> **AI-WRITTEN ANALYSIS** — The numbers come from the combat log. The verdict and notes were written by an AI reading them, and can be wrong in ways the numbers cannot. Written by Claude (Opus 5.5), from the combat log and the archive.

**Why it failed:** No defensive: no defensive under Imprint on the opener (Hyporock, BM Hunter)

## Hyporock and BM Hunter died 50 s into the opener under Earthbound's Imprint with no defensive pressed.

## What the group left up

**Casts that could have been interrupted and were not**

- Frostbolt: 4 of 11 got through

**Damage one player took that similar players did not (check the raw hits before acting on this; a spell only one role can take looks the same)**

- Hyporock: 674,974 (mostly Earthbound's Imprint)

**Party damage eaten by shields on the enemies: 3.5% of what was dealt never landed (not graded)**

- 5,006,862 absorbed of 136,792,884 landed
- Ice Shield: 5,006,862
- on: Earthbound Guardian (3,134,930), Deepstone Earthshaper (1,871,932)

**Hit most of the party (not graded: everyone took it, so nobody is charged for it)**

- Excavating Blast: 5/5 players, 77 hits, 7,659,616 (24% of party intake)

**Aimed at most of the party (the targeted player is not charged; hits on anyone else could have been avoided)**

- Earthbound's Imprint: 3/5 players, 69 hits, 8,201,810 (26% of party intake)

## Method

Each axis is scored 0 to 100 against what this run allowed, not against a fixed target. A player is only scored on things their spec can do. An axis that does not apply is left out and the other weights are scaled up. 100 means nothing was missed; a solid, even key usually lands near 75. Survival and mechanics carry no weight of their own: they start at 100 and take points off when something went wrong.
