is this allowed? (auto-battler)

You can do the Auto battler but I think it's alot slower than normal.

I was assuming so but just in case I did it and my runs ended up being faster than my own currently with auto-battler, i just wanted to double check to make sure I wasn't technically cheating. I just want to see what types of times I can get with auto-battler.

Yeah that's fine, if you do get faster times with it then GG :)
