I hate this RotD...every map is hard, so no pulled punches this season. Really just wanna get back to progressing Ch 13...

The new worst RotD map ever. Roully's dads are super op and I don't want anything to do with them. To make matters worse, the spawns are beefy and extremely spread out, the left side spawns hardly give you any time to react, the turtles that turn off ults are extremely annoying and eats up moves, the clear speed to make 40k is tight, and Roully is fat and blocks a lot of aggro. So, we need something with massive clear range and high uptime from afar...which doesn't leave us very many options.
Admittedly I don't have much of a gameplan here outside of 11 ticking all the boxes, and I'm mostly playing by the ear. Eve being able to tank both dads, and Langley covers the early clear before 11 starts snowballing off her buff. Once one dad is down, we can have Eve switch to clock to help with wave clear.

A conceptually simple map, but results vary wildly due to teleport duck rng and fairly limited moves. Funny enough, Hamel is played more for her global damage to mitigate this than anything else. Seeing as most people are struggling with having enough healers, it may not be wise to burn the best healer on a map with self healing just for more clear speed that I clearly didn't need.
A fast 4 core break is also required to break and remove boss's shield asap. Never use the right stunner unless boss cores are already up, they can cancel his core reveal and instantly end your run. You need to farm those empowers. Left stunner is mostly used to prevent shielders from putting up their shield and stunning our Nox. I don't wanna gamble on them showing their cores at the same time as boss and holding up my wave spawns on an already rng heavy map...
Eirene ult being too slow is unfortunate, no pseudo s1 Nox for me.... =(

A modified repeat that's now much harder than before. Mantis leaping forward constantly eventually moves her out of collateral range, so a timely Mantis kill is highly recommended. The map heavily favors aoe nukes, so McQueen and Joan would also work out well here. Incoming damage is small, so even Cabernet or s0 Coco can handle it.
Nightmare on Pepper helps smooth out our clear speed before ramp up bonuses kick in. Not sure of Sumi and Levy's CBs are all that optimal. I wanted FV on Sumi to make sure I don't get caught without breaks, but that seems highly unlikely upon restrospect. Levy is way too tanked up and probably could've greeded FV.
