NO MAGIC SPELLS FOR YOU!

Restrictions of the challenge run:

- This shall follow the New Chaos route in the game, and all battles participated in must be fought on the Expert difficulty setting.
- All bosses shall be fight in ascending order according to level, and any exp gain should be minimized where possible.
- Unless explicitly given to us in-game, the use of passwords are forbidden.
- For the sake of simplicity, the production and use of the "March to Death" sub-app is prohibited.

My accumulated Chaos points allowed me to take Zelenin's offer and still remain chaos, so I didn't have to get extra exp from either Grendel or Ryan, and just had her sing her song.

...It felt gross and wrong.

So yeah, Maya, oof. Her being weak to gun skills means we can rack up some pretty hefty damage fairly quickly, but by that same token, she can deal outright crippling damage back to us, especially with Ultraviolence. Her Evil Vortex has a pretty low Stone affliction rate, so no real issues there, but her Gate spells are absolutely terrifying. If one of the party members gets hit with one that they're weak to, they're dead, even at max allowable buffs. I actually managed to kill her, but she had already killed Moloch with Bufu Gate that turn, so I had to reset.

I miss a bit thanks to Illusory Ritual, but I don't want to use Mitama fusion quite yet, so no Dekaja for me.
