DQ11S - max damage with every character / weapon (info in desc)

all characters have 999 strength / 900 magical might (when applicable). i spent a long time getting all the clips for this and double-checking everything .. i was originally only trying to figure out the max damage that could be dealt with 1 attack, then decided to do this for every character, and then every weapon / skill group.
Pep Powers are excluded bc it would've been overly complicated

Vicious Skelegons are the only monsters in Act 3 that have a 2x elemental weakness (all other monsters only go as high as 1.5x). Act 3 is important so that Serena knows Doleful Dirge. Alizarin is 2x weak to lightning, but Act 2 only.
Golems and Coralossuses are the only monster lines that can use Forbearance. all of the Coralossus line are 1.5x weak to wind, and the Coralossus in the Secret Trial is accompanied by 4 other monsters. no other Coralossus encounter has more than 3 other monsters present, and there can never be more than 2 Coralossuses in a battle due to their size. Glacial Golems are 1.25x weak to fire, and there is 1 encounter at the Sniffleheim Whaleway Station where there are 5 other monsters present. there can be up to 3 Golems in 1 battle.
a couple of these clips are done in 2D mode due to battle mechanic differences. Pep can increase strength past 999 in 2D, and Lashings of Love hits twice (which is likely a bug / oversight). Unbridled Blade is really weird in 2D mode and the damage stops scaling after a certain point, so i had to use Cutting Edge with Hero (his 2D Cutting Edge can out-damage his 3D Unbridled Blade). for all the characters that get increased strength from Pep, all of their max damage can't be done in 2D mode because multi-hit attacks stop hitting after an enemy dies. so for example, if you use Falcon Slash and the 1st hit deals enough damage to kill, then the enemy disappears before the 2nd hit and you can't see the full damage.. so only certain attacks could be done in 2D mode, despite all of them being thechnically stronger in 2D with Hero, Erik, and Sylvando

sorry if im terrible at explaining things for anyone that read this lol. this video was fun to make. also, this isn't representative of what skills / abilities are necessarily better or stronger than others. for example, Wild Animaul has a very high damage multiplier but the damage potential is held back because there are no elemental claws. same for Jade's Hardclaw etc (Hardclaw is actually her best move if you have 999 strength)
