As of upload date, this should also be 2nd place for this gun. I'd say 2x High Focus were the MVPs this run, letting me effectively snipe whatever I wanted. The main downside of the Solomon compared to the Victoria, just 4 firepower, was very quickly overcome this run with some early firepower pickups, so the build got quite strong even a few rounds in. The Bodyguard white card combined with the two additional knight cards I accidentally picked up were a very unfortunate combo, and cost me at least 2 seconds on the final boss alone when reinforcement knights showed up and delayed my boss kill. My strategy is basically "pick the top cards if I like them, and pick the bottom cards without looking if not" which is good for speedy choices but can get you some stinky combos or outright end your run sometimes.

Copy-pasted short review from my other video:
Shotgun King is a really fun roguelike chess game, I thought the powers and balancing of them were all really well done. The achievements kinda suck, though, winning with arbitrary sets of 3 cards is a RNG grindfest as you can go several runs without seeing a set. At least trying to quickly reset runs to maximize chances at sets got me faster at playing the game, so it was kinda speedrun practice.
