Here's the run.
Had to turn the numbers the fuck off.
It'd be legit impossible for me to fight the boss without flashes with the number vomit all over the screen.

I have mixed feelings about it.
On one hand, it's pretty damn difficult - reminded me of doing early Activity 11 HZ runs, how there's no "easy" part to the run.
On the other hand, some of the encounters are absolute cancer if your agent's name isn't Miyabi (or Yi Xuan, I guess) - getting super-armored goons scatter around the stage while Miasma Shield Thanatos boss jumps all over the place with every attack dealing enough damage to one-shot you is certainly challenging but not particularly fun.
But outside of those giga-cancer cases, the fights are actually very fun.
The final boss is pretty well telegraphed if you figure out her patterns some.
She has a few attacks with retarded (i.e. very unintuitive) hitboxes, but they are consistent so after you familiarize yourself with them, getting hit is a legit skill issue.
The nu-gear system is interesting, but it's very disbalanced, and you kinda need to run a team where everyone has access to gear, otherwise there's not much progression going on.
Astra only has a single piece of gear that is good, the other two are either useless or actively harmful.
The balance changes to the run have potential, IMO.
With Resonia being scarcer, you have to pay more attention to what you're picking up, which is an issue I had with Lost Void compared to HZ, where I'd memorize all Resonia and pick specific ones because of their impact on the gameplay.
That's very rarely the case for LV Resonia, as leveling up the gear is incomparably higher priority than that.
Not having enough rerolls means that some runs you'd just never fucking get the Resonia for your gear and at high Activity that can easily brick your run if you aren't running something very meta to clearing LV.
They also rebalanced shops and gear coin gain quite a bit, so now getting to a shop is a pretty big deal - I like that.
Also, the boss says

Boss is actually Jane.
