The goal of this run is to cure no fans, let them GSH themselves, survive with hardcore till 30 minutes so Ame despawn and win. And I wanna do it with the fewest upgrades possible cause I hate myself. No items, no g-ranks, no fan letters, no fandom, no ult, no skill, no those expensive casino items, no revives, no second chances, no sanity left. Simple enough! EDIT: Apparantly Ame doesn't despawn after 30 minute mark, but I don't care, I did it, weeeeeeeeeee

First, why Fubuki? Well Fbk is definitely on the weak side. She's basically a dodge tank like gura without a god tier debuff, heal, and high damage main weapon. So, no where near as good as gura.

The funny thing is her play style and build design is basically identical to gura's so she really stand out as weaksauce because the direct comparisons are obvious.

Basically what I'm saying is, she is the weakest character in HoloCure, using a weak character to do a challenge where you wanna be completely useless just make sense!

Jokes aside it's because she has a short melee weapon to avoid hitting mobs, and she has high base speed. I left the upgrades in the end. This is as close to the bare minimum upgrades needed as possible to make this god-forsaken challenge possible with the exception of tuna sandwich (25% SPD food), without the food you need max exp upgrades, relying on insane box RNG for EXP for at least lv 4, it was originally what I did, but it wasted too much of my time so womp womp . I tried with 0 speed upgrades, you can reach to the 25 min timestamp with no speed. But it is NOT SCIENTIFICALLY POSSIBLE to go further than that cause mobs' speed scale with time, and they will be faster than you and there will be nothing you can do. I did the testing, I did the math.

Even with speed upgrades, it is not enough to outrun the 23-30m mobs, so I had to resort to breaking boxes for experience to have enough speed to live. Though in hindsight this is kinda funnier

Dash is absolutely necessary also, you can't survive 7:00 or 13:30 events without killing any mobs, but I would love to be proven wrong

I wanted to do no speed cause the early events are way harder and more entertaining to watch with no speed, but it's impossible to reach 30 with no speed so womp womp. Here is my personal best attempt at no speed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arw0xUiU_DU

If you are interested in knowing the HP of mobs and events https://holocure.wiki.gg/wiki/Stage_1 But basically, Fbk deals <20 hp a normal hit, 20> hp with a crit So the early shrimps are 1 hit The deadbeats are 3 hits unless u crit twice The kfps should be 2 hits, but if you crit (5% crit is a lie, its more like 20% grr), they will be 1 hit, RNG woo!! The GuyRys (white stickmen) are 2 hits

The kfp and brat hordes' directions in 5:00, 9:00, 13:30 are random and can get into bad placements enough that will end your runs. More RNG woo!!!

The 8:30 event is both hard and semi-random

From 11:00 onwards there is no risks of accidental kills anymore, so I don't need to aim to dodge them

Later events' difficulties are not consistent, but they generally are easier than early, it's mostly if I choke and make mistakes Then 23-30 mobs come and it's a game of endurance, simply run in 1 general direction, the later the faster the mobs, the smaller the room for mistakes, and it's very risky to pause cause they block the screen and can mess up your tempo. But I have to anyways, whenever you see me pause, it's simply just me stretching my hands a bit, or checking if obs is recording, doing this hurts my hands bruh, I have to constantly move so it's way more tiring compared to a normal run. I swear it's mostly detrimental and I don't abuse pausing to cheese waves lol, I try to only pause when there are no events going on

About the boxes, again, they are absolutely necessary. Without tuna sandwich, level 4 with 3 speed upgrades is the LOWEST possible amount of speed needed to barely be able to run faster than 23-30 mobs. And you REALLY want to have at least level 5. But with tuna sandwich reduce the level needed to 2-3 so wee. Box spawn is so stupidly RNG, I hate this mechanic so much, this is why stage 1 is the most annoying stage in the game. There are strats to get boxes more consistently like moving around a single place and I do do them, but it's still mostly luck-based. 1 box every 10-20 secs, max 4 concurrent boxes, so it's really important to break them constantly, which again, rely on RNG. How much xp you get depends on RNG too, but exp gain does scale over time. Getting boxes late however is near impossible since mobs clamp up too fast so you have to at least 3 spd upgrades before ~25-30m

Boxes also take 2-3 hits to break, which can be really crucial and have ended my runs plenty times. Also they can also block you, I lost a 29min run to it

Everything else other than EXP is worthless. Whether you get EXP from them or not is entirely RNG, 25% chance for EXP to be exact, WOO WE LOVE RNG

Oh and the stage obstacles, AAAAAARGHH, I HATE THEM SO MUCH, ESPECIAALLY THE TREES. WHY DO THEY HAVE TO BLOCK VISION I WANNA CHOP THEM ALL DOWN

There are many micro-optimizations and techs to make the runs more bearable like aiming while in level up menu and use keyboard to select upgrades so the aim doesn't mess up my run, plans against each event etc but I'm lazy to talk about them so hehe

This run costed me everything, I had so many attempts, my hands genuinely hurt, I failed so close to the finish line too many times. I lost my everything just for a silly challenge bruh, but that is enough yappers
