jokes aside, i barely survived.. one more damage reduction would likely make it humanly impossible. here are some stats if you are interested:
previously with 30d you'd need to drop ~112 bombs to beat r100, now the 25d raise the bar up to ~135 bombs. this run is almost my best possible performance with ~137 bombs. any more nerfs will probably end this 1tc career. i've asked the game dev personally and seems like next update there will be further actions takenace micro handcam 5-2-0 sky shredder vs. round 98Duke2025-02-27 | it's funny how this used to be considered an impossible challenge. now that stuff are optimized it's beaten with such confidence and cleanliness. also my cleanest r98 run ever.How I Beat 1 Tower CHIMPS With Ace MicroDuke2025-02-09 | No button was harmed in the making of this video.Sky Shredder: 1 Tower CHIMPSDuke2024-07-14 | Sky Shredder was proven to be able to solo CHIMPS on logs by plisp, here I replicate it after 8 updates!

FAQ: q: does this mean if we start game with enough cash to buy ace, will that be 1TC? a: nope, starting on r6 meaning we could not get past r54 which is an impossible round for 4-2-0 ODS.
q: what are the differences between 5-2-0 and 5-0-1 shredder? a: 5-0-1 is generally better for soloing r98 because more dart pierce = more damage, where 5-2-0 has missile pierce therefore less dart damage. also 5-0-1 does not detect camoAce Start To Win Races (Ace Micro Guide Ep. 6)Duke2024-06-19 | Here I breakdown the process of me tackling ace micro in this race event "The Long Rangers"

thanks to plisp for being the first one to complete the challenge and discovering new reverse patterns, those are sure to be super useful especially for r98 challenges. i really took inspiration from your vids (just like how mine inspired you back then lol) and that somewhat changed my mind about quitting game. maybe i'll just have fun while i can ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
