PSO2 NGS: ARKS Record Quarterstaff

Stupid monkey is back, Not sure how to feel about this run. I think i could go a bit under 1:40 if i got some better Crit RNG on my pinion blades. After doing attempts for around 8 hours total after getting 1:42 it just isn't happening so ill leave it as this unless i do spur of the moment runs last second. Also no matter what i do the ever so lovely Ship 3 Cheaters in ARKS record will beat everyone anyways so how good i do means nothing in the grand scheme of things.

some things i guess:
-All 3 units are identical - Fixa Orgsys 5

-I should of casted Barta to at least gain on element damage with FW but kept thinking i'd be able to pull off a 3 sphere Megid - i didnt once in all my attempts. Its not worth it here.

-I decided to use T3 Roaring pheasent because T2, what i usually use does absolutely nothing here. The extra pinion accumulation really didn't do much i feel though

-I could of set up BAPS whenever engoku does his little fire swirl around him or stab but i didn't consider it during this run. Also not sure if its better to BAPS or continue harrier/shift out of it.

-Towards the end i use WA glide to gap close to engoku, this was a mistake. I could of used Raving falcon or stork though i dont think it mattered, maybe about 1-2 second time loss at worst. I noticed i was on pace for a new PB and panic'd.

-Techter sub used over Sl/Fi sub because PB conveniently comes off CD at the 1:30 mark with Techter sub, It does not come up in time with slayer or fighter sub so i see the added PB a more beneficial gain.

-I estimate i need really good Engoku RNG and 2-3 critical pinion blades to really go well past this time (with the first two pinions mattering the most as far as crits go). This is honestly the main factor for me keeping 1:42 and not going beyond. Its not fun resetting for Pinion crits so long.

-Engokus movement can kinda? be manipulated after it does its fire based attacks where it sidesteps afterwards. Either way copium or not i tried to position myself so that engoku would hop back into my fierce wave cast. (Its a pain to do and lots of runs died here)

-Speaking of Fierce wave - i think 2 can be used here with the second one being saved for the down. I just don't like resetting so much because engoku hops out of it. Not sure if going beyond 1 FW is a time loss or gain however.

-The attack where engoku jumps back and shoots a fire beam seems to be a loss of DPS/time since you have to gap close to it. It happened quite a bit here unfortunately. This attack can be BAPS out of with Harrier due to its lingering hitbox at least. You really want him to use the other version of this attack where he stands still.

-I dont want to look at another engoku ever again. Thank you for coming to my Estelle talk.
