  1. This "tutorial" will guide you through all useful resources on how to speedrun Zx, the game has a lot of techniques and use of the overdrive that quadruplicates your damage to kill bosses in just seconds.
  2.  
  3. ■ JP version is used because it has less text and it has voice acting
  4. ■ Aile crawls faster and gets knocked back more when hit compared to Vent, she is used to save some time for the crawl sections
  5. ■ The models are the heroes from the Zero series, Ciel transformed them into Biometals
  6. ■ Bosses have Zero series weakness system as well, Thunder>Fire>Ice>Thunder ~ and Phantom for no weakness
  7. ■ In Game Time is used to compare for it's accuracy since it only stops during loading sections, that's where DS loses Real Time compared to Emulator, so you should skip all cut scenes after Serpent to check IGT
  8. ■ There are currently two viable routes, one being the perfect one related to transformation usage and menus and the other being a safer route related to energy management:
  9.  
  10. ┬┴┬┴┤Lurere 3rd├┬┴┬┴
  11. This route is the optimized, every transformation is used not only on it's stage but for the next mission. The menuing is the best too since you won't need to scroll that much to select missions.
  12. Next is the mission route (Boss / # of the mission in the list / Where to transport)
  13. ▰ Hivolt / 1 / Area B-2
  14. ▰ Fistleo / 2 / Area B-2
  15. ▰ Lurere / 1 / Area A-2
  16. ▰ Hurricaune / 2 / Area E-7
  17. ~Fight Prometheus~ > You will have to transport to Area X-1
  18. ▰ Flamolle / 3 / Area B-2
  19. ▰ Leganchor / 2 / Area A-2
  20. ▰ Purprill / 1 / run to Area H
  21. ▰ Protectos / 1 / run to Area L
  22.  
  23. ┬┴┬┴┤Flamolle 3rd├┬┴┬┴
  24. Since Lurere 3rd has the transformations and menus optimized, this route adds a safer Lurere stage, which is RNG heavy relating to drops in Lurere 3rd route. But with Flamolle 3rd you will be able to store more energy and destroy the Crushpactor faster than anything.
  25. Next is the mission route (Boss / # of the mission in the list / Where to transport)
  26. ▰ Hivolt / 1 / Area B-2
  27. ▰ Fistleo / 2 / Area B-2
  28. ▰ Flamolle / 4 / Area B-2
  29. ▰ Lurere / 1 / Area A-2
  30. ~Fight Prometheus~ > You will have to transport to Area X-1
  31. ▰ Hurricaune / 2 / Area E-7
  32. ▰ Leganchor / 2 / Area A-2
  33. ▰ Purprill / 1 / run to Area H
  34. ▰ Protectos / 1 / run to Area L
