Is Claire A or Leon A faster (easier S rank)

[Goliath]

Trying to get infinite pistol ammo.

My first playthrough was Leon A at 6.5 hrs. My second playthrough was Claire A at 3 hrs and 45 mins (since I'd already played the game once)

Which should I do to get the S rank and infinite ammo?

Claire moves faster!

At least she feels like she moves faster.

I vote Leon. You can skip the magnum and just roll shotgun and handgun for most of it, grabbing the flamethrower to finish off the last boss if you happen to run low on ammo.

Skipping most enemies of course. Convert all the yellow powder into shotgun ammo and so on. Grabbing the shotgun parts is also a must.

I haven't seen a decent Claire speedrun yet, not sure if it's feasible for her to skip the SMG like Leon can skip his magnum, but it probably is if she grabs the SLS upgrade and it's 9 rounds of budget MAG ammo, plus the Sparkshot too.

I still feel like Leon is faster though. He doesn't have to deal with the annoying Sherry sections, either.

Clair has stronger weapons for the majority of the game. Leon's weapons tend to be a bit weaker, and has arguably the worst run for the clocktower with murder hallway.

Yep, her model is smaller too - its easyer to pass by

I just did Leon A cuz I played it the most. Got a standard S+ run at 1:30ish and a hardcore S+ run at 2:13. I didn't bother saving on the standard run due to the autosaves and on hardcore I was gonna save before fighting the last boss but I thought there was a typewriter right before him but i was wrong so I was shaking through that whole fight and just barely beat him. I was almost too late on tossing a grenade and he almost one shot me. My only save was somewhere around the end of the sewers. Scary stuff...

the shotgun.

[Cheeser]

Claire A is faster for me. Got my first S-rank here

[Goliath]

On top of that, just realized: do you still get the infinite ammo if you play on assisted mode? I just assumed you must be at least standard but if it works with assisted why not

[Dravyn]

In assisted you'll only get the infinite combat knife. for the inf. ammo you'll have to run S rank at standard or above.

I don't like Claire's weapons as much. The SMG seems to devour ammo to little effect, and acid rounds are hit or miss on most things and useless on bosses. Her oversized taser is really lackluster too. Meanwhile, everything in Leon's kit hits like a truck except the flamethrower, and that is a niche gun that's all but essential in certain parts.

But honestly, it's gonna come down to taste.

SMG is designed for tearing apart limbs and for stunning bosses.
Her acid grenades stun most bosses. (Fire grenades do ♥♥♥♥ all against bosses)
Her Taser is retardedly powerful.
And her starting pistol is still frankly the most powerful pistol in the game between the SE guns and Leons Matilda.
Her only lack luster weapon really is her other pistol she gets.

Clair has stronger weapons for the majority of the game. Leon's weapons tend to be a bit weaker, and has arguably the worst run for the clocktower with murder hallway.

Leon's shotgun is better for large bulks of the game when it comes to convenience. You can take any zombie out with one shell, making certain hallways much safer, as opposed to wasting ammo, or constantly having to dodge zombies by stunning them with a headshot. Claire's nade launcher has limited ammo with pretty specific uses, and the Acid rounds are just rubbish, and her SMG is either for bursting on the bosses or knee capping zombies when you're out of 9mm.


That said, either character can easily finish the game in 3 hours if you have a route planned out. Just watch one of Bawkba's speedruns for the specific route. I used that as a guide for Leon, and even went back to the Station for the hiding place and spare key. Still finished the game in 2 hours
