Thank You to “wheelotime” & “lolman” from the Lungmen Dragons Discord Server for the Music Recommendations!!

And also Thank You to Everyone who voted on the Poll to decide the Two stages for this video.
Very Much Appreciated!!

Stage Yapping below :0
Starting with PV-9 where all Three Operators have equally important roles, first let's talk about Texas which I have the least to say about.
Like I said in the Video she's on Balloon duty, she's literally the only Reapdeploy Operator that can take out Two Waves of Balloons in One Deploy. She also handles all the Threats coming from the Top Left... while taking care of her Balloon duties... perhaps Texas is a bit strong lol

CrownSlayer is mainly playing Support and is the Primary Staller of the stage, her importance is seen right off the bat against the Trucks. Texas helps stall a bit while dealing with the early trash mobs but aside from that Crown is the main star of the show here.
Just to add some context at (0.14) when Texas is first deployed, she fills in for CrownSlayers 2 sec stun cooldown then Crown stuns the left truck again. It's a bit hard to see so just wanted to mention it before someone thinks Texas is doing a majority of the Stun work there when it's actually Crown.

After the Firework ignites, the stage is now all about keeping it running for as long as possible!!
So that means popping as many Balloons as possible and preventing any enemies from attacking it, using the Slowness Firework along side La Pluma makes the second part easier but she still needs some support which is where CrownSlayer comes in.

As seen at (0.34) if you didn't know La Pluma S2 increases her ATK by an Extra +50% against enemies with less than Half Hp, so without CrownSlayer's Stun & the extra dmg La Pluma doesn't have enough damage to stop the Trucks before they get an attack off on the Firework which leads to a loss.
Also at (0.43) La Pluma can't take out the 1st Tuba before the next Two arrive which results in at least One getting through and using their Flamethrower on the Firework, so CrownSlayer stuns the 1st Tuba out of their skill right at the end of her range then stalls & chips down the other Two to be easily taken care of by Pluma.
Next CrownSlayer stalls & chips down the horde of Dancers at (0.55) which allows Pluma to take out the entire wave without the firework taking any damage.
Then it's the final wave (1.25) with Three Dancers on their way it's up to CrownSlayer to help a Skill-less La Pluma take them out, which works cause CS stuns the 3rd Dancer right outside the range of the Firework which leaves it with just enough health for Texas to redeploy and pop more Balloons.
Overall a Pretty Fun stage and I'm glad it was chosen over the other options to be in this video!!

Now for PV-EX-7 CM, Initially I thought "Surely Executor can solo this on the Red Tile" but his health is drained waaay too quickly and there's not enough Trash Mobs to heal him.
So instead I went for a "Block the Hordes of Trash Mobs" strategy which is why Phantom was so useful with his Clone to block an extra lane and also serve as bait for the -1Block Truck.
Yato S1 was also great here because it tears through trash mobs and has a long duration.

CrownSlayer does the least amount here but her few deploys are still important.
Her 1st deploy (2.38) she takes out a few enemies that would leak without her and Yes I mean specifically her. Texas can't replicate this, her skill doesn't last long enough for the last Snack cart CS sniped.
2nd deploy (3.34) didn't matter much this time cuz of how lucky I got with Executor RNG lol
The Final deploy (3.58) on One hand I think Yato may have been able to deal with this, but on the other I think if a Snack Cart was summoned it would immediately blow up the firework and then I'd lose so I'd say the CrownSlayer deploy was the best play I could make.

I don't have much to say about this stage tbh, this run makes me feel like a 3Op should be possible with how close I was to not needing CrownSlayer, but her 1st Deploy is super important taking out Two Snack carts, also a couple Trash mobs that could've only been taken care of by a delayed Executor skill activation.
Which means I'd have to rely on getting RNG as good or even better than in this video for later, and even then I still don't know how I'd deal with the Two Snack Carts...

Well anyways I hope you've enjoyed these CrownSlayer videos!!
I didn't even plan on doing any for her release because I genuinely couldn't think of stages where I'd use her over the competition, then surprisingly enough she ended up being one of the best Reapdeploy Operators for Low Op-ing a lot of this Events Stages!!

Thanks for reading my endless rambling :)
