Oh boi... did so bad here. Not just about not learning the boss, but I didn't have a grasp on some of the basics as well. Still serves to show where I started, and compare it to where I am now, and/or where I will be in the future.

That cape tho......
Last half is kinda wonky; he got paralyzed, which prevented a counter. No counter, no lockdown. Paralyze, if it takes effect, can mess up my rhythm and cause him to attack out-of-turn, so that part looked pretty sloppy.
You can see his backsteps are on point. As I said with Luds, he will dodge pretty much everything that doesnt have a lingering hitbox, resulting in a Time Stop. Demon Fang prevents him from successfully backstepping it.
Two things(actually three) are unusual in this video, not counting editing the Chromatus transformation out. Guesses?

Longer version using the file that I didnt intentionally level up. This one was done a while ago, but I didnt like it too much and its a tad too long for my tastes, so I opted for the leveled-up version.")

Not much to say here. Bosses were defeated rather smoothly compared to Ivar. Got lucky that Agria was summoning in the first battle when Presa stunned me(getting drilled once = dead), but the battle wasnt so hard it couldnt be duplicated =0.")

First, let me explain an unfortunate unintended glitch(not really glitch as it is doing what its supposed to do) of Runic Shield, since this is very annoying when a combo is effectively dropped because of this. If the aselia wiki is to be believed, RS effectively reduces all damage to 5%. You dont need to guard for this to take effect, you only need to be inside the shield. However, if you happen to be inside the shield and do nothing, an enemy attack will cause you to auto-guard. Nothing wrong with that, right? Now lets say some tenacious enemy is attacking Pascal while casting inside RS. Once the spell is cast, if that enemy is attacking Pascal, depending on what frame to attack happens to hit on will put her in auto-guard status, effectively cancelling all cast time reduction and start the A-arte chain over. Most of the time, you cant see it, because if there are 30 frames/sec, frame 1 = spell cast; frame 2~3 = enemy attacking; frame 4~5 = press button for next arte, so it just looks like it reset by itself. So in the future, if you see my cast time drop all of a sudden, during some spells, you know why. Its not just limited to spells either, as you may see two 1CC A-artes in a row while in RS at some point. One such example is at 1:08, when the GentleEel riverdances and suddenly, my cast time is slower, despite using three A-artes beforehand in that combo. Most times I just cancel the cast, but occasionally, I may just use it and start another A-arte chain afterwards.
That out of the way, not much to say about these battles. They dont do much damage individually, but overtime, itll add up. Cryas artes seem to really hurt her though. For the Gentleman battle, I focus on the Gentlemen, since his Nova Lightning and Icicle attack causes me to get the tar beat out of me. For the Sisters, Fourier is the man target, since you cannot perfect dodge any of her attacks, and Death Sentence will break your guard even if you block, so its a guaranteed hit for her Aside from that, just playing like usual; no fine-tuning tactics or anything, just me playing casually.
Kinda had reservations of uploading the rest that I had, but despite the quality of some of the battles, and lack of motivation from using the same arte chains, I am going to do so anyway.")

The final battle. Its kinda what started it all. To be honest, I thought my first uploaded attempt to be meh at best. The time it took me to defeat them was 12 mins, where my peers where averaging under 10 mins(or 20 mins for those who didnt use 2x dmg). I never really considered this a contest or some notion of whos better or anything, but I felt that this fact emphasized the fact that Leia was lacking in melee in comparison to Al, Jude, Milla, even though this battle should be the last thing I use to gauge any type of abilities between characters. Thus I knew that Id have to work a bit harder to achieve the results I wanted.
Nothing really needs to be said about these two that havent already been said to death already =0. Unlike my previous attempt, I put Leia as the last entrance; no interruptions, no using other characters as bait. Instead of going after Muzet, I go after Gaius because (a) I wanted to be brazen instead of attacking Muzet in desperation and (b) when linked person A gets hit, linked person B takes 1/4 the damage, so because of the large differences in their HP, Muzet will eventually die. I hold nothing back, and use any tactic that will work, regardless of whether I think its cheap or not.
And thats all folks =03. I appreciate any and all who took a moment out of their time to gander a look at my gameplay. I hope that those who only saw Leia as an item-using tool will consider her innate potential, if not in this game, surely the next. Nevertheless, see you guys in Xillia 2 (^,^ )!")

Fight with one of the bosses in Battle Mode in the demo.
This is Chaos mode, acquired through means of CE of course. However, other than that, and a code to remove the arte pause, no other cheats were used; no hacked weapons, stats, skills, etc; everything was acquired by going through the level.
This boss is pretty tough, but still manageable with some skill and a little luck. I start the battle with using the MAs because the party will eventually die, losing all of their BG, so might as well get free damage. Unfortunately in this take, it wasnt nearly as smooth(usually can just MA, swap char, take 1 fwd step, attack, MA again) but eh, whatre you gonna do =02? I use Magilous swap attack to steal Dryads infinite-A.Def buff, then swap Laphi back in; Geostigma and Kalaidos Ray can deal weakness dmg, plus KR has long animation that locks him in. After that, its simply play good with Rokurou(good being used loosely =0b). If I knockdown the boss with the counter, and Eizen has more than 3 Souls, Ill switch to him and do his BS for a bit of extra damage. For Vel, its just MA, then spam BS ( )...
His normals, Mow Down, Freeze Lancer, Air Thrust, Gravity Well, and Hell Gate are simple for me to avoid or counter(and fortunately the AI is pretty good at not dying), but his Grave is extremely quick; it casts in 23 frames and the attack itself hits on the 33rd frame(i.e. it hits in half of a second) which makes it fairly difficult to dodge on reaction. He generally uses it to counter casters too and does well over a 1000+ dmg unguarded/650+ dmg guarded, making this battle much more difficult than it should be =01.
Hopefully as I get used to the battle system, Ill be comfortable enough to use multiple characters and avoid relying on single-direction moves ( )...
