EPS dire strats

Here's a collection of possible configurations. You need to try the second phase of EPS with them to see if they work for you.
Some of them aren't empirically tested, they should work based only on calculations.
Under level 10 isn't faster even for TAS (I think).
If you're getting hit by the chomp attack, first jump over it, then get hit when it comes back, get hit with the other bro, then jump on it. gl
If you're getting hit by the energy beam attack, every hit during that attack does the same damage. I think the safest strat is to dodge everything until the final shockwave and let both bros get hit by it, see what works for you.
Getting hit by the counterattack is easy. Just make sure to avoid it if she attacks the wrong bro.
Mario level 10, 30 HP, 23 DEF, +130 DEF from space pants for 153 DEF, will be put into dire by EPS's chomp and energy beam attack. This is what he'll have if you only upgrade POW.
Mario level 11, 52 HP, 24 DEF, +130 DEF from space pants for 154 DEF, will be put into dire by EPS's dash counterattack. You need to put 18 points in Mario's HP to get this. (lol)
Mario level 12, 51 HP, 26 DEF, +130 DEF from space pants for 156 DEF, will be put into dire by EPS's dash counterattack. You need to put 13 points in Mario's HP to get this. (still lol)
Mario level 13, 51 HP, 27 DEF, +130 DEF from space pants for 157 DEF, will be put into dire by EPS's dash counterattack. You need to put 9 points in Mario's HP to get this. probably 5+4
Mario level 14, 50 HP, 29 DEF, +130 DEF from space pants for 159 DEF, will be put into dire by EPS's dash counterattack. You need to put 4 points in Mario's HP to get this. just 1 4

Luigi level 10, 46 HP, 27 DEF, +60 DEF from shell slacks for  87 DEF, will be put into dire by EPS's chomp and energy beam attack. You need to put 10 points into Luigi's HP to get this. Maybe 2 5s?
Luigi level 11, 45 HP, 28 DEF, +60 DEF from shell slacks for  88 DEF, will be put into dire by EPS's chomp and energy beam attack. You need to put 5 points into Luigi's HP to get this. Maybe 1 5?
