After how I only just barely solo'd Normal VHilla within the 30 minutes, I was very scared to attempt CGloom. It didn't help that my gains from shining starforce were somewhat disappointing. But as it turns out, it's way easier to keep up damage output when you aren't constantly walking in between threads.
Destiny made this boss very free for Illium, mostly because of the new instant crystal charge. The blink float helps a lot too, but I somehow ended up never getting a chance to use it for this run.

As usual, this was done with no buff freezers, green pot, or any of that kind of stuff.
I never imagined Id ever get to this point in the game. But after the droplet rate buff and a couple extremely lucky black cubes, my damage suddenly suddenly got multiplied by 1.5. It was then that I knew I could do this.")

Considering how much Illium sucks at damage, and how Hell Gollux is all about damage, Hell Gollux was literally hell.")

My solo progression rules:
- No partying with other people
- No withdrawing from storage (except for compensation boxes)
- No weekly boss event coins except for the ones rightfully earned
- Everything else is fair game")

00:48 - Phase 1 Qiongqi (Bird)
03:49 - Phase 1 Taowu (Tiger)
07:59 - Phase 1 Hundun (Dog)
11:28 - Phase 2
18:43 - Phase 3
30:12 - Loot Room
I was originally planning to do this without the cheese strat. (I actually came close once, but then accidentally cancelled glory wings instead of pressing origin for the final burst.) But then in this run I bricked the gauge in p2 and thought why not.
The order I did the perils in for p1 was the fastest way when I had lower damage, but then the final week of night troupe buffs blew my damage out of the water and the order stopped mattering as much.
For p3, as much as I wanted to focus down Taowu, I realized it was more damage-efficient to use laser exclusively for hitting both Qiongqi and Hundun at once.")

One of the most brain-dead and RNG-based boss fights ever. Would not fight again. (Im totally gonna fight it again for mesos ;~;)")
