No idea what snapshotting is going on with Izaro, but a darkshrine can give you a portal straight to Izaro. Found one once and didn't use it because I like to get the chests and darkshrines instead of bypassing them.

Not an expert at this, but from what I heard...

You can skip the whole Itzaro fight with mines plus a detonate mines totem, killing him before he even starts doing stuff.
This is even faster than oneshooting him (he would then still do some animations).

If you care for "labrunning" (trying to finish the lab as quick as possible, there's a ladder and rewards for this), you pretty much have to use this.
It saves too many precious seconds, you cannot compete without using this as well.

some builds are able to do millions of damage in bursts, especially with mines.
being able to prepare their strike before itzaro spawns allows them to kill him between the moment he's taking damage and the start of the animations.

i think "snapshotting" is referring to the damage buildup process.

edit: lol, didn't refresh the thread before eventually posting it.

I am pretty sure that the developers stated that they are not going to fix phase skipping mine kill, nor will deduct loading times from the overall timer...

Want to know why? Because they simply don't give a damn. Lab racing is a joke.
