1st- Heal Round(-a-Round)- 8
2nd- Head Shot (Noggin Shot)- 4
3rd- Thunder Bullet (Crackle Bullet)- 3

Today: Dunban takes the lead. Will Blossom Dance pick up its second win after Best Quote or will we see an upset from one of his many cool combo arts or auras? Also it's nomination time for Melia, between her orbs and her interesting physical arts there's plenty to choose from!

Nominate up to 5 of the following Melia arts:
Elemental Discharge
Summon Bolt
Summon Flare
Spear Break
Hypnotise
Burst End
Shadow Stitch
Summon Aqua
Healing Gift
Summon Copy
Summon Wind
Starlight Kick
Summon Earth
Reflection
Power Effect
Summon Ice
Mind Blast

Tomorrow: Melia's poll and Riki's nominations.

Summon Bolt
Summon Copy
Summon Earth
Summon Flare
Summon Ice
(it's the order I use them in!)

Summon Wind is good too but situationally only really for higher level enemies.

---

I'll let Blossom Dance get a few more votes before i decide on my own vote

... tho maybe i just wanna keep piling on the Blossom Dances anyways

Elemental Discharge
Summon Bolt
Summon Copy
Starlight Kick
Mind Blast - entirely because of the cutscene

---

I'll definitely want Summon Wind on there, my lategame standard was Bolt/Copy/Wind and rotating the others. I'd vote Burst End but the long casting time annoyed me.

---

I never use summon copy because summon bolt recharges so fast and I just equip four of them

Summon bolt
Summon Flare
Summon Earth
Summon Ice
Reflection (saved me a few times)

---

Summon Wind
Burst End
Summon Earth
Summon Ice
Summon Flare

---

An hour or so to go.

---

all these elements without any discharge

---

11 Melia Arts have been nominated, the 5 non-orb ones with one vote each. I have 4 noms left so here goes:

Elemental Discharge
Mind Blast
Burst End
Reflection

Apologies to Starlight Kick!
