Arknights - Male Only Max Risk - CC7 Pine Soot

I'm sort of in shock right now. This really feels like its the culmination of Male Only for me. This is my new favorite clear (sorry CC3), and idk if I'll ever top the satisfaction I got when I beat this.

For this clear, the main rng element was that Phantom must stun the 2nd envy. There was smaller rng for the first envy (i.e. Hellagur needed to dodge the next bitey hit or Phantom needed to stun). Aak stunning the 2nd envy was funny, but as long as I time Aak/SA carefully enough, then its unnecessary. (Fun fact: I timed them wrong in this clear :D )

As for Free, oh boy. To be honest, I still have no clue if Hellagur could sustain himself permanently, or if I was just lucky in that he managed to survive with less than 70 hp multiple times. But in order to increase Hellagur DPS, I planned out the stall so he always gets hit by the last 3 Free hits. Also, to compensate for Mountain rng (where he reduces Free's attack), I cycled Castle-3 and Aak.

Risks:
Everything (Feels good to say that)
Defense increased Free
Color swapped Smarties
5 deployment limit
