Not entirely sure how this run ended up being sub 20. I think between new set up strats and a few extremely speedy boss waves, it ended up just making it. This was despite some really nasty boss RNG on a few waves and some real dumb mistakes here and there.Truthfully, I was really close to resetting this run after losing the exiled blade, but I decided I wouldn't reset if I got an ascender.

I've gotten much better at fighting bosses in general, and that includes the cobosses.

I know the timer at the end says 19:59, but, in my excitement, I forgot my split button and hit it about a second late. Review of the video showed a 19:58. Likely, I'm going to work on improving this time. I'm not quite satisfied with it.
