I have tried both main game + DLC runs and DLC only runs.

main game + DLC(Any%): DLC Only(Any%):

I think the main game + DLC run can be established by modifying the timer conditions based on Any%, 100%. When I tried it, I set the timer to end at the moment of the last attack on the Apex Leviathan. (In addition, there is no In-Game Timer, so I think it will be measured in real time)

For the DLC-only run, I agree that it should be based on 100% savefile. Additionally, I think it would be more fair to add the following rules to the savefile.

• Make the resumption point a cave on The Gulf.
• All evolutions are leveled up to tier 5
• All evolutions are removed

By the way, my experience with DLC-only runs is that it doesn't really matter if the based savefile is Any% or 100%. Because Any% is at a disadvantage over 100% in every respect. The only time that Any% might be advantageous is if you choose a strategy that allows you to acquire something from Port Clovis after you get into the DLC. In reality, however, I don't think such a strategy is necessary, since it is possible to clear DLC with a minimum of DLC content.

I propose a new category: "No Evolutions". This category prohibits the use of all evolutions. Other rules are the same as Any% and 100%. For example, the rules for No Evolutions Any% are as follows.

This category will allow for more heated battles. I will show you a video of a run with these rules(Any%) as a reference.
