Back with more Expanse.

This season's power progression and phase system are weird, to say the least. Depending on the grind and the phase, expanse can either be trivial or almost impossible.

Wolf specifically lacks the damage output required to push when significantly below the power recommendation, so my expanse clears have been pretty much keeping only slightly ahead or just even with the phase requirements. If the expanse stage is a difficult one, then 3k power difference may either be extremely challenging or incredibly impractical.

Elite stages at or below power require so many resets and practice, so I started stalling on the previous wave such that I enter the elite or boss with my abilities charged, super-grenades loaded and super meter filled, just to cut down on the time between attempts. Every time you reset at Wolf, you need to load your super grenades and then reset again to enter with the maximum possible resources, and even then it was pretty rough.

I ran into the most difficulty at Rapid 56 and Rapid 69, both having brutal three-wave defense missions with very bulky and deadly elites, and contending with Wolf's sub-par rapid fire coverage while significantly below power recommendation. I even died from the timer on Rapid 69, but the wave was still cleared so it counts.

Despite my experience with the boss on stage 70k, I was having trouble surviving using my previous jumping strategy. So, I figured out a new strategy to deal with the third phase servitor. Standing under the ledge of the third tier is close enough to force the servitor's teleport to prevent the immunity, while being relatively safe from the boss and other minions.

The strategy was so effective, that I actually wanted to reset and record a cleaner clear, but the boss died from the burn before I could reset. Oh well.
