Good luck SKKs. This area will almost certainly and unironically prove harder than Core8 if CN Theater 8 is to be followed. If you have Type97S, SPAS, or 512 maxed (and possibly oathed), then congrats you've got a SG that makes it into high CE stacks and can be used to make things way more comfy. Take advantage of the Electronic Battle effect (i.e. sack dolls if necessary), because it certainly seems like this effect was factored into the wave compositions this time. Wave 6 is PTSD hell for those of you who did FP ranking/UX difficulty campaign. (If you didn't, well good luck, this is a harsh wake-up call, RF Nytos have a skillshot that ignores armor, pierces through like Hanyang lasers but with a stupidly and not obviously bigger hitbox because i guess they just fire entire artillery shells at you or smth, and do ~150 damage) Wave 4 is also notably more difficult than waves 1-3 and 5 due to the 3x Cherub/2x Hannibal.
Today's optimal scoring (assumes all objectives): Advanced 8 twice.
If you can't clear Adv8, then in order of highest to lowest copium scores:
Adv6/Int8 (whichever CE stack is higher, but if you can clear Adv6 regardless of CE, run that once since support bonus is there), then Ele8
Today's scoring calculations as follows:
Adv8 first run: (54000 + CE) * 2
Adv8 second run: (54000 + CE)
Adv6 first run: (36000 + CE) * 1.2
Adv6 second run: (36000 + CE) * 0.6
Int8: [same as Adv6 second run]
Ele8: (18000 + CE) * 0.6
Personal CE stack for this area: 42595, game counted 42594
