"Even the smallest of sparks can grow into an inferno."
Well, here's a run of everyone's favorite Tales game :p. This run has honestly been a blast to record for. Bosses in this game do have discernable patterns and can even be manipulated in some ways so they are pretty fun to learn (with a few exceptions). Alphen himself is also pretty cool and I've always loved the concept of using HP as a resource. Being able to use the Blazing Sword so recklessly since Shionne is around to heal me felt very in-character for him haha. Though Alphen damaging himself is why this run is "No hit" and not "No damage". This is my first time doing anything with Arise, so I wasn't exactly the best player at the start of the run. I think I improve a lot throughout the run, so hopefully that improvement is visible!
Of course, thank you to Mystearia for playing with me! It was a lot of fun and I hope the rest of the bosses will be fun too :O

Know fear!
This is definitely one of my favorite X2 fights and probably going to be the best fight in this run for a bit lol.

Strategy:
Chronos is a boss who has no weaknesses and a resistance to gun and dark. This means Ill have to fight him in a different way to most bosses. Despite having no weaknesses, its possible to combo him as he only has aerial OVL as an air counter. If I put his OVL on cooldown, then I can juggle him in the air with him having no counter to it. Its quite easy to do this as Milla, as I can punish one of his melee attacks or Haste casts with Cloud Pierce to break iron stance and proc his aerial counter. Due to his gun resistance, something to keep in mind is that I wont be able to use Condemnation while juggling which is a little unfortunate. Something nice about Chronos is that he cant tech out of knockdowns so I can knock him down in mid air and re-stand him easily.
I also decided to show off some fun neutral stuff in this fight. Using my alt normal to pass through his melee attack like a discount Falling Snow, using Z-Slashers i-frames to go through Chronoss melee, and flash guards are all pretty fun to do!
Once Chronos hits 50% HP and not actively being juggled, Chronos will use something called Trinity Bit which is something I decided to play around this time. After he uses Trinity Bit, hell gain resistance to sword, hammer, and gun. When Chronos uses specific artes, these resistances get removed.
-Chain Strike removes Sword
-Chronos Collider removes Hammer
-Tetra Spell removes Gun
He generally loves to cast spells, so Chain Strike and Tetra Spell are rather easy to get out of the way. Chronos Collider is a bit more difficult. The way I like to bait out Collider is to go behind Chronos with Radiant Rondo after he uses Chain Strike. This doesnt work with Tetra Spell since he will turn to look at me while in the cast animation for Tetra Spell. This is an important detail since Chronos is highly likely to use Collider when Im directly behind him. When he uses Collider, I do a flash guard to nullify all of the damage from it and then start a power combo with Cloud Pierce. I can start a power combo because when all three artes get used, he actually becomes weak to the three physical elements.
