#Interplay of heaven and nihilism

[krawlernyannyan]

Starting my Swarm Disaster runs for the evening. Goals at this point:

Run through 2 Trotter Domains

Enter Combat-type Domains consecutively a bunch of times

I'm going with Remembrance for my first run of the night, because if I run into any Trotter beacons or combat domains I can just use Recollection to copy them and get through my missions quicker. Difficulty III, because even though I unlocked Difficulty IV last night there's no shot I'm ready for that brutality.

Got a nice lineup of blue blessings right out of the gate, with a nice combo of "Ultimates can inflict Ice Weakness" and "Weakness Breaks are inflicted onto adjacent enemies".

Had a nice streak in the first plane where I had triple Elite domains with Trotters in them, which took out the Trotter mission right away.

Had the Wind Shear centaur for the first boss, which is natively weak to Ice (and the bonus was inflicting True Sting with Ice Weakness) so of course I went for that one. Easy time of it, plus I grabbed a Dissociation-inflicting gold blessing for the win.

Thanks to lucky die rolls I was able to skip past almost the entirety of the second plane, only having to play a Combat domain and an Adventure domain (a barrel-busting game I full-cleared with Bronya).

Fought Kafka as the second boss, and things got real dicey since I didn't have a lot of easy ways to clear Suggestion/Brainwash like I usually do (just Luocha and March's shields). Pela almost died at a couple points but thankfully I was able to beat her with no deaths.

Got the Remembrance/Hunt Interplay at the start of the third plane. I'd only gotten one Path Resonance upgrade at that point but it's a small bonus.

Got the Trotter Heaven adventure in the third plane, which netted me another Dissociation buff plus a healing Curio.

After that Adventure Domain I wound up copying the Transaction tile before the boss twice due to die rolls, which is at least an extra 50% EHR for the final fight.

Having skipped most of the second plane I was worried I would be underpowered for the True Sting fight, but (despite some really close calls and its inherent Freeze resistance) I managed to pull through, completely avoided its group bombardment attack too!

That's my second clear in Difficulty III, meaning I've done it with Nihility and Remembrance now. Getting the Pathstrider goal for Trotters earlier unlocked a new goal for Adventure domains, which I'm already 2/3 done with!
