HI3 EX MA SSS Huodou [39826/47792] HR(SSS) RC JK(SS1)

9Lives & Thaumaturge - Famine

SS1 JK with my atk is not strong enough to 808 - I can't kill P1 with just 2 HR cannon shots. It's literally like a tiny sliver of HP away even on a good run, feelsbadman.

P1 is imo the hardest part - positioning matters a lot both for RC sp and getting the HR evade. You need a tiny bit of delay somewhere at the start for RC otherwise the evade will be too early - this should be sometime before the RC purple combo, because if you wait to evade after the purple combo you'll waste uptime on cez and lose dmg. Purple combo should go straight into evade, then special weap atk - the evade should proc after you've already started the special atk (and it will fill yellow bar instead of purple if done correctly).

Most people evade away from the boss on RC because it makes the fire puddle positioning easier, but I go towards the boss instead because that makes you way more likely to get full hits on the RC spinny atk - which gives you a lot more SP and makes the transition far more forgiving. Also gives a tiny bit extra dmg, which can help.

To get the HR evade off right you essentially need the JK QTE and HR swap to already be inside the puddle. The puddle has a long delay after you step in it before it starts burning you, so you need to trigger that very early. If you see HR start taking dmg from the puddle (29 dmg tics) then you're good to go for the evade.

With 3S sus you can drop one of the HR cannon shots and get 47808. Dropping one either before or after the HR evade both work - doing charge evade charge weap I think is slightly faster, but harder to do consistently because you need the puddle to start hitting you even earlier. Charge charge evade weap works perfectly fine too.

I find the transition pretty easy, but YMMV. Lots of people compain about this part lol. I do most of the evades on HR, with just a quick rot through RC/Sus to put down the shooty crystal thing (idk if that matters) and get the JK weap active off early. I go for 10 evades here (I missed the first one), and I believe up to 12 is possible. You really don't need that many if you come out of P1 with enough sp though - I had 9 excess SP before RC ult, so I could have missed 4 more and still been fine.

P2 theres really only 1 thing that matters and can go wrong, and that's the HR evade right before her ult. There's some weird boss timing going on here - essentially after the JK ult you need the boss to stand up and start shooting that purple ball thing before you swap to HR. Sometimes it does it right away (like in this run) and sometimes you kinda have to wait for it. You can either wait a fraction of a second after the JK ult but before you charge. Or you can do the charge and then just sit and wait a little before swapping to HR. It's only a very short extra delay, but if you rush everything asap then most likely you wont get the HR evade. Also sometimes the boss just wont stand up and shoot it at you at all - no amount of waiting can save that. Idk if that's boss ai rng, or a positioning thing or what, but seemed pretty random.

Life’s great when you have an early Shameless reference 😩

This boss is literal cancer. It requires too much attention to detail to pull off a good run. :/
In that regard, you're a legend to be able to pull off something this onerous.
