Anything beyond that just gets you there quicker. The timing of your clears does not matter. I cannot play for placement because the timing of the slices doesn't work for me, so I have always played for progression. I've been doing this since they introduced SCL's and never had any problems hitting max progression.

I've been doing this since they introduced SCL's and never had any problems hitting max progression. While you might not play for placement, if you have the time i'd recommend you always do full clears. There's just too much (R)ISO left to let that go to waste. Especially ISO is a scarce commodity nowadays.
