 I'm returning to The 27 Club, which finished 4th last time in the clan competition and is looking for a better finish this time. Entering the tournament, I thought combo high scores was the main place for improvement, and that does seem to be a weak spot so far. The clan was lacking in top-tier speedrunners, but then tswn joined at the last minute to add a sub-hour real-time speedrun and a 50M score game, putting the clan within striking distance of 2nd.

Unfortunately, I got bad luck on loot and spells with this character and couldn't get a rune. The randart hand axe and [[amulet of magic regeneration]] made MP mostly a non-issue, but I had no resists, poor defenses, and a lack of long-range AoE. I may have been better off doing Snake first, as [[Lee's Rapid Deconstruction|LRD]] would've worked better there, and I had a [[ring of poison resistance]]. I still think extended is the best way to improve my tournament score, but another look at the combo scoreboard puts [[Demonspawn]] and a few other backgrounds in play.

This character, like some of my other losses, got unlucky with loot, including spells (i.e. I couldn't build for any higher level spells). There was probably a better way to fight the salamander, but it kept highrolling against me. I'm now convinced FE is low-tier, unless it's just my consistent lack of luck in tournaments, so I'll see if another background would work better without its high score being too high.

 This is my third tournament, after two previous tournaments where I got one win each. The last tournament was disappointing, as I thought I had a chance at top 100 but was only able to get one win. I started that tournament by speedrunning [[Minotaur]] [[Berserker]] but had to abandon that plan. I think I was too aggressive before, and I found [[Trog]] to be not as good as [[Okawaru]], so I decided to use [[Fighter]] for speedrunning this time. I managed to get that and another win, and I think the best way to score further points is to try extended with a combo whose high score is beatable.

The loot was interesting, as I found several good items that happened to have -Int, so I had to pass on a bunch, but at least I got a [[battleaxe]] with +3 Int in a [[Gauntlet]], letting me wear gloves with regen from the same gauntlet. I had a few close calls in the midgame and even the orb run, which is not surprising with a build low on defenses (35/19/0 at the end). I can now say that [[Wu Jian]] is better for turn count than real time since the martial maneuvers require more though than just o-tabbing.
