Cavalcadence plays Aria 32: 0-gold run, 1-1 challenge! (All Zones Mode: AMPLIFIED)
So I was trying some Aria 0-gold 1-1 challenge runs again... and things were actually going a bit better than last time. =)
Anyway, long story short, while it did take longer than I was hoping it would, and though there were at least one or two fairly promising runs that ended due to, uh, careless mistakes... ^^; Eventually, this run happened. ^^
So here it is... my first ever "0-gold 1-1 challenge" Aria win! Hope you enjoy!
Some notes and possible points of interest:
0:00 Lobby - "Ha ha!" =)
- Note: If you "Quit to Lobby" right after defeating a mini-boss (before the audio clip plays)... the audio clip will get played when you appear in the Lobby instead. =)
0:07 Lvl 5-1
0:48 Glass Jaw, Glass Shovel, & Glass Armor!
2:03 Spiked Ears!
- Without any other damage bonuses for it to double, the Glass Jaw will only increase Aria's damage to 2 (1x2)... but the Spiked Ears will increase it to 3 (1+2), so... =)

23:47 Zone 1 Boss: The Golden Lute
- Decided to use the "confusion cancel" strat I discovered by accident during my "No Nazar Charm" Low Percent win (Aria 22).
- Basically, if a Lute event starts on the same beat as when Aria would normally get confused, the event cancels the confusion!
- So if you hit the Lute once, then simply wait for the Lute's confusion to wear off (it'll get transferred to Aria), then after that, proceed normally (hit Lute to make it confused, then hit it while it's confused, etc, etc)... you won't have to worry about Aria getting confused in the battle again. =)
- Basically, the damage lines up so that the Lute event at 5 damage (dragons summoned) cancels the next Aria confusion... and the Lute event at 9 damage (wall pig cascade) cancels the one after that. =)
25:23 Flawless!
25:28 "You won! Coin Score: 0" My first ever "0-gold 1-1 challenge" Aria win! =)
