Fastest STF times?

So after one week of STF's, our team hit a few new numbers;

. Fastest time: ~29m (0 deaths) - Screenshot

. Fastest time (with MO settings): ~38m - Screenshot

Wondering if anyone has managed faster than this yet? Would love to know the team composition and chat about the strategy you guys followed.
(Our runs are always with no temp powers except ATT and Jetpack)

Our estimate is that without temp powers, our teams can 'maybe' touch 25 minutes, but most probably not lower than that. Considering we kill Recluse in about 20 seconds or so, every other AV in lesser to much lesser - not really sure where else we can cut down on time.

waaay back when masters first announced record was 22 mins. I dont have who did it i wish i did now but im sure someone will claim it or point you toward thread

Last night I had a PuG'er come on a team who claimed they had just done a 20 minute STF. Of course, apparently after doing a 20 minute STF, "no one" on the team even thought about taking a screenshot.

So I am a bit skeptical about the 22 minute masters run, I've heard about it too.
It's just that no one seems to recall a screenshot for it or be able to point me to one.

I'm just glad that for some reason I don't FAIL it like I used to.

Did one with Dechs Kaison once in 25 minutes. Of course, we had one defeat in it, to hose over the Master chance. (You're welcome.)

Fastest I was ever on was around 45 minutes. I don't remember how long the MoSTF I was on took.


Heroes : Angrem (50 Stone tank), Exo Inferis (50 Fire blaster), Exo Proteus (50 ill/emp), IceVengance (50 cold defender)
Villains : AtomBomb (50 Rad/Kin corruptor), Aleks (50 SS/Inv brute), StoneLethal (50 EM/Stone brute), Davroz (50 Bots/Dark mastermind)

I think one thing that slows people down in speed runs is a tank.
All our sub 35m runs (including the 29m one) were all tankless.

Honestly, with Illusion trolls that know what they are doing, a tank is kinda redundant on a STF.

Just hover above Recluse and taunt while the rest of the team takes out the towers.

I am not anti-tank - I have a stoney myself that I often take on STF's.
I'm just making an observation.


We're now consistently running around 30-35m stf's - most of the bottleneck is just zoning travelling and geez, the cut-scenes :-\

That would work wonders, except that I'm a runner and jumper, not a flier. And my jetpack, she has a very small fuel tank...

Plus fly-taunting is flaky. The tank often dies (even really experienced ones) - LR can jump _really high, _really fast. Once the tank is down, it can often be a team wipe, which to say the least, is inconvenient - particularly for speed runs.
