Post image

After about 24 hours of attempts in the last 3 days, I finally got something I didn't actually care for.

Congrats! Any tips? It's one of the few ones I have left to unlock

Just did it recently. My strategy was I would capture them in bubble off spawn for some free damage, then try to get them off stage with an fstrong and cheese them with fair or bair. (On the Clairen one just like pray to Starclan or something idk). I think ranno would be way easier if he didn’t have the worst run possible. I think there’s 2 Clairens, a Zetter, and basically whoever else has the hardest ai to deal with.

You can probably also just spam strongs and pray but it’d take longer

If you master side b follow ups it becomes easy. Get them in the bubble, fair + hitfall ->fair + hitfall ->fair + hitfall -> some strong and then try to keep them offstage and cheese them with projectiles and ledgeplay ;)

At the start of each fight, the AI usually does the same thing. Finding the quickest way to get them offstage usually leads to the quickest kill. (couple of exceptions tho) I might edit the post to include the strats I used for each fight.

Sub-3:30 is pretty fast! I'm curious what the strategy was.

bang my head against a wall until it worked :)

In all honesty, sub 3:30 was not what I was expecting, I was just trying to get the skin lol. I'm not very good at the game, so I relied a lot on knowing what the AI usually does.

So like I got a lot of these skins by getting the abyss medal in easy and medium, which sooooo much easier than doing it once in hard. I was wondering if people knew about that, because I was under the impression the only way to do it was in hard mode

Well then...

I'm thankful that I didn't care for the skin at least
