Congratulations. The FES version of this exact same challenge did the same exact strategy years ago except purposefully attacking before she uses Mahamaon to lessen High Counter repel counts. Resulting in a more consistent victory condition. 1:50 What did you mean by this by the way? Could be an interesting thing to know because the three phys attacks she does are exactly identical in the Original and FES version (Even the affinity, they're all Slash type). So the "Pierce" version is weaker for this version perhaps? This also explains how Thor supposedly block Phys (He really only blocks Slash in reality). 2:34 You're using Ananta who blocks Light. So she uses Megidolaon instead. This behavior is present to all versions that's not Reload (It's slightly different there). Overall it looks like the same exact fight in this version, very interesting.
Drivemecrazy here - so what we meant at 1:50 was, during my testing to make sure this was possible, every time she used pierce it was 200-300 damage consistently, whereas strike and slash were 500-600 damage (sometimes 700 if I was lucky) consistently. And for the blocking physical, he does! Which was really REALLY annoying. When I come back for my rematch, we’ll show some clips of Thor blocking physical! :) And I did not know Anata blocked bless - I’m a dummy for that, I should’ve looked at his stats and affinities.
@@CreatorTheater_ Odd quirk I suppose. It wouldn't be largely identical to the later versions. That or you coincidentially got the Pierce Repel from her turns using Nebiros, which has phys resist (so the damage is halved). As for that Thor thing, I'm guessing it's a matter of actually using phys attacks on her rather than repels. Because if it's only repels then I'm inclined to think that it works the same as the later versions (all of her phys attack are slash and Thor nulls slash, ergo Thor nulls all repels from her).
