The whole Yuan Shao section where I destroy everything is one of my favorite parts that I've already rewatched several times, and instantly killing Yuan Shu was great, hehe (I wasn't even trying, the fastest manipulation I found just happened to do that).
Ma Chao saying "Such a small army can't possibly defeat us" before the battle was fitting too, but even more before redoing it with Wen Hun (
really!).
Getting Huang Zhong on the way out would be about 2 seconds faster ... but he'd get Liu Feng's inventory instead of Guan Ping's, and I'd be missing the Silver Key until I get Wen Hun (right after I need it), so this won't work. (and I don't think I'd redo this all over again ...)
In other news, it's raining heads again:
Cao Pi defeated (3:54 ahead)
With only Si Ma Yi left, this should be the last one before I finish and submit. Cao Pi's second battle was just about the hardest to manipulate, and I redid it a few times, but I finally got something that looked good (Lu Sun with 255 agility is definitely helping)!
- I skipped the Crossbow, and got the Nu Long instead. This seemed to help a lot more than I expected, as it only took a few battles to regain the 17 seconds it cost, before even getting An Sha (and it's still useful after)
- I get Tai Si Ci and Lu Sun a little farther than before (after Zhang Liao). There's a Wu encounter area just 2 steps out of the way, in a longer path that's much easier to manipulate with short delays, so it's faster there. I'm not so sure about the gains/losses from the other changes this caused (2 battles with less characters, no TP left for Ji Mian against Cao Pi 2), but it seems fine.
