Tales of Xillia 2: Rideaux 2 & His Gun Groupies [Unknown/Auto Only]

[@frubam]

Guess the AI isn't as dumb as I thought, as long as the cards line up correctly. I thought it'd go downhill around the 3:00 mark, where everyone got grouped up and he started doing his surround attacks when you had no TP, but they pulled through. I'm so glad I don't worry about this fight; it looks like an absolute pain, even from an full party Auto perspective(even though you got on the 1st and 7th try, finding the right flow I can see being difficult). I guess that's where your experience comes into play =03. That ending was pretty crazy D0=! Probably shaved a good minute off the run and it was a cool finisher too =03.

This take got pretty lucky with Rideaux wanting to use Dancing Bayonet as his finisher (1:21 is a perfect example) more often than not. Most failed runs lasted at MOST 90 seconds thanks to Rideaux bullying one person (usually Judelius) while the Agents pinned the others. Either that or the Agents join in and anyone not named Ludger (Last Stand helps him hold out) won't survive. Things MOSTLY calm down once they're gone, but Rideaux's wide attack range is still pretty scary since everyone here is at risk of getting hit when healing whoever's low. Rideaux's range is 100% why unlike my usual M.O., I let everyone but Ludger use their heal arte since Ludger's our damage sponge. But yee with tailored artesets and using the strategy menu to its fullest, the AI's only three unfixable flaws is they rarely use backstep or sidestep if they're not set on Protect Yourself (they do use guard though), they don't use above PC1, and everyone sans Leia likes to stay grounded even when they've got some aerial-enabled artes. Everything else is mainly up to learning how everyone behaves (like how unless set to Protect Yourself, the AI ALWAYS tries to heal anyone below 33% HP unless all heal artes are off). I'm glad I can make 'em look like a decently oiled machine. www I am a proud mom seeing Ludger use the Linked Mystic Arte to roast Rideaux. Makes me glad we died at least once as you can't turn on Milla M's Special/Linked Special without hitting retry first. Anything to save us from Rideaux deciding last second Judelius deserves 0 XP again. But I guess it's very in-character for him lol
