This is one of the best tracks in the entire game, imho! The whole campaign should be added to the base game. But this track stands out to me.
I'm sure Histioth's strat between cp 3&4 saves time, but it seems incredibly unreliable... I haven't been able to replicate it.
As it stands, I can beat Histioth to cp 4 because I have a better start than they do, but it's only very close.
