Hi everyone, it's been a while!
I wanna start off by talking about the reason why I wasn't uploading the past few days; that's because I was grinding TN-2 spectacular with vanguards only, and I couldn't for the life of me get a clear because of how much micromanagement this needed and how the smallest mistake could end the run, I ended up recording over 50 failed attempts, with each attempt being over 15min long over the span of 5 or 6 days (I legit lost count)

Anyway about the clear, I will start off by Tola's wave, the trash mobs are no big deal so it's a matter of stalling the boss... Tola is easily stallable by 4 Operators: 1 body to block, Ines to steal ASPD, Myrtle for healing, and Puzzle for DPS, with the important detail of having 1 Operator with their back to the dark to make tola stop attacking and use his skill

Next is the Bloodknight and this is where things get hard, all enemies on the right side have high DEF and high ATK, but in the end as long as I kept an eye on the Axemen, trash enemies were not an issue, the real problem is the boss himself, with 3.7k ATK in phase 2 there are only 2 Operators who can take 1 hit and survive (Bagpipe and Poncirus). The solution I came up with is to sandwich the boss between vigil dogs and 1 OP since the SP buff will allow Vigil with S1 to keep up the dog head count, the OP I went for is Bagpipe because she can survive 1 hit with skill active + zima (with only 30HP left) So that was my opportunity to burst down the boss because he doesn't have damage reduction vs the unit blocking him. (Note that at 6:05 I mistakenly activated Bagpipe thinking the boss had already stunned the dogs, I was so lucky to have the boss attack just barely before the skill ends). On top of that Ines ASPD steal made sure the boss doesn't immediately attack bagpipe after stunning the dogs, instead he summons the bloodblades first (Effectively shifting his rotation to a more favourable cycle), which gives bagpipe and zima enough time to charge their SP back.

I thought beating the Bloodknight would be the end of it but I was severely wrong, the Damazti was a lot more annoying and chaotic, since it was a race against time with all the corrosion, I needed to defeat them before my DEF reaches 0, it also involved a lot more RNG
As usual trash mobs were not an issue, it's a matter of managing the damazti clones (I still fucked up in this run). Appearently vigil S1 with SP buff can hold 1 clone indefinitely, so I ended up holding 1 clone with Grani and another with Poncirus, the rest was just praying for dodge RNG and activating skills at the right time.
At 9:05 it was important to retreat Grani to have her come back with full DEF when the boss revives
At 9:12 it was important to retreat Bagpipe a little early but not too early, just enough for her to redeploy in time without the boss dying too close to Poncirus.
My biggest mistake that caused the ending to be so scuffed is that I was late to activate Zima at 12:00 which caused Blacknight to die (she was supposed to be the 4th clone bait). Damazti ended up stealing Vigil instead which means there's no one to block the top left clone except myrtle
The zima activation at 12:40 was me grasping at straws trying to save the run and it ended up being the correct decision because that helped bagpipe survive the corrosion (Oh yeah and I almost threw the run at 12:43 XD)

The final recording is a little over 17min
