It Took 3 Years To Think Of This | 7-18 3★ Only Clear

Clearly, Steward skin is the reason 3* player can achieve this. The only difference between now and 2-3 years ago

[@blitzrohan]

clearly, it was because Noir Corne got promoted to a 3★, he's been training for the monhun collab

Honestly low key this could be the reason for some clears, don't know ab anyone else but Maggie's frame data changes w her skin lol

Clear was done by CN Player Breeze. Thanks to Breeze for giving me permission to reupload to youtube. (Link to the original clear on Bilibili in the description) 2+ years ago the only theoretical solution to Patriot was an extremely precise, unpredictable block shift that let you put Patriot on a tile he wouldn't normally walk to. Normally his true damage aura is so large it will hit whoever's diagonal to him but with this precise block shift it won't quite reach. This was then followed up with a 2 Medic + Spot on Cardigan stall with incredibly precise skill timings that lasted for a very long time. Of course these factors made it pretty much impossible to replicate consistently and after a really long time after someone finally did succesfully perform the strategy it was considered a once in a lifetime clear. Nowadays 3* players are considerably better at the game, and especially at actually fighting bosses and elites. From the theory crafting of a bunch of CN players a solution on how to kill Patriot without stall was made, which resulted in this run. Not only do we have a proper replicatable solution for Patriot now, but it cut down the op count from 13 all the way down to 10. The fact that we had 0 new ops since Patriot's release, yet still managed to make a breakthrough, is what makes this clear stand out to me, and is one of the many things I love about 3* Only. This clear is major to 3* players cause it reminds us that even if we get 0 new operators that doesn't change the fact that our actual skill and gameplay are changing over time. The best way to describe it is we've become a lot less afraid of fighting difficult mobs with our low dps. Many bosses nowadays have some sort of anti-stall like Degenbrecher or "Awaken" yet we have no issue fighting them. I know for a fact that if we fought those bosses 2-3 years ago we would've all been so terrified of them.

How long did this clear take from the idea? I’m surprised that lancet wasn’t used for extra healing and lance bait, though that was probably one of the cut operators. The weird thing about this clear is that it doesn’t look that complicated, it’s just spam all dps ops in the first phase with precise mine placement and redeploy for 2nd phase. I think the hardest part would be cutting out ops. Was it just that no one tried?

[@maruharu3365]

I'm curious, do you have a Discord server for your community? Or are planning to make one?

[@dedemastra1799]

That last paragraph needs to be shouted out more! Hyped so much when watching how smooth this run looks like. Really giving a look about how elegant hardwork and repetition, dexterity and accuracy, focus and preparation. Why the level up item is called battle records.

[@ILoveAmiya]

@@georgezhang1573 From what I know only a few days. This clear doesn't look complicated because, well, it isn't complicated (Although phase 1 mine dps on Patriot is more precise than it looks). No one really tried dps'ing Patriot for a long time due to the fact that no one really thought of it as being a feasible option + it already got beaten with stall 2 years ago so people put efforts elsewhere. I believe it was seriously considered after I did my Dobermann Squad clear of CM where I did just DPS him down with Dobermann S2, which led to people trying the strat out without Dobermann.

I can't believe Breeze was able to do this. I should promote her past E2 and have her replace me as Doctor of Rhodes Island.

[@HittingBandy]

Patriot: "What the hell is this? How am I getting beaten back?!" Doberman in the background, smiling: "Hardwork and training."

[@einhasad7]

For me the craziest part was Spot at 4:38. We are so used to using complicated tools that I would've never thought that a defender on that tile could hold those enemies together with the device explosion

[@toxictrapper4955]

Everyone fixates on the next shiny 6* who will break the game in so many different ways but theses guys... Man I don't know what to say, I just hope AK gets more 3* units to help 3* doctors
