Notes/Route for my submission run

These are my original notes that I took before my first run. They are completely unedited and probably pretty confusing at parts. If I get around to it, I'll try to make a cleaner guide later. Basically for each level, I wrote down my completion time and any other thoughts I had on the level.

Don’t have to kill bats as Russell
Figure out which text boxes are faster
L1:1:08
L2:0:47
L3:0:45 
L4:0:53 figure out route so orkus don’t dodge you
L5 0:42 practice this
L6 0:45 I captured a shiny orkus
L7 2:50 figure out route and add to party
L8 0:55 maybe dev water more?
L9 1:19 
Water 1: 1:30 consider sending orkus to block hydra respawn. Might be worth capturing some things for endgame.
L10 1:42 really bad
L11 1:53
L12 (south) 2:43 maybe capture a bird?
L13 1:23
L14 (south) 3:48
L15 1:54 super hard. Go to lily pads, send fliers to block respawn and bait units away from crystals until you can engage. Capture a Phoenix
Fire 1: 5:57 very hard and slow. Use Phoenix, attack sage so all monsters swarm her then send one Phoenix to the respawn point. Slowly pick off all the monsters and finally knock her away from the crystal. Spread and heal phoenix and spam w1,w1 with extra mana. Need backup strat
Seele: listen, save the world, wrong, creator is dead, no
L16 (south) 1:45 easy to get item with no time loss
L17 2:30? Bad routing. Capture the gnomes and mud golem
Earth 1: 5:38 use mud golem + gnome. Get two mid respawn points. Approach from bottom. Use Wind to push him away from crystals. Endgame with repeated fireballs/explosions near 3 crystals
L18 2:33 used orkus, acrobat, gnome. Flyer is important. Get cherubim and tali’s
L19 4:17 use cherubim in slot 2 and tali’s in slot 
L20 5:24 dark walker + bat. There’s a respawn point in the top left. Bomb the dark walkers from the alcove with a chest and use wind to push the dark wizard from the crystals
L21 2:33 need flyers. Maybe get island spawn last. Kill all in top right spawn with a single M-light2.
Leonard 1: 2:04 super easy with dark walker and bat. Take bottom path on fork
L22 2:06 mono flyers
L23 4:34 attack with monsters. Send Isaac to warp pt, hmm not sure on best route
L24 2:15
Russell 1: 3:30. Not too hard. I used tali’s and seraphim
L25 0:40 yolo it. Tali’s are really good here. Use speed buff but no glitch
L26 0:37 #yolo
Keep the wand
Water 2: 2:45 use talos and flyers. Take right path and force mm to middle. Try not to engage hounds while attack mm. Try to position talos on top. Heal with double light2. Also pray.
Fire 2: 1:59 take Phoenix and flyers use buff glitch on light2 x2 (only works once) and charge the respawn pt. Intercept her as she moves across the top
Earth 2: 4:43
Leonard 2: 2:15 use all dark and buff glitch on attack
Russell 2: 2:58 same strat as last fight. Use attack buff
Trista: 1:32 attack buff+charge
