Ive been doing that without noticing lol.

I just dont use chain attacks as much. Good to know..

Yeah, finishing off near endgame bosses and super bosses with a full burst chain attack is pretty essential to learn, I think. A lot of them have desperation moves that activate when their health is half or lower and the chain attack gives you full invincibility during their attacks. I'm glad I ended up finally getting the hang of doing that because I probably wouldn't have survived the final boss.

Also finishing off enemies with chain attack gives mad experience, especially higher-leveled ones.


So you need to do 1 art then 2 then 3 chain attack with opposite elements?

Luckily Ive been using various elements.


If an enemy has three orbs lets say light, dark, and fire you need to break one/turn to continue the chain. 2 light, water, or dark blades will break their opposing orb. If you use non-opposing elements (say wind) they hit a random orb and if you can't break an orb in a round the chain attack ends.

One orb will fill a fifth of the full burst meter. Breaking two in a single turn fills up half or a bit more I think. If you break 2 in one round it only takes 4 orbs to full burst.

I tested it in the cave with the spider queen.

Basically I need to built level one fire. And all my arts to refill..use level one. Cancel every attack and then use level 2. Tough window but Ill get used to it.

If aqua is on does doing fire pause the gauge? Seems so.

Performing Driver combos will pause the blade combo meter.

From the sound of it you need to use/change your pouch items. Musical instruments give a lot of special recharge. Everyones pouchs will probably be art and special recharge, like the expensive dessert from argentum and the musical instruments from torigoth.

Ill check it out.

I noticed I can have Morag do level one and then have level 2 built up with Rex. Blade combo killed 3/4ths of a level 48 monster.

Something I don't think the game ever tells you Male/Female party members have different ai. The males prioritize driver combos while the female ai prioritizes Blade combos.

Remember to go back to Tora's house as soon as chapter 9 starts. There is a pretty long quest but its really worth it.

Yeah, game definitely gets much more enjoyable once you "get" the combat system. A shame it's so poorly explained.

God damn that Malos fight.

I ran Nia as a blade. Tora and Morag got 3 orbs on him and then burst then when he was low. Stupid pit he can fall in!

And thats not the end of the chapter?

move all remaining groundhog mercenaries to the front lines. Have sheep troopers squadrons A and B flank the cows. They're using DC-17 hoof blasters.

Yeah did they explain how it came to be or is it just a nod?

I felt these last two dungeons shouldve introduced the wall climbing and locked doors sooner. And free falling some things..ugh.

I take it as more of a nod, but there's gonna be more references later on.

From then on the game speeds up pretty hard and you get even more overpowered for reasons tc now knows. But the story also really picks up a bit. Doesn't fix the issues its had but I always enjoy the next parts. Also Pnuema is a really good character design even if you don't like the others.

He is definitely my favorite but Malos has some good scenes and interactions with him while acting out much more. Another big dissapointment is there is no bonus fight with Jin and Malos resonating and using each other as blades. That would have been a pretty cool boss fight with some awesome potential.

I'd argue he had a pretty damn good excuse. Rex waking Pyra up was an enormous setback.
