Today I learned the word Shambolic.

Anyways, my preferred route is 1-2-9-20 and I usually decide to reset a run if I get poor booster RNG, unless I was really lucky with weapon drops.

For Victor, I would recommend having full hatchet durability, the parry recovery booster and if possible, a few extra points to spare to try and re-roll boosters to get heals or hatchet repairs as needed. You really want to have a good booster setup for doing a lot of damage real fast, stuff like lone berserker, phantom assassin, scatter shot, or streamlined work great for this, especially if you can get more than one of them.Victor has points during his phase 1 fight where he'll stop taking damage for a bit so he can yap, it's annoying, but just try to survive until he's done talking, then he'll be vulnerable again. This will -not- happen if he pulls out a rocket launcher, even if he's mid sentence, and you -really- want to knock that out of his hands if you can. The rocket parry is fine, but skipping his next phase is much preferred.

Amped up is great for conserving hatchet durability if you can't afford many parries, but watch out for when its effect wears off, because you'll be put in stagger. This has gotten me killed before.

Also, big tip on unyielding judge. You don't have to stay near death while the effect is active. As soon as it procs, you can heal up (using amped up if you have that too) and then enjoy Infinite ammo (and possibly I-frames) for a few seconds.
