Love that this is all pastebin Strats. One thing I would like to add about Crush Helm: Paladins can help the healers out by using Cover on their cotank before the first hit of Crush Helm goes off, because all 8 stacks (it only caps at 4) will go on the Paladin instead of 4 on each tank, meaning only one tank has to be Esuna’d. The other tank still has to use mit to survive the follow-up hit (Cover does not… cover that lol) but it helps take the stress off of having both healers have to Esuna both tanks. IF you have a Paladin and a Warrior, you can completely ignore using Esuna on the debuff for the first Crush Helm entirely if you have the Paladin use their invuln before the hit goes off at the end; the Crush Helm debuff will fall off before the invuln does. Might be fun to try in a static environment!
@bmpixy

one thing to note if you're doing the cover-invuln strat is that the paladin and warrior need to move away from each other to break the cover tether before the final hit, as if cover is still active the tankbuster will hit the warrior, be transmitted through the cover tether, and annihilate the paladin through their invuln because cover damage ignores hallowed ground

From what I've seen with the Pastebin Pangenesis 2 + 0 strat, I believe the blobs are formed in a particular way. When the person getting a number subtracted from their debuff matches with their partner after the subtraction, they get the critical factor debuff and form the blob. In this way and the way the strat tells us to move, it basically means that towers 2 + 3 will always form blobs, then one tower from the final pair will form a blob. 2 + 0 = no blob, become 1 + 0. Then they soak a tower together again. This time, 1 + 0 turn into 0 + 0. The player with 1 gets critical factor (the debuff stacks match after the subtraction). 2 + 1 become 1 + 1, the player that had 2 to start will get a critical factor. We are then left with 1 + 0 and 1 + 0. Both will turn into 0 + 0s after the debuff stack is removed. The 1 that doesn't already have critical factor will receive it and form the blob at this point. This logic of how the critical factor debuff is assigned and blobs are formed is also consistent with Yuki's p12s part 2 strat and other week 1 clear videos. Another way to look at it is if the two participants in a mix are 1 stack of the debuff apart, the one with higher number of stacks before the mix will receive critical factor (assuming they don't already have it). I'm not sure this has been mentioned and it doesn't really matter as long as people are mixing with their tower soak buddy before moving on to the next tower, but I guess it's kind of interesting to point out nonetheless. Edit: After reading the actual tooltip for the redistribution mechanic, I guess when a person with no stacks mixes, the 'redistribution' only gives stacks to people who already had stacks of the debuff. It's possibly a 'hidden' mechanic because the tooltip is already really long. The redistribution mechanic tooltip technically makes it sound like a '0' can receive stacks, but that's clearly not how it works. The logic of both players having the same number of stacks after the redistribution resulting in critical factor and dropping a slime still applies.

Hey Hector - quick question. I am thinking of doing a project for quick PF farm strats and wondered if you would mind if I used screenshots from your videos? I would obviously give you credit and provide links to your YT / socials. I am not planning on doing videos, it would be a website dedicated to / for newer players who may not have the time / skill level (and/or attention span) to learn all mechanics but want a quick run-down before heading into PF. (Not for savage content atm) I have recently been diagnosed with some potential long-term downtime so I wanted to put that time to use. That and I am tired of always being just a dorito. :) Of course, if you would rather I don't, I would completely respect your answer.

Quick question regarding Caloric 2: Can you accidently pass the entropification debuff back to the original player if you wait too long while stacking? My static has been having this issue and we cannot tell if it's a bug or server ticks being prevalent during our runs. Clarity: A player (1) would move to stack and the debuff would successfully pass to another player (2). They then move to their safe spots continuing the mechanic. However, after moving to their spots, the debuff would then hop from player (2) back to player (1) even though they're no longer stacking. Everyone in the static sees the debuff pass and then pass back from their pov so we believe it is not user error but rather a severe server tick.

Got a guess on why the slimes don’t spawn when merging 2 and 0 on Pangenesis. If you combine 2 and 0, then divide by 2, you get 1, with no remainder. The other combinations (1 and 2, 1 and 0), do not divide evenly by 2. So maybe the slime is what you get when you have a remainder.

Two things worth noting, during Pangenesis, let the west slime tethers person go far to NW corner instead of West, otherwise anyone NOT max-melee in the group will get clipped. At the end of Caloric 2, the last person in the daisy chain can simply return to their original spot, this may be more comfortable for those not knowing where to go.

Pallas Athena has a speech bubble/chat line saying a line with -cover- in it. If you see that; you can hit cover and do rest of the mechanic.

@@HectorHectorson I think it makes sense that losing the unstable factor is what gives you critical factor and summons the slime, but as you say the description strongly suggests that joining a 2+0 should result in 1+1 rather than 1+0. Doing that would cause you to summon 8 slimes and make it unbeatable though, and while starting with 2+1 isn't really much harder (only which tower people start at and move to on the second set changes), perhaps they simply decided they wouldn't let you dead end the mechanic that way? They do have a history of making the mechanics we see in the end somewhat simpler due to perceived challenges during testing. Perhaps their testers got stuck trying to figure out how to handle 8 slimes and they made the change to prevent issues?
