A very cool Thelema showcase, but also a bit challenging to do.
I need to use manual indulgence this time because I need the ability to attack while having 6 Banquet Enjoyment to clean kill phase 1 at 921. Need to play carefully when using manual indulgence because if Thelema uses evade indulgence out of certain attacks too quickly she will lose damage:
Grounded weapon active = no spinning blade (minor damage loss, but it is enough to make her sliver on phase 1)
AAA in outburst = no phantom summon (major damage loss, this hit does 592,926 damage)
Lantern uses her weapon active on Raven at 0:40 to trigger Songque's ability for a bit more Astral Ring intensity at the start (it increases from 75 to 78 before Lantern ults).
The parry at 2:21 gives ~4+ points time save if it lines up with the final hit of Thelema's combo attack in the air which is the primary reason why this run is so good. The reason the time save is so large is because the combo attack parry is extremely efficient. When the parry happens on the last hit of the combo attack animation, it minimizes the time wasted between Plume of Rage fully filling and the parry being triggered (the combo attack fills Plume of Rage at 810 and triggers the parry immediately after at 809). It also removes the need for Thelema to initiate another attack to trigger the parry which takes 1 point. The parry also happens after Banquet Enjoyment is obtained, which is a huge deal. Finally, parrying with the combo attack in the air also has less freeze frames allowing Thelema to act out of it earlier (only 3 points pass from 809 to 806, so Thelema recovers ~2 points faster). Because Plume of Rage only increases when Raven gets hit, setting this up is consistent as long as Thelema always uses the same moves.
At 2:32, wait a tiny little bit so the phantom hits first before using ult.
At 2:39, if Moment of Indulgence is used right after the last AAA then the score should be 775, but for some reason this is the only place where the phantom misses and Thelema slivers without that phantom hit. After several tries this seems to be a consistent problem and I don't know why this happens. To workaround it I just delayed 1 point (by using weapon active, first hit only) before casting Moment of Indulgence which lets the phantom hit first.
