Jessica Module Is Awesome

CR-EX-8 CM 3 Defender, No Items

Apparently Mateo waits 25s before the blue box, and while it's not normally useful because he'll spam invis off cd and stun your blockers, Jessica Alter's new module lets her reveal his Invis, turning the wait point into free DPS time. She also benefits a lot from the increased stats as a physical damage dealer and also tank.

The challenge mode this time is significantly harder than NM. Penance is hurt very badly by the 1.2x stats on these enemies (she cares a lot about enemy hp, atk AND def sadly), and the extra enemies are very meaningful - the extra Bodyguard in CM will immediately help Mateo break the center blockade, dramatically decreasing your DPS window. 2 operators with items isn't capable of handling either, but 3 ops with items felt very unsatisfying. I played this for a couple days, and this morning before uploading my three ops with items, I checked my recordings again and saw one of them had more promise than I remembered. As you can see by Penance's HP at the end, this is pretty much the limit.
