Spent a lot of time on this one because this will probably be my only chance ever to get this achievement. I even dropped my settings to lowest to maximize performance. Since it's on the "easiest" server, I already know a lot of people try to discredit it but I'm not here for acknowledgment anyway.

Competition was never my thing in this game because of how inherently unfair it is but I'm more than willing to try on a "fair" cycle. A lot of the recent releases have been pushing more and more towards higher spenders just automatically beating every lower spender. Trio being the most extreme example of this where Myriad is literally just ordering players by their Character ranks. Herrscher of Truth especially has been terrible in this regard because she powercrept Azure Empyrea who had some of the highest, if not the highest, skill expression in the game. S0 Herrscher of Truth is also just terrible and it affects so many teams. I expect the new Seele to be this way as well, which is probably going to be the end of my time playing this game since Herrscher of Sentience is my favorite character to play.

Anyway, I never even expected this to be possible but I knew physical teams would be the only chance I was going to have. It has 2 strong farmable DPS and relatively few strict pay to win mechanics that are impossible to overcome. SSS Herrscher of Sentience and Aladdin dupes as well as SSS Palatinus Equinox doing well on neutral bosses were what made it impossible previously.

The Vill-V boss nullifies the advantage of SSS Herrscher of Sentience because of the long time before the boss spawns and the long transition. It also favors Valkyrie Quicksand to an extent that stops any of the whales with ranked physical DPS from being unbeatable. This specific disturbance made Aladdin dupes not gain an advantage with current strats, however, I have some ideas for how it could beat me but revealing that would just be self sabotage. All of this together gives me a chance.

Edit: The idea to beat me would be to save the weapon active at the end of P2. This requires a lot of damage but when I compared my damage to aladdin MB dupe runs, I am very confident that it would work. The set up has to be a little different as blade durandal needs to start hitting Vill-V as soon as she appears in P2 to maximize all damage that is dealt to her. Since the weapon active instantly applies its bleed trauma on cast, whereas the combo attack has a little delay, the fight would be finished at least 1 point sooner.

As of posting this video the cycle is not over yet, so whether I will succeed or not is uncertain. I will update this after abyss finalizes. Provided I get it, I'll probably stop being competitive entirely and just focus only on teams I actually want to play. I really enjoy playing physical so this kind of a nice coincidence.

Edit: Abyss finalized, I remained rank 1.
