Core route

Start with Colossal Crossbow, take Unstable Lightning Mark and commit when Minigun appears. The formal-release videos treat Weapon Action Barrage as the engine; the Bilibili author builds Guardian around it so damage does not immediately outrun the character's shield.

  • Character: Scholar Pig or Scholar Lizard
  • Talent baseline: 20 Luck, 10 Wit and 10 Guard
  • Weapon path: Colossal Crossbow into Unstable Lightning Mark into Minigun
  • Combo targets: Guardian, Precision and Magic Engineering

Recommended package

The detailed difficulty-60 notes use the item translated there as Tea Bag, whose current 1.0.25 English name is Pouch of Black Tea, plus Lucky Medal. The same source allocates 20 Luck, 10 Wit and 10 Guard, then suggests 10 Rage when points allow. These are the creator's route choices, not a universal breakpoint verified by this site.

  • Carry items: Pouch of Black Tea and Lucky Medal
  • Talent baseline: 20 Luck, 10 Wit and 10 Guard
  • Optional talent: 10 Rage

Substitutes and pivots

A non-Scholar character can use Brass Mirror Fragments to reduce special-attack MP cost. The creator also calls Planet and physical packages viable Minigun pivots, so do not force Magic Engineering if the run is already offering a coherent alternative.

How to pilot it

Hold fire during safe damage windows, then stop or reposition while Guard rebuilds. On difficulty 60 the author still recommends dodging major attacks; the route is forgiving, not invulnerable.

Failure conditions and limits

The written notes say Bloodstone is a poor fit for this particular package. The route also degrades when special-attack MP cost is unsolved or outgoing damage grows faster than the shield loop. Exact coefficients and the full inventory were not reproduced by this site.
