How to pilot the route

01

Learn the Rapier timing

Confirm reach, commitment and recovery in safe rooms before building around aggressive uptime.

02

Keep defense functional

Do not remove the route's safe response merely to reach a reported combo count.

03

Audit each combo

Open the current combo panel and check that Sturdy, Precision or Wind Song is actually active after every rebuild.

FIELD NOTE

Practical pivots

No Flashing Rapier

Keep the strongest functioning Rapier line and redirect spare space toward survival or a proven secondary effect.

Read field note

Precision is weak

Do not force critical support before attack uptime and defensive timing are stable.

Read field note

Wind Song pieces conflict

Use the package that activates cleanly rather than preserving an inactive target count.
