Ultimate Slug Killer VS Ultimate Slug Spammer

OD-EX-8 CM, No 6* Bird Operators Only (5 ops)
The EX-8 for the first R6S collab is easier than OD-8, but I figured it would be a fun place to use the no 6* bird squad in. At least, I thought it would be fun until I burnt through entirely too much sanity to get this clear, trying all sorts of ridiculous solutions for problems when I really should've been looking at old recordings more. Oh well.
The main problem is that in CM, La Pluma doesn't kill the slugs in 2 attacks. On NM, she kills every boss spawned slug in P3 by herself, but she needs Pinecone's help in CM... which means she doesn't heal enough and dies. Very frustrating, but I was tilted enough by that that I didn't realize the rather simple solution of using Firewhistle at the end until I had possibly blown enough sanity as to not be able to finish the event shop.
NM is probably a 4 op (removing Mr. Nothing) since Pluma can solo slug lane for Pinecone to redeploy and help Firewhistle kill the 4th infiltrator, who was also a massive bottleneck that resulted in spent sanity on failed solutions. Hate those guys.

This peeping noise the boss makes is so annoying that i swear i can still hear it even when he's gone and i closed the game

This clear took a lot of sanity but I was also painstakingly working on a Skade CM clear at the same time that used Specter Alter's doll as the main slug killer, which was really cool until I realized Phantom couldn't actually push the infiltrators into the hole. The strat also had significant variation due to Executor Alter RNG... and some very specific timings for different permutations... and probably also Phantom S3 RNG idfk
Anyways I realized that I could compress the slug killing for Skade into Executor mostly soloing bottom lane like Pluma does in this clear (also reducing op count from 4 to 3), and that's 100x less cool. It'd also take more sanity to figure out all the Phantom and Specter timings again for what is effectively the same strat as birds...

Silences drone really has super good uptime in that healing
Also nothing was useful for that one slug on beginning too!

[@Pengod]

That slug getting through is entirely avoidable because I forgot to click Pinecone skill enough times during that first group of spiders- but if I have Nothing around, might as well use him

I kinda cheated and let Fiammetta do 80% of all work on this map, but I have no regrets, the sound of her s3 was definitely worth it.

[@Pengod]

Doesn’t have enough range (like Rope) or pull angle (Cliffheart/Gladiia) to have a tile to pull the infiltrators into the void with

[@5chneemensch138]

Infiltrators can be pulled by s2 Cliffheart np. Put her above Pinecone.

[@randomuser8144]

This is a Liberiknights run, so Cliffheart cannot be used.
