fun potential strat: onecycle with exploding plasma rifle (probably won't work, but would be neat)

eh. Maybe?

How exactly does the Tennis work exactly? Do I have to angle the return shot to make her vulnerable?

What's the most back and forth possible?

Figuring out how to consistently get zeroeth cycle is probably the way to go.

Guardian manip and possibly timeslow is probably involved.

17:48 has the video of the zeroeth cycle. No clue what exactly I did. Like...

theory 1: forcepush (doubt it, did not remember it, worth trying)

theory 2: plasma (does not sound like it, also double plasma did not work)

theory 3: some kind of sword position reflecting an invisible version of her projectile? (plausible, but hard to confirm)

theory 4: credit to Armature VR Gaming dying to a firepunch (or maybe in general) starts the fight like that [intentional mechanic to make the fight easier for someone who just failed it? bug?]

The whole level run where that happened (with the previous death):
