Breaking Xenoblade 3s Chain Attacks (Postgame)Lawaleeth2022-08-03 | Just wanted to post something. I'm sure the meta will be much crazier in a few months, but I hope I'm the first to break 100 million.

I have learned better ways to improve damage, and decided to switch an Incursor out for a Soul Hacker support to provide strong Power Charge and Critical Hit Plus buffs. These buffs, combined with the Pause Buff Timers from Glittering Melody, extend well into round 3 which I can then reapply to get into round 5 with the buffs. This is extremely useful for hitting super hard. Like before, I use Bleed ticking to give a huge amount of damage.Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Super High Chain AttacksLawaleeth2022-08-16 | Setting up and going for a very high chain attack, my PB is 103,154,156 damage 12 days ago which was done not too long after I beat the game.Seraphic Ceratinia lv120 0m03s (Easy)Lawaleeth2022-08-13 | So I think this may be the limit for how low this superboss can go. Obviously, it has less health on Easy so it is more optimal for putting this boss as low as possible. That said, if there is a custom difficulty ever released that can make it have less health, I don't think it will go any lower than this.
The reason I open the menu, close it and take a capture on switch is because this causes a small delay on the boss spawning due to the lag. This small difference is just enough for Sena to run to the side of the boss before he spawns for the break and topple. From there every art is canceled and lines up into each other. All that matters in this run is getting the break, topple and launch, and getting both critical hits on the smash.
Here is the build: youtu.be/MD2keZKhrrESeraphic Ceratinia lv120 0m11s (Hard)Lawaleeth2022-08-12 | So this game is hilariously broken. I did a lot of testing and found that the damage of the Smash reaction is calculated based on the remaining duration of the Launch reaction. A full launch reaction can net a ~9 or 10 multiplier, but hitting it with launch at 75% remaining usually hits for only 4-5x multiplier. This means timing Smashes is important to hitting damage cap. I honestly wouldn't have expected this, but it is what it is. I am not confident how exactly it calculates, but I think it may be some kind of exponential function rather than a linear one.
Sorry for the subpar quality on the actual run itself -- wasn't recording at the time, but thankfully switch capture can capture the whole run due to how short it is. I immediately turned on OBS and recorded my gear setup, which is shown after the run. Please note that copying my gear to try it yourself, while it will work, this strat requires a LOT of practice and patience. RNG is a bitch, and there are many many factors that had to align themselves for this to work, but such is the nature for a WR speedkill.Seraphic Ceratinia Lv200 2m42s (Hard)Lawaleeth2022-08-07 | Unlike the last video, I spent a bit more time optimizing. I switched all my Soul Hackers to Incursor and to nobody's surprise its actually much stronger and faster, lol. I show the equipment at the end (skip to 3:01). Here is a strat summary from the description of the last video:
This strat primarily revolves around a trick I found and showed to Enel, where you can have infinite Invincibility and Awakening buffs on the whole party by setting up their respective conditions and using Signifer to share them and Glittering Melody to extend the buffs party-wide infinitely. This means that defenders are no longer needed in the game at all, and I can stack 4-5 attackers with various reaction arts to spam smashes and just really hard hitting arts in general.Fighting 6 Chaos Elfilis at onceLawaleeth2022-04-19 | This game is just touhou now. Also, I'm using a an atmosphere cheat to prevent me from taking any damage so if you point it out in the comments I'm gonna laugh at you for not knowing how to read :D. Also I'm playing this on emulator, and the dropping fps only happens because of how many are on screen. Haven't gotten that many on my switch yet, because without the cheat it's very insanely hard. The best I could do on my switch is 3 of them at the same time, but even with spring breeze mode and 2 bars of hp + reserve item to refill both bars, it's just way too much. I'd be impressed if someone got a really high amount of them onscreen without cheats.Kirby Meta Knight CupLawaleeth2022-03-31 | idkMeta Knight Cup 43.69s - Kirby and the Forgotten LandLawaleeth2022-03-31 | idk lol(WR) Six Stars Fan 72.8mil | Xenoblade Chronicles XLawaleeth2020-05-18 | Crimson aurora begin: 4:30
The reason there is 4 minutes of waiting is because of the importance of the weather. In Xenoblade X different weather types give you different buffs. One of the rare weathers that can coincidentally appear in this mission is "Crimson Aurora" which gives us a +125% potential attack buff, as well as a +125% ether additive. Unfortunately the mission can't start with the weather, it has to change into it.
In this video I display a strategy that has been discussed between elite players for a long time, but we have never been able to come together and finally do it. As I have played this game a lot, I thought this would be a fitting "goodbye". To reclaim the record for the receding rust that really brought me into the community of the game to begin with. I was very pleased with this. Also, everything went so smoothly you would not believe we did it first try!

This is our PB so far, maybe more runs in the future.Elma Reconnaissance Mission #5 - Rex, Shulk, KOS-MOS and ElmaLawaleeth2018-08-24 | This is the last "Keen Eye" node required to fill out Elma's affinity chart. Nice little cutscene, what a crossover.Testing Fusion Combos: Using two stage 3 Blade Combos on the same combo.Lawaleeth2018-07-29 | By using a projectile-based level 3 special as the blade combo's finisher, you can start another finisher. If timed right, you can get two driver into blade fusion combo effects with this. Note that the fusion combo is announced by the announcer when it's applied, and so you hear "Dead of Winter, Break" twice if you successfully pulled it off.Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - Ophion 8.32s kill (Scattershot is OP)Lawaleeth2018-05-27 | This is an improvement to Smalt's 9.5 second kill. Saving just over a second by getting his idea levels to 10, Tora is now able to kill Ophion with just a blade switch cancel and Dagas instead of Patroka.
Scattershot is so broken lolGrinding Toras Ideas (Setup)Lawaleeth2018-05-14 | Tora cannot resonate with common blades, so as a result his idea levels are extremely hard to raise. This is (from what I know) the best way to grind them.
The trick here is that you get extra idea points by killing bosses, and since these Indoline loyalists are considered bosses, killing 5 of them and jumping off the edge without killing the Indoline star will optimize the amount of points you earn.
I use Dagas to give me his 120% additive multiplier, as well the increased area-of-effect range for my AoE arts (steady beam) which is also a 120% increase. Running over to that specific spot before using steady beam is the best setup I've found for killing them all, but even sometimes one will still survive.
Hope this helps.Artifice Ophion Speedkill in less than 15 secondsLawaleeth2018-03-07 | Zeke sucks =P Final time was 13.475s timed from Rex's first hit to the last hit in chain attack.
Enjoy my potato camera, at least I could somewhat capture audio with an aux cable. Sorry if it's a bit quiet, aux cable was picking up some ugly white noise lolLevael, the Terminus ON FOOTLawaleeth2016-10-23 | I did this on foot, though I did have to use a skell to fly up there to begin with. I also used the skell to destroy the barrier to make the startup faster, since it takes forever for the skell to break if Leva'el is in his barrier.
Also my camera cut off at the end so I had to add a part to show my build, tried to do it fast since I ran out of space.

Hard mode increases damage taken by enemies in Paper Mario and also increases their health. After beating Paper Mario already we wanted an even harder challenge. This was mainly a reference video so we can do the yoshi skip again (a troll deleted the save file so we are a day's behind, we are attempting the yoshi skip again, it's okay though we now have a savestate command to prevent such a thing from happening again).
