Yeah, just because the run is officially over it doesnt mean there is nothing else to do.
There are actually a couple more fights I want to do before I am truly finished with this file.
Let’s attempt all 3 SP bosses!
Also, from this point onwards, I am not holding back at all; I will use Buffs and Consumables if necessary. My goal was to beat Irisu without them; that is done.
I just want to see if these fights are possible at all on a BEX 0% item file.

Ribbon SP:
What you need to know about this fight, is that you arent only fighting Ribbon herself, but its also basically on a timer as well: Your buffs.

As long as you have them, the fight is manageable, its still hard and you can still die, yes; but as long as you dont get hit too often, you can recover and generally sustain yourself.
But the moments the buffs run out, Ribbon has to be nearly dead already, or you are toast.
The attacks are simply too hard at that point- some are just impossible without buffs (0:35)

It is barely possible to defeat Ribbon before the buffs run out, but, as you can see in the video itself, the timers are extremely strict to do so.
So yeah, speedkilling is a thing here more than ever. Its not optional, you MUST damage Ribbon at every single opportunity or you just wont make it- she basically wins the moment your buffs expire.

Luckily, its also a fairly predictable fight. Route the fight; do the same damage each time and she will do the same patterns etc. You will have a way easier time. In my experience the first 2 minutes or so in particular were always the same thing on my runs.

0:35 As long as you have buffs, its easy.

Just stand on the platform and shoot when Erina’s head hits the ceiling: Thats the ideal height to clear nearly all the bullets in your way, and also hit Ribbon to keep the Rank from dropping.
Just keep in mind to have enough MP in reserve beforehand; it regens almost as fast as you use it, but not quite. And the last thing you want is to run out of it during this attack.

1:10 One thing to keep in mind- and this is a mistake I used to do at first- Ribbon has Defense Boost during this attack. Even when you think the attack is truly over, she will still have that active for a couple of seconds. WAIT until she no longer has this buff, I used to hit the Rainbow Charged with it still active and this is obviously not ideal. Especially because you need all the damage you need. Same goes for other attacks, READ the boss buffs!

1:51 Use the Hovering trick, but dont use the Cocoa Bombs yet if you can help it.
Its better to Amulet here, and use the Cocoa Bombs for the 2nd time this attack appears, later in the fight (And it WILL appear).

3:18 Alright, 2 important things about this Cut-In:

1) Dodge it on either Left or Right side, NOT the center.
I used to dodge it in the middle area, however, you cant deal as much damage there for obvious reasons. Thus either side is better. The damage of the Rainbow Basic shots by itself may not be all that much, but every little bit helps, and it also helps for builing BP, too.
2) Speaking of BP, this is a good place to use a Rainbow Boost as well. This has the "STOP!" Sign; dont need to worry about rank drop. Use it ASAP though, because a single hit can drop your BP.

4:25 This time, instead of taking the hit, I prefer to use the Amulet, mostly to prevent Rank Drop.
There is a good chance you wont have any Amulets by this point. This is why I told you to save the Cocoa Bombs; they are better used here.
Also if you happen to have enough BP for a Boost, Blue is the best one here because it will keep the Rank going. Otherwise, remember to still attack Ribbon somehow, its surprisingly easy to forget about that in the middle of this attack.

4:45 Good luck is all I can say. This thing is really hard. Its marginally easier if Ribbon isnt on Critical HP by the time she does this, but at the same time if she is NOT, that may mean you are dead anyways (Buff time is about to expire).

5:26 This is what I am talking about. By the time your buffs expire, she will likely do this.
As stated before, without buffs, this thing is just impossible. You will get hit and get all these debuffs, on top of the buffs Ribbon gets from being at critical HP, means you wont survive this.

So yeah it IS a really hard fight, but it has been done. ALBEIT it needs to be said; this is the absolute best conditions you can fight Ribbon SP with; 24 Easter Eggs + I dont even have Keke recruited yet, so she’s at her lowest possible level I believe. If you recruited Keke...ehh not sure if possible. It may be but it probably needs perfect play + good luck. I think its a good idea to leave Keke after Irisu.
