical to killing it there. I was shaking when I saw that it killed, and was extremely surprised. Thanks for watching (and reading if you got this far)
I'm amazed that a run actually choose the movement risk for the car and able to spawn kill it, barely with Stainless. Then shocked when Silverash actually waiting for his S3 at the bottom, just notice that it is no-leak run. This run has the ABSOLUTE swag. But Aak. Aak rules the run.
rockrock drone kills it from across the map, it’s actually very funny and yeah Aak essentially handling all of middle/right and killing seeds is amazing, the mod really improved his consistency and made him very strong He’s also able to deal with the Flamechasers as well with reveal support, but that is extremely hard with -1 Block and also makes FRD usage a bit more difficult / relies even more on good RNG

It’s genuinely insane that the Drone didn’t leak, You did an amazing job!!
I'm amazed that a run actually choose the movement risk for the car and able to spawn kill it, barely with Stainless. Then shocked when Silverash actually waiting for his S3 at the bottom, just notice that it is no-leak run. This run has the ABSOLUTE swag.
But Aak. Aak rules the run.

SWING YOUR HAMMEEEEEEEERS LIKE A PHOENIX
Great clear.
HELL YEAH THAT'S MY CAT
I love how goldenglow is supposed to be the “better” drone caster but stainless buffs rock2 cause her drones are better
also fits lore wise because stainless and rock2 are friends lol
Cat supreme!
Wish they give sa module earlier for this cc
No PV? Heh
kot
Let's go Felineknights!!! Sadly my smol brain can't reach more than 450 yet even with my own felines and your (Zui) Iris
Amazing clear!! 🐱
meow
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO
