Helmcrusher moves very slow, so it's easy for Cheria to cast across the battlefield to stagger it, opening it up for Asbel and Sophie to follow up. He does get a long-range cannon shot after a HP threshold, but as long as I divert attention towards me and away from Cheria it is not a threat(ignore that I was very close making him miss a close shot 😏).
This is a casual party boss run as I play through the game. Hopefully this can be a visual guide for people stuck on certain bosses.

All GS options except Max HP+1000 were taken. However, 2x and 5x EXP were turned off before any battles(will consider them "turned on" even if I do it once and turn it off for the rest of the playthrough).

Never officially did this, and its the only thing not done on the playlist. Still hail these two battles as my most favorite in the game, so it was a treat to get back to it for a moment after playing a...less stellar version of this system *coughcoughZestiriacough* =03. My quick-steps werent 100% sharp like before, but it was still pretty fun.
Malik and Pascal will come later, but they arent nearly as fun to play and definitely not to watch, esp Pascal, whom the AI cant use for crap. Tales of Graces ƒ: Duels - Hubert/Sophie [Pascal]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9-5vFRAj4-E/mqdefault.jpg)

Guardian has really high Def and low A.Def, so Hidden Artes work to damage him well here. He has Iron Stance at the beginning of most of his attacks, so striking at the end of his attacks or when he casts is the best opportunity to start a combo. His attacks are easily telegraphed and his magic is easy to avoid, though Grave can be a bit of a problem if youre caught unaware.
Hes weak to Fiend and Armored. Hurricane Thrust, Mirage Dance, and Armor Crusher are the go-to artes to get a CHAIN going. Then its simply using the Form(Hidden) artes to do some good damage.
This take was a bit different than the combos I expected to do. During the first Form 2 into V. Stance(which is intentionally meant to break the combo so he can attack), I broke his iron stance twice(once with VP, again with HT). He also got pushed back pretty far from the Form 2 mine, which is very unusual considering his weight class, and since he practically always just iron stanced the VP(which would have flowed into another combo I had prepared just for that). After the iron stance break, kinda just freestyled it, which is why the combo variation is low. Still decided to keep it due to how perfect the fight proceeded.
I notice the over-reliance on Form 6. Gonna have to skip using that one in the next fight if Roku gets another turn =01...

Bryce.... his slashes are so random, its nigh impossible to discern which way to properly dodge, so I dont even play around with him. He can still kill me if he gets close, but I evaded him, blocked him, or simply AI failure at his every opportunity, so you really dont get to see what he can do. Letting him do so would be too annoying to stand, so, as expected, another combo video....
Cedric and Emeraude are exactly the same as their previous incarnations, except Cedric comes with all of his moves out of the gate, so it was more entertaining to fight him than I expected. Still, its Cedric =01. Eme was rather sloppy too, but I hyped myself up thinking that, after playing Cedric, Eme would do the same; come out the gate with the group energy balls, Nova Lightning, Whirlwind, etc, but nope, just same ol Emeraude. So I just got the first successful take(2nd try) and ran with it.
Havent forgotten about FQ either. Ive only succeeded beating her the cheap way so far, unintentionally, but dunno if I feel like going back to her at the moment. Tales of Graces ƒ- The Returners [Pascal solo]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9RrLPNpITjU/mqdefault.jpg)

So many hacks its ridiculous =01. Even with practically halving cast time for all non-Marta spells, and staying under the bosss level, it aint got anything on Lloyd.
2 more days til Zesty =03
changes implemented
-normals are easier to link; speed slightly increased; 2-hit normal pulls in on first hit; Up-normal animation+hit detection changed
-slight increase in recovery time between attacks(i.e. the time after your last attack before you can attack again)(all normals/artes); prevents DDfng infinite
-can use normals after artes(using artes count as +1 in normal combo count)
-some artes usable in air(TB, TR, Tempest, BT, RF, RP)(appropriate skills necessary)
-SR:Alp last hit vertical knockback increased; cancellable before last hit; can link aerial artes after last hit if in air
-Tempest/BT first hit vertical knockback increased(can carry some enemies with you)
-Adjusted cancellable arte time for all attacks
-R.Beast first it pulls in on first 2 hits
-All lv 2 artes(orig Symphonia) downgraded to base artes(TR, SR:A, DDF, Beast) Tales of Symphonia 2 ~ Dawn of the New World : Windmaster Prime - Lloyd solo](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AZmYqV6UIFo/mqdefault.jpg)


![Tales of Xillia 2 : Otulp (Catalyst) - Leia 2024 solo
Pretty much a recolor of Odin, with Thunder Fang being replaced by Cross Slayer. Cross Slayer takes nearly 2 secs to release, which is plenty of time to get to his backside to dodge it. It cant be staggered during it, but you can still get easy damage during its animation. Whirling Dragonfire still has its vulnerability like Odin.
He only has Dark and Water resistances, of which dont really affect me, but I still remove them. I do use Crescent Flash, but its usually when he has superarmor anyway, so resistance doesnt matter.
His Iron Stance is stronger than Odins was for this file; it didnt look like I had that problem in my original run, so maybe I used the wrong file. Hes also more likely to go for a normal when countering than Odin, so I opted to stay in the air mostly just in case I couldnt stagger him in time.

![Possibilities: A [hacked] Zestiria / Berseria combo video
Dont want to see cheat combos @ 1440p? Turn back now D0=...
Originally, I thought the previous video(the bad physics and inf CC one) was a bad representation of those codes, so I knew Id do 1 one more video to rectify those feelings. Since I felt a end-game Zestiria system using these codes, I thought itd be a good idea to toss Zestiria in there for a direct comparison sort-of thing(I do like modified Zesty battle system quite a bit =03). There are plenty of videos that showcase better, legitimate Zesty/Bersy combos, and, I digress, Im pretty bad on the Bersy side of things, but even so, I merely wish to show the possibilities that exist beyond the games natural limitations.
