YAVP: FeAr^Usk with all the runes

[ThreeInvisibleDucks]

I've wanted to win a Usk cat for quite a while, because of the stabbing synergy. I made it unnecessarily hard when I forgot to pick up the Tomb rune, snatched the orb and realized my mistake. I died twice while fetching that rune, and without Borg, I would've died for good. Note to self: always memorize Borg, no excuses there.

Tomb wasn't too hard with CBlink, because it virtually allows for the usual stairdancing tactics. I memorized Necromutation just in case, but I stayed all statue and it worked out well enough.

Usk is a pretty good cat god, but only after Statue Form.

And while I mostly splat, I'm happy to have 1/1 score on CXC.

Wait, does CBlink work normally under Orb status in 0.20?

[ThreeInvisibleDucks]

Wait, does CBlink work normally under Orb status in 0.20?

No it doesn't, but I hadn't picked up the orb yet while doing Tomb. I just had to go back there after while I realized I didn't pick up the rune.

[VeryAngryFelid]

This is weird because the dump shows you picked up the orb before golden rune

[ThreeInvisibleDucks]

I cleared Tomb before that. Well, almost, I just forgot to pick up the rune.

[ThreeInvisibleDucks]

I just want to add that one, under no circumstances, should pick up the orb before fetching more runes. The orb run was the hardest by a wide margin. Both extra lives lost, and without Borg, probably the last one as well. Truly a comedy of errors.
