I mean, there's always gonna be an "if", because luckily, there's no single strategy that's "the very best" and 100% effective for every single situation, even ignoring luck factor. Otherwise, the game would be too boring to be honest.

This stall team is almost unbleatable, "if the enemy doesn't have debuff removal", in which case you would need to try the variations with Arcueid or Beni Enma.

Or either min-turn and use supports as Santa Nightingale and Xu Fu to protect only your DPS.

Yeah, and if my Mom had balls, she would be my Dad 😂. Sometimes, saying "if" just ruined the validity of strategy, but that's just me.

You can go in with a plan, doesn't mean it will work the way you want. You only decide your moves, not the enemies.

I remember a certain fight you planned to fight with your backline Cu, and then never got to see him in the fight because things worked out different.

Yep, that's why I didn't bring it up. If you want to promote something, don't explain it too much. People will more doubt you more if you even doubt your own strategy with ifs, ands, and buts. Edit : Oh man, I'm saying too much if, ha ha 😂😂.

If the video works, it works. Sometimes you don't see the resets and fails. I've seen a fun L2 Barghest fight against Lion King in the Camelot singularity. Had several outtakes at the end. :D

"if" saying "if" invalidates a strategy, almost all boss battle strategies other than some min turn clears are invalid. The only things that would be valid are farming setups because they're guaranteed. In my own run with Illya, Miyu, and Castoria, I finished with a nearly full HP team, but "if" a few of Arjuna's targets were different, I would've failed. Doesn't make the strategy any less valid. Especially in a super recollection quest where the boss one shots pretty much everything. There's no battle I can think of where the boss's actions matter more.

Of course it makes it invalid. Imagine heavily relying on luck to win something. Just say that the strategy is worked or didn't worked. Don't complicated too much with "it works IF bla bla bla" or "IF the situation is different, then we can win".

That's quite ironic coming from someone who just posted a run using an Imperial Privilege user, which is the biggest "if" skill in the game......

Exactly, that's why I'm using Lan Ling Mask CC on him. I try to reduce "RNG" as much as I can. The same reason why I'm grailing Servants, maxing out their skills, leveling up craft essence, etc. I want to reduce RNG as well as giving me more room and flexibility in case things didn't go out as planned.

To be fair this team will work vs Super Arjuna Alter with almost 100% accuracy as long as you don't misplay.

The "if" that i initianlly mentioned, was just about Castoria reaching 200% NP Charge = 500% overcharge, in order to flex about it.

Something that's devinitively not totally essential to clear the run.
