This Wingul is a bit easier than the one in chapter 8/9 due to the fact that he doesn't counter with Severing Wind consistently until after the 50%HP mark. This means that his only aerial counter will be Rising Phoenix, which is a move I am very used to dodging. So I pretty much follow a similar strategy as the original, focusing on using Shining Spiral to make him use his Rising Phoenix counter to dodge it, then counter with Soulstoke Spin when he lands. Respond to grounded counters with a single sidestep(or two) and use Linked Explosion to follow up with the aggression.
After 50%HP, he will add Severing Wind to the counter list as well as the Arrivederci spell. At that point, I will attempt to do push-away counters, then follow up(usually Eagle's Rage) after the counter. He can toss out the occasional Infernal Torrent, but its hitbox is mostly lateral, so its not much of a problem since I will go for aerial approaches at that point.
Modifications made:
- bosses have all weaknesses and resistances removed
- set Leia's Max HP to 18(so I can die in 1 hit)
- removed other party members
- set STR to 4000(this can be done legitimately at endgame)
- changed Chronos 3 encounter to the video's boss and battlefield to Illusionary Darkness; avoids needing to link to deal damage
- - result from above caps the encounter at level 77 by default instead of the enemy's original level(if its higher, and it will be for Shadow bosses)
Music:
VilllllL's - JazzMatazz vol.3(Track 28? I can't remember =0v)
Nicobox - Je bois
BIG THANKS to @Sora3100 for the cheat table to make this run possible =03!

Final Boss battle.
Non-Skillseal version(Leia only): http://youtu.be/wJ0Fw52coSk
Bisley....in some ways, he was harder than Chronos. He moves very fast, and his normals are practically instant. However, he has a lot of artes that leave him vulnerable and his Style Shift is very easily punishable. His Demon Burst(i.e. quick punch + Fireball) and Curtain Call are his most dangerous attacks, esp Demon Burst. His DB punch can be interrupted, but the fireball will always come out, even if he is staggered. Curtain Call is dangerous because you need a timed sidestep to dodge it 100%(you can mash, but you might get hit), and it can be used instantly from his knockdown position. Yes, that means in one frame his body is completely on the ground, and the very next frame he is completely upright in motion to circle around you for the hit. He also has a skill that allows him to occasionally resist being lifted into the air. I believe its the skill called Damage Control(avoid knockdown 30% of the time), but Im not entirely sure on that. Its not too threatening, but an unexpected no-lift can lead to a counter that I am not prepared for. However, afflicting skillseal prevents him from resisting uplift. Since Bisley is more susceptible to status inflictions(or at least more susceptible at my level[160]), 2 hits from Eagles Rage guarantees being affected.
Outside of that, nothing fancy, just aggressive play, not too much different than Id do a normal foe. Since I felt it a bit lackluster for a final boss and the 2nd Bisley is just more of the same, I decided to tack on that bit in the latter half. Not nearly as polished as some of the best out there, even considering no PC, but it was VERY hard for me to do this regardless =0(. I gained a LOT more respect to those who can dual combo.
So with this, the run is finished. Looking back, Ive enjoyed some battles while others just felt like a chore =0. You can see the lack of motivation as I progressed through the run, in that my creativity waned, however, I tried to hide that lack of motivation by approaching the battle in different ways. Im still glad I didnt use PC2/3 so I could expand my style, but most still ended up as glorified combo videos that relied on a Power Combo anyway, so I still wonder whether it made much of a difference, or am I just telling myself that =02? Anyway, I hope youve enjoyed the show and I appreciate everyone who watched and left a comment =03.Til next time......")
