hello hello, been on recovery from severe astarion brainrot, it's been awhile.
it's the last cc, and therefore, my last risk18 ;_; i know for many they're glad that it's over but tbh i loved how it functioned as a measure to see how far i've come not only with chracter growth but my growth as a player. cc8 was my first to dip my toes in, i couldn't clear the permanent stage but i was able to clear the daily stages. that pushed me to having more faith in my abilities. cc9 is where i started with my first risk 18, took me some days but i didn't want to give up. cc10 brought it down to 2 days to risk 18 and then cc11 came and it truly was the easiest, even i could tell. i loved it tho because i could take advantage of my favorite ops like passenger, gnosis due to block -2 tag. best risk 10/10. and now here we are. this clear took me 6 hours and a friend. we literally spent 6 whole hours super analyzing which ops would work, trying to make sure proper timing of skills worked out. it was a cool bonding moment. when i had to finally put it into practice, i was so nervous, accidently put out skadi's seaborn on the wrong op, i was supposed to retreat mon3ter but i never did. when goldenglow's boyfie decided to rollup on mon3ter ofc he 2-shotted it but BUT HE DEALT ENOUGH DAMAGE BEFORE HE EXPLODED AND KILLED HIM. i was STUNNED. i was like, IS THIS IT? and then BAM here i am. the perfect sendoff for an amazing event. :>
