A nice rendition of this games main theme that you'll hear when getting your ass kicked.
Look at this jerk of a fight. I lost my first attempt in such an unfortunate way. Kevin and Ries died, and I tried my best to recover but decided to prioritize moving my people away from Cassius into the top right corner. But then he used Phoenix Wave and killed Tita and Analace. So unfortunate and all my fault.
I am not above cheesing these jerks, or specifically Cassius. Loewe's honestly just there. Sure he hits hard, but he doesn't keep up the pressure like Cassius does with his moves. Loewe even missed a few times. He actually missed with his basic attack, quite consistently. I guess being dead didn't help keep him in form. And they didn't bother porting Earth Wall+ from the first game so his basic Earth Wall wasn't that good. He never even Body-Split if that's possible for this version of Loewe to do. I think he only ever used his S-Craft's once per fight, Demon Flames in the first and Dead Emperor Sword in the second.
So here's the big cheese. Cassius actually has somewhat bad movement, and it's surprisingly unlikely that he uses Armor Rend. Tita in Orbal Gear has a charge attack which knocks the opponent back. The distance it sends is juuust enough for Cassius to waste a turn trying to run back into the fray. You can lather, rinse, and repeat this action almost indefinitely if you're lucky. I say almost because I think Cassius actually becomes immune to knockback once he gets low enough.
