Te/Sl/A might well be meta. While Celeste looks good on paper, the secrets of Adras Perfection really make this style shine with Techter.
It isn't just having a free counter every 20 seconds at your full control (there are some issues). It's what Perfection provides:
-12 frame activation
-No hit stop
This results reducing Wand Counters from count by 20 (74 to 54 frames). When used with Element Pursuit, it also reduces Pursuits frames by 20 (83 to 63). Additional we can leverage Weapon Action animation cancel to reduce other attacks by 7 or 12 frames depending on the attack. For example:
-Normal Attack 3: 38f to 31; 35f to 28f with Wand Lovers
-Uncharged Swift Smash: 47f to 40f
-Uncharged Techniques: 45f to 38f
Combining these techniques increases both the DPS of these attacks when chained with Perfection.
In this video, I was able to complete 5 Perfections resulting in a total of 2,910 potency (Fomelgion is 2600 pot...read between the lines....) in addition to the dps enhancements provided by animation cancels. Additionally, this allows Techter to build Compounds, PB and Element Pursuit faster than any other style resulting in further DPS enhancements.
Cres (AB5) Wand/Talis Maintain Balance / Shortage HP / Pain Provoke
Cres (Blast5) Wand Maintain Balance / Shortage HP / Turn Over
514.6% Pot
93.5% Damage Variance (Floor Potency)

The key is to focus the back parts and work your way clockwise or counter-clockwise depending on your preference.

The ground is probably worse than Maxx, depending on where you both stand his attacks have varied timings and placements that can be hard to predict. An easy Sub 5 with Fixa Wix (I dont have). Id probably get more mileage out of EX Bitlz Style as well.

We might be entering an era where downs arent as pivotal or at the very least, they are becoming more scripted / purposeful than before.
While Xavier plays fairly normal, Hanumad, Agni, and Loser have all displayed very different bejaviors/mechanics. Hopefully, Nameless City V3 releases new EX Augs to help confirm this. Either way going raw power by the the safe bet in the coming months.

![[PSO2:NGS] Defeat Amplification Skill Ring is a Lifesaver | Techter (Te/Bo) | Agni Duel 4:06
Defeat Amp provides the necessary down accumulation without going overboard with augments like Gradual Pressing, which often leads to sacrificing damage or some other form of utility.
The issue with down accumulation is that its potency benefit is an all-or-nothing mechanic. Having too little to force an additional down results in damage lost. Having too much results in getting an additional down, but not enough accumulation for a subsequent down (aka overkill). Defeat Amp helps balance this out without having to go out of your way.
For reference my prior Agni personal best was 4:19 (at Te/Sl lvl 110). Defeat Amp makes it easier to determine which subclass you will need for each quest, as it gives you a strong sense of how much down accumulation you need and when.
However, this ring wont solve every fight. For bosses that dont have reliable down situations (DF Dalion) or bosses where Break bar doesnt really matter (DF Vael), another ring should take its place. That ring will likely be Count Amplification.
