From Main Story Chapter 7:
It initially took me quite the while to find an algorithm for Chronos. He has no weaknesses, so knowing how and when I could attack was paramount. I could have spammed Eagle's Rage(something that I did too much in future battles, to my dismay =01...), but if something less spammy can be done, I'll attempt to do it. This is a result.
Let me mention a minor note about boss behavior. When a boss counterattacks, initially, he will only attempt the ctratk, then slowly back away for 60 frames on a 30fps player(yes, exactly 2 secs). After the first 2 times, the boss will atk immediately, after a half-second delay. This effect refreshes itself every ~45 secs from the moment they initially counter. It's important to note, since I tend to use that 2-sec recovery time to deal additional damage, and cut the after-ctratk 'combo' down after it happens twice. There's a time restriction on OVL too, but I don't know if its 45 secs or a full minute, but its not of any significance anyway.
After fighting him so long, I found out he can be combo'd if he is in the air. The first time he attempts to counter in the air will always activate his OVL. After that, if he gets knocked into the air again, and his OVL hasn't refreshed, you can perform a semi-infinite combo without any weakness. He can even be lifted one extra time if you break his guard with one hit(not shown here though). Leia can easily break guards and launch almost any boss into the air all the same. Nonetheless, I figured it might be seen as 'cheap', so I did one with a different strategy(link below), but I didn't like the Trinity Bit part much. Unlike Jude, it's not easy to use her elemental artes without getting Chronos Collider'd, and the strike resistance NEVER seems to go away, so I played it safe.

This took WAYY too long(over a week, not counting time spent with her on Muzet), since Im not familiar with Milla outside casual play. Had to truncate both combos since he dies quickly(only 1x dmg GS option here). I JUST now thought of using an All-Divide between combos, but Ive gotten crapped on because of the non-arte electric field )=0[, plus I put in extra work to trim the fat off the combos, so Im satisfied with this.

This is my sayonara to Xillia 1, and I thought to do this with a redux of my Leia run. This run, though called a speed run doesnt necessarily mean I trying to get the fast time; just means that battles will be over quickly.
*steps on soapbox*
The general idea is this: Leia is a fairly limited melee character in comparison to her peers(Al, Mil, Jude), however the disadvantages of her lack of artes are not as much of a blight as people think. It was my wholehearted goal to emphasize this in my initial run. Against bosses, Leias aerial artes Rabid Lunge(against a boss in counterattack phase) and Crescent Flash are akin to Judes Palm Strike; possibly stronger if Sky Soldier(+25%dmg, -25%TP consumption) is used. Most importantly, all 10 of her artes have their uses, but my lack of experience in early portions of the run led to sub-standard gameplay. Still, I feel that, because of her limited # of artes, seeing the small amount of combos at her disposal for a long period of time makes a drag to watch. Since I was redoing the final battle by using Exels gald-farming trick, I figured it was a good time to go through and do everything over again while revisiting the story before X2 released. *steps off soapbox*
So this is it. Everything Ive learned by hard work and training, as well as watching how others approached bosses and tactics they use, I put into this run.
Obviously 2x Dmg/ 3x Crit is used. I used herbs to up my P.Atk and A.Atk to about 5000(because I was killing the first bosses in 12 secs when I maxed it out, lol), and maxed it out after Nacht/ before The Chim battle(cause they were kicking my arse). No armors, no Last Stand skill, no 30+ lv Iron Stance, no *elem* Guard skills, none of that(I did have an E.Circlet eqp on the Chim battle, though I didnt need it). Last boss, of course, is the exception. Battles will be quick. Leia is an aerial character, so I wont be holding back from attacking from high-in-the-sky if necessary. Same with Soulspin spam(expect a lot of that).")
