0-3 X ranks and timesaving guide.

- **NOTE: THIS GUIDE DOES NOT COVER GLITCHES OR EXPLOITS FOR 0-3.**

- As of now (August 2023), there are only 2 weapons ingame, which will likely cause this guide to be useless once new weapons drop.

- This guide doesn't have any detailed timeframes (ex: attack parry frames), as it's still not clear what the numbers are.

# GENERAL INFO

- When fighting shotgunman, you will be faced with 3 main issues:

- Parrying ceirtan attacks.
- Knowing what runs are good.
- Style gain and combos.
Parrying shotgunman is the main way to deal damage, as it stuns him for X ammount of seconds (depends on the difficulty that you are in) and allows you to combo him for the duration of the stun. (note: blue flash = parryable attack, orange flash = blockable attack)
- Good runs can be determined by the time in the ingame rankings timer (can be toggled by pressing TAB and clicking rank stats) in which you get to ceirtan places.
For reference:
*Pressing both buttons before the timer reaches 9 seconds is a good run.
*Getting inside of the bossfight room before 16 seconds is a good run.
*Getting SHOTGUNMAN to half of his hp before 38 seconds is a good run.

# TIMESAVING AND SKIPS

- To get a good time, it is CRUCIAL that you:

1. Get to the bossfight room before the timer reaches 11 seconds.
2. 3-4 cycle SHOTGUNMAN.
3. Get SHOTGUNMAN to a third of his hp (33%) before the timer reaches 40+ seconds.
If all of these are met, you will get a time of around 38-46 seconds.

- To save time, you can use strategies that i have used in my run(s).
These are:

1. Use the skateboard for the button session. Build up speed in the loading screen or in the starting room (the ammount of speed you build up has to be enough where you get speed mode before or during the jump to the second button and not enough where you don't get speed mode on the stairs). During the jump to the second button, use the skateboard trick ability to make the jump without using the platforms, and rush straight to the boss room.
2. When fighting SHOTGUNMAN, the only attacks you should do when you parry him are:
Skateboard bash, lunge, million stab and shrapnel flurry. If all of these moves are on cooldown, use the skateboard sword m1s until you get them back.
The order you do these in is somewhat irrelevant, but I have gotten the best results with:
SB bash, Lunge and million stab, shrapnel flurry, SB m1, lunge and shrapnel flurry OR
Lunge, shrapnel flurry, million stab, SB bash, SB m1, shrapnel flurry.

- There are currently no skips for 0-3 as of today.

# DIFFICULTY EFFECTS

- Difficulties in BRICKBATTLER affect this bossfight by an underwhelming ammount, with the only changes being the time between the flashes and the attacks coming from SHOTGUNMAN and the speed at which he recovers from being stunned.
There are no specific times for how long he gets stunned for in each mode, but my guesses are:
Combat initiate: 8-10 seconds.
Warrior: 6-8 seconds.
Bloxxer: 4-5 seconds.
More effects from difficulties may be added later on when the game gets more updates.

# BEST POSSIBLE TIME

1. As of right now, the best time in each difficulty is:
31 seconds ingame (?? with cutscenes and start) by poweroff122 in the BLOXXER difficulty.

38 seconds ingame (50 seconds with cutscenes and start) by GatoNotHollow (me!!!) in the WARRIOR difficulty.
There is no current record for 0-3 in the COMBAT INITIATE difficulty (from what i know) as of right now.

I assume that sub-30 is possible, but ONLY in BLOXXER, due to you getting the 3X damage buff from the kinetic energy parry style more often, therefore doing more DPS.
My guesses for WARRIOR are that sub-38 is possible, but very difficult and requires extremely good RNG.



THE END.
I hope I brought some useful tips.
