[CLEAR] Minigame: Fight Ark Ranger (Goddess of Victory: NIKKE)

I finally cleared this minigame! And just before the Ark Ranger event ends and Summer 2026 Event begins. I used Ark Burster for this run. Partly because I like its special ability of pushing enemies away and grouping them together. It's easier to burn down enemies with Area Attacks when they're nicely stacked together. But also, I needed to run Ark Burster for a challenge. To make the video shorter, I sped up parts of the video where I'm thinking about what to do. I didn't want to cut them out entirely, but didn't want to spend needless time on them either. Once my inventory was finalized, I spent much less time on inventory screen and didn't need to speed it up. I ended up shortening the video by 15 mins. My priority was to stack as much Reload% for Area Attacks (Grenade, Flamethrower, Launcher, Photon Gun). That way, I could stun/slow down enemies reliably with grenades while still having enough firepower to destroy them. 2:46 I got a fully-upgraded Photon Cannon early on. I had already decided before the run that I would run only one of them in my build. I wanted more space for damage-dealing weapons like Flamethrower or Launcher. 9:25 At the start of wave 30, I had my two shotguns finalized. I wanted two of them so that I could push back incoming enemies. I felt that I didn't need more than two of them. 10:32 By amazing luck, I got a purple repair kit from the pool. I could combine it with my own and create orange repair kit. Just one of them was enough for me. 11:42 This trait selection was a tough one for me. I really wanted to pick +12% range, but I couldn't afford to pass up on -12% reload time. In the end, I picked reload and hoped that +12 Range would pop up again later. 11:49 By the end of Wave 38, I had three fully-upgraded grenades. These three were enough for me if I had high enough reload speed–somewhere around 70%, preferably more. I tried to go for a 4th one too, but suspected it wouldn't be feasible if I wanted to keep my other damage-dealing items. 14:41 By coincidence, the game gave me a 3rd fully-upgraded Flamethrower. I hadn't planned on bringing more than two, but decided that a 3rd one would be fine. 15:05 After reaching Lv. 40, I checked my traits to see how much reload speed I had–to decide whether to continue the run or end it. I had 54% + 24% = 78% reload speed for Area Attacks. I had never had this much reload speed before. I made the decision to continue, feeling that this might be the run. 19:57 Getting a second orange repair kit felt quite lucky. But I had to pass up on it. I had already decided that I needed to focus more on keeping the enemies away rather than repairing the damage done. 28:54 The final wave surprised me with how aggressive it was. My Barricade's HP went from 92% to 58% really quickly. But no lower than that. Once I pushed the Boss Raptures away, they could do nothing to me anymore and victory was assured.
