This was one of my first speedruns in the new easiest difficulties - peaceful. I was planning to do a couple more runs (to grind for better times) before submitting but didn't have the time. It should be possible to shave at least a couple of minutes and make this run faster, especially with better RNG.

In theory, Deadlands should be the fastest setting due to the Monarch powers and possibly the mounts. Typically, Deadlands has stronger retaliation waves, often having breeders and floaters after the first 5 or 6 portals are destroyed. However, on the peaceful setting the retaliation waves do not have breeders meaning you get additional powers compared to other settings.
