Run protocol
A useful Build page should explain decisions, not just list items. This protocol turns source-backed starting records into a repeatable research route.
Use Greatsword of Exorcism as the first record to identify. Do not restart a run simply because it does not appear; the route is a direction, not a required drop order.
Prioritize decisions related to Greatsword · Weapon upgrades, then compare each offered item’s current verification state before committing inventory space.
Save the weapon route, difficulty, board screenshot and outcome. A route moves beyond research status only after repeatable runs support it.
First-party records
These entries have first-party documentation relevant to this route. They are research anchors, not a claim that they form a complete or optimal loadout together.
This framework does not guarantee drop order, perfect Tablet geometry, boss-specific safety or best-in-slot damage. Community-tested status requires a documented weapon route, board screenshot, difficulty, version and repeated run results.
