Скачать или смотреть XC:DE - Yaldaboth 2 NG+ with Arts Inheritance Strategy - Player Controlled Dunban

So I came up with this strategy since I've been routing NG+ with Arts Inheritance which utilizes a party using Final Cross Riki instead of Sharla. This new party gains time in some areas and loses time in others. One of the major areas of time loss is the Yaldaboth 2 fight.

The basic reason for why any non-Sharla route is slower here is that Sharla gets +5m range on her ranged arts, allowing her to spam Cyclone to kill off all 3 energy devices at once. For a while, there wasn't any good way to contest this due to needing an art of 25m range to hit the back Energy Device without having to walk all the way around.

This is where Descriptionless Buster comes into play. This is a physical art with lower scaling than the normal Buster, but has a 25m fan-shaped hitbox. This can be used to kill the back Energy Device, then Cyclone can be spammed to kill the closer two.

Timed from the first frame of Yalda2's HP bar appearing until the first frame Yalda2's HP bar was empty, this fight was 50.57s. This is only about 1 second slower than the fight done in the current Any% with Arts Inheritance WR, which was 49.53s and performed by Itss Tyler. This should be taken with a grain of salt though, as he got 1 burst affinity during his fight while I got none.

Regardless, this saves up to 15s over the old strategy for no-Sharla, and should save at least 10s if you do get a burst affinity. This is enough to get the Riki route to be ~5-10 seconds faster (depending on burst affinity luck) than the current route, not counting any menuing differences (as the Riki route was ~5.5s slower before this optimization).
