Marut (Lightning) 530D 815Pts | ME (S0+1) HLE (S0+1) WoP (S0+2) | Redlotus Abyss [HI3 v8.9]

I HATE THIS BOSS I HATE THIS BOSS I HATE THIS BOSS AKSDHLKAFHLA Idk if it's just me massively skill-issuing, but the HLE Weapon timing at the start has to be the most annoying/inconsistent one in the game, no? Older run (ME/HLE/LP):    • Marut (Lightning) 526D 799Pts | ME (S0+1) ...   Disable HLE QTE for this run. Also, disable ME's manual Accented Staccato ("Aftershadow" in Character Skills → Evasion) if the SEQ 3 connect is messing up the transition for you. === Phase 1 === At the start, use HLE's Weapon Skill at the same time as the 3rd warning buzz. The hit-count on the left side of the screen must show "1" before firing ULT, otherwise it means her stig buff did not trigger. Due to how early HLE's Weapon/ULT are in the run, WoP's QTE won't trigger from using them, so you have to input a Basic ATK w/ HLE so it triggers from the Time Fracture. If you have Youyun, enter SO right after ME's Combo ATK Replicate (0:30); with Songque, use Evasion → Replicate → Basic ATK to get the missing AR Intensity. For the 1st SO rotation (0:33), do Phantom 1 → Combo ATK + Replicate → Phantom 2 → Basic ATK SEQ 3–4 + Replicate 3x → ULT + Replicate. This is overkill by ~1/2 HP bar, but I couldn't really come up w/ a cleaner rotation that was faster than this due to how long Basic Replicate 3 is. === Transition === In the transition phase, you'll want to farm as much AR as you can such that you're at least at Surplus 1 by the time you use ME's Combo ATK in Phase 2. This is pretty straightforward with Youyun, but somewhat gimmicky w/ Songque AOp as you'll want to trigger all 3 Stellar Drains before Phase 2 & have ME make the most of WoP's 16-stack AR regen buff. For this, swap to HLE right after you finish ME ULT (0:57) and use Weapon Skill + ULT to gain 2 AR from each of them + 20 AR from Stellar Drain. Additionally, if the Weapon Skill hits a target (slightly unreliable) you'll get another +2 from Songque's AOp Skill, which might make or break the run. Then, you'll want to extend WoP's QTE duration all the way until the 1st Seed throw. To do this, use HLE Basic ATK when the camera perspective changes, swap to ME via QTE and use Replicate QTE. When the 1st seed is thrown, walk INTO it (i.e., opposite direction of the throw), evade w/ ME and QTE-swap to WoP. If done correctly, this should make WoP's QTE attack miss the seed. Hit the seed with Combo ATK to trigger Stellar Drain & give ME the 16-stack AR buff. Break it w/ WoP Weapon Skill for the +2 AR from Songque before swapping to ME. Then, you'll have to run as fast as you can towards the next seed throw. From here on, the transition is the same as last time: Evade 3rd and 4th seed throw w/ ME and break them w/ Replicate Evade → Basic ATK. This will naturally consume all 16 stacks of WoP's AR-regening buff. For the 5th throw, evade it w/ ME and swap to HLE so you can break it at the same time you trigger the last Stellar Drain. === Phase 2 === For Phase 2, swap to WoP and use her ULT when the boss shows up in the air to make sure ME's QTE is triggered. Swap to her and enter SO after Combo ATK Replicate. SO rotation for Phase 2 is basically identical to Phase 1, only difference is i needed to sneak in two quick Basic ATKs: one when breaking the Nihilus Shell (1:58) and another right before ULT (2:06) to get the HP in the right spot for a clean kill.
