[Pre β1.6.0] Becoming the Most Responsible One

"TOP YOURSELF OUT, NOW. Ingame of course."

This guide is outdated as of β1.6.0, which made significant changes to the revive system.

TETR.IO's Responsible One leaderboard lists players who have achieved the most revives in a single Quickplay run, making it a duo-exclusive achievement.

This guide includes some notable tips, a list of all revive tasks, and setups/task specific tips for difficult tasks.

General tips

Revive task tier is determined via a function of floor and number of revives. The more revives you complete and the higher you climb, the more difficult the tasks will be. Eventually A-tier tasks are all that appear.

Better players will target you as you climb higher, so place as few pieces as possible and avoid sending attack.
- Except during fatigue, when timing Quads/T-Spins is key to surviving!

Time is the ultimate run killer, as surviving longer gets your targeted more, making this achievement fairly speed reliant.
For tasks that require waiting (Ex. Tank garbage, Don't cancel), setting up for the next task can save a couple of precious seconds.

Make sure you are familiar with common allspins by playing Riviclia's Jstris usermode!

Expert Mode allows for slower climbing at the cost of more difficult survival (fewer spikes but they hurt more). It may be a good tradeoff depending on skill level.

Task difficulty and amount is dependent on the formula: Floor Number + (Total Revives*2). They may occur in any order.

1 - F
2 - F×2
3 - F×3
4 - F×2, E×1
5 - F×1, E×2
6 - E×3
7 - E×2, D×1
8 - E×1, D×2
9 - D×3
10 - D×2, C×1
11 - D×1, C×2
12 - C×3
13 - C×2, B×1
14 - C×1, B×2
15 - B×3
16 - B×2, A×1
17 - B×1, A×2
18 or more - A×3

Some easier versions of harder tasks (ex. T-Spin Mini, place 3 blocks) have been omitted.

D Tier

Clear an I-spin

CW CW

CCW CCW

Ispins are weird. Just go for this one. Also see I-spin doubles for more inspiration.

Clear a Quad in the upper half of the board

If you have a big long well, cover it up first, finish this task, then clean up.

C Tier

Have part of your stack in the top 3 rows for 3 seconds

Spire up!

It only says part of your stack. You don't need to fill everything up.

Clear an S/Z-Spin Triple

CCW

common tsd shape

This spin is super useful.
Go for either of these, the shapes appear everywhere, just takes a little practice to internalize them

CCW CCW or CW CW + 180 + CW

overhangless is honestly strictly better

Clear 4 T-Spin Minis

Common TSM

Upside down TSD shape

sometimes available at the sides

I love neo but i cant recommend it
something about "practicality" :(

B Tier

Place 5 pieces in a row without moving or rotating

Easy task, extremely cursed recovery. Unless you build a C4W or C3W (must be 3-4 split).

You are allowed to HOLD. You are allowed to HOLD. You are allowed to HOLD.

The God Queue: IILSO

C4W helps with recovery

LS, JZ, JO are all clean

T last is also nice

C3W is fine if you avoid Is.

If this is the last task for the revive, just spam as you have a few extra seconds to waste while your duo tops out and the next revive loads in.

Send 18 Lines

Avoid canceling and break whatever surge you have for this task. Climbing is bad and this forces it.

Clear an L/J-Spin Triple

Situational

Clear 8 Singles without doing other clears or using Hold

If you're really struggling with this one, try building a 4W. Otherwise, freestyle should work.

Practice!

Have no Garbage Lines on your board for 4 seconds

Stall; don't hard or soft drop, and hold your piece when it reaches the bottom.

Rotate 100 Times

You have 3 rotation keys: CW, CCW and 180. Spam all 3.
O pieces are great to see here! O-spins don't exist (at least, not in this gamemode).

Don't cancel any garbage for 8 seconds

Two choices:

Stall; don't hard or soft drop, and hold your piece when it reaches the bottom.
Build up and prep for your next task.

A Tier

Perform a 7-Combo

To play it safe, build a 4W. This is an expensive task to mess up, and gets harder as fatigue adds solid rows to your matrix. C4W is better if mastered, but S4W is significantly easier to build, especially during high gravity and incoming pressure. Remember a 7 combo requires 8 consecutive line clears!

If you get 40L into 7 Combo, you can start building the combo at 7 lines remaining.
Also, if this is your last task, build an 8 combo, then stall to potentially instantly clear another 7 combo task!
-IIILLL

Clear an I-Spin Double

freestyle this anywhere

I kicks may need high walls

some might find this familiar

LST (not the tspin setup)

Clear two S/Z-Spin Doubles consecutively

First 3 are annoying to build, but probably the best setups.
Setups with only horizontal spins are mostly stackable for more building and clearing flexibility.

any

ZS/SS

Left is relatively easy to build.

Easier to build, harder to clear.

Setups where S/Z ends up vertical are probably bad.

But hey, they look cool?

Clear two L/J-Spin Doubles consecutively

Easily the best setup due to how compact and simple it is. Toss unneeded pieces to the side. Also consider building it in the center to save time.

any

Massive setup that accomodates anything but is extremely difficult to build, especially under pressure.

JL/LL

-Hugh777

JL/LJ/LL

Situational setup. One mino makes all the difference.

JL, LL (like the one you'll take)

Perform a Color Clear

A Color Clear refers to clearing all colored minos on your board and is slightly easier than an All Clear. This task may take some practice.

Check if you have an even number of colored minos on your board.
If not: Clear enough garbage to create color clear parity. If you have an odd number of colored blocks, clear one or three rows of garbage.

Stack flat, stack clean, and use S/Z in the stack. L/J/T in hold may help.
