RS-EX-8 CM 3 Defender Only
Normal mode is an extremely easy 2 op clear (tons of placements and skill cycles work). CM opening in contrast is very difficult (both the condition and 1.2x stats make it much harder). It was an interesting challenge that made me use niche mechanics like lighting heaters after Harold casts heal to buy more heater time, and resetting enemy attack intervals by lighting heaters for more Penance SP.
Unfortunately there is no way to beat phase 2. 1.2x stats means Penance can't solo the mobs, and there's no room to play around with the second phase strategy. Furthermore, even if I did kill all the mobs, Harold can only be tanked by using Mudrock S3, but this means I can't guarantee Icicle rain when Mudrock S3 is off CD. In NM without 1.2x ATK Mudrock easily tanks Harold Phase 2 (CM Phase 1 hits harder than NM Phase 2) and her auto attacks do large amounts of damage (CM has 1.2x DEF)
In CM, Mudrock does about 30x more damage to the boss on skill compared to offskill, so naively the probability that Harold will drop icicle rain from Mudrock normal attacks is less than 3%, which needs to happen 3 times in a row for a ~0.0027% chance of success. But there are a couple minor degrees of freedom that can be tweaked that might increase the odds: Mudrock can slightly adjust the timing of her S3 depending on the number of shields, and Penance can do min damage auto attacks on Harold. Furthermore, the number of shields has some variability since Harold will sometimes do a ranged attack as Mudrock wakes up (this is a 1/3 probability). Without exhaustively testing all possibilities and excessively spread sheeting Harold's HP, it's hard to say it's impossible, but I can't defeat the mobs anyways. If I could I'd have to consider whether or not I want to grind 40 minute runs exploring all the possibilities knowing that there's less than a 0.05% chance (accounting for potential cycle adjustments and Penance autos and rounding up) that a winning solution even exists and that's just uegh.
Anyways I just added Blemishine and called it a day. Normal mode is too easy since Harold can't get past Mudrock anymore and her autos easily chip him down, while Penance trashes on all the mobs.
