#she just sit down on that tile and casually rips this stage apart

I tried the Penance Solo strat for 7-18 for the heck of it (well, nearly solo, I used one Surtr to chomp down half of phase 1 Patriot, but that’s it) and...it was honestly shocking how easy it was. My Penance is E2LV59, and her S3 only has M1, and it chewed through Patriot like nothing. Didn’t even reach her actual health bar.

Like, that is weird, because like, yeah you could cheese 7-18 pretty easily for a while now, or at least a part of it. Like, at this point most players know that if you have Mountain or Mudrock, you can just place them in front of the blue box and all you needed to worry about was Patriot and maybe the guys that come swarming in between phases. 

But, like, that was the thing. Even with operators that could “solo” 7-18 before, you still needed to pay a lot of attention to Patriot himself. You needed to find a way to get him down to phase 2 as fast as possible, and made sure that whatever skills you had were ready to go the second his invincibility went down so you could take him down as quick as possible because with his aura and spear throw every second Patriot is still alive is bad fucking news for your entire party.

But Penance? Just make sure you have him at phase 2 by the time he reaches her, pop S3, and he’s gone. The damage even at mastery 1 is just fucking insane. No mines for extra damage, no worries about the aura eating up health, just let the Judge bonk him on the head for a couple second and boom. Done. His aura actually makes things easier because Penance gets her skill back in like, five seconds. So you don’t even have to time it.

It isn’t brainless, but geez. This stage is a fucking nightmare for any player encountering it for the first time. It took me twenty tries to cinch it myself. Even veterans can struggle with it if they slip up. But with Penance? No fucking problemo mio amico, not a single fucking problem.
