CCB#1 695 Points, Defender Only
I thought it was going to be easy to update the CN record this time, but 5 deployment limit was very hard.
After 10 hours of trying different ideas, I thought it might be impossible, until I took a closer look at Bison S1.
DEF Up Gamma is amusingly a unique skill nowadays, since HG doesn't give it out anymore and it has useful cycles no other skills have.
Very satisfied with the core strategy so I'll spend some more time and try removing less needed ops before uploading.

DOS-S-3 Defender Only
One of the most exhausting grinds I've ever done. It took 2 days to finish the strategy and get the timings.
The last tophat was really hard to kill.
The lava mechanic was surprisingly fun to use.

H12-4 7 Defender Only
Jessica Alter is very strong. The deployable shield is really nice in particular, would love to see it on lower rarities too for splitboxing purposes
Was inspired by Silvergun's H12-4 strategy
Thanks to 水午, 方周, 迷宫 for the help

My best clears of 2023
IC-S-4 CM 12 Defender Only No Cars - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lrb8...
The peak of anti-air defenderknights. By sheer numbers, the strongest team I've ever had to use HPS wise.
H9-6 8 Defender Only - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rq5P-...
Perfected version of my H9-6 strategy. It's satisfying to use block to it's full potential.
Pinch Out Defender Only, 750 Points - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QO4b...
A fun block puzzle that really shows off the charm of defenderknights, holding back an army of enemies and beating them to death with all you have. I think it's a really manly way to play.
CW-S-4 CM 7 Defender Only - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ3VS...
Great usage of event mechanics. Defenderknights is IMO a very lucky niche that can interact with many event mechanics in interesting ways.
IS-EX-8 CM 3 Defender Only - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiLes...
An unusual way of using Defender tankiness offensively to reach the no summoner record for this stage. But tbh there's a more interesting clear in the Eyja alt event that I haven't posted on youtube.
Apparently I uploaded over 200 AK clears last year so I decided to pick a top 5.
Overall a pretty fun year. Hope AK will be just as enjoyable in 2024

Pinch Out 750 Points, Defender Only!
The highest of any class only run so far. 15 points higher than the previous CN record.
I started theorycrafting in Phase 3 and after some helpful discussions with 影_澪, @Ryujo397 and @Bric59 and I finished the strategy right after Phase 4 started.
Special thanks to 影_澪, who grinded out extra 5 points of dodge RNG (Dorothy Atk Up) and the mecha kills.
With Atk Down -65%, HP Increase +260%, and 1000% HP, it takes 22 hours to defeat the mechas.
I didn't plan on playing high risk at first, but after 影_澪 asked me about trying 740, I spent a couple of hours thinking of ideas and different strats.
Was surprisingly fun to try them out, and I enjoyed playing the final strategy (up until 42/45).
It doesn't work at all at lower risk without the new tags, and it's completely different from the previous records, which I think is quite cool.
Will try to upload before the event ends.

Penance S1 has an interesting feature where the overcharge is a skill attack, and not limited by her normal attack interval. I was really surprised when I heard about it.
You can see it being used very well here, where under aspd down it can be used to almost full stunlock enemies

Are people more interested in strategies with Cement or Chapter 12 Defenderknights?
Sadly those don't really overlap thanks to DP limit

Go check out Negsy's Risk 20 Defender Only
The clear is more a throwback to his classic CC Beta defenderknights clear, with the same ops as before

Risk 30, 11 Defender Only
While calculating I found more efficient ways to beat the boss and the avengers at R30
Decided to optimize the opening of the existing R30 (13 op) CN record and ended up cutting 2 ops

Arknights challenge player. Mainly Defenderknights.
