I started running this game really recently. First full "speed run" was 2 hours 40 min after an embarrassing number of Mysterious Lady fails which I won't be submitting.
I have a few questions about the run, as I've only been learning through the two runs Blazephlozard has submitted.
For whether to go Turnip/Hunk Bump before Haunted Hause, I think Turnip/Hunk Bump makes more sense. Haunted House has more damage duels which is better with more cards, especially the guaranteed Mama & Son DX.
Not 100% on whether to go Science Lab or Bear Mine first. I think Bear Mine first especially if alchemizing Anna Ban since Bear Mine has damage battles. Definitely Science Lab before Camping Ground b/c of Iji DX.
Can you sell me on Heart/Esi/Jenny Tiger/Young Lichious Turnip? I'm not a huge fan of any of these cards. I've been trying to do 5x Really 5x Alice as much as possible in the endgame and those arrows don't really match. Although I like using Esi, it doesn't work with those two cards. I guess Young Turnip acts as additional Iji DXs, but I feel like having 3x would clutter the deck and board, especially with Anna Ban. Having at least 1 does make sense since Mysterious Lady has the annoying Princess Pitch DX. Is Heart really that good? Looks like a poor man's Jenny Deer.
If you have a Haja at Science Lab, I think it's well worth it to alchemize an Anna Ban with Haja + uncommon(I think).
It's not written in the notes but Blazephlozard you did it in your runs. It's better to hit Esc to speed animations to 2x before tutorial right?
I feel like I've been disabling much more than your notes. Since damage is usually faster than disabling, I'll definitely try to start prioritizing that a little more.
Thanks so much for uploading your routes!
