>Using pneuma and a seven element burst, with pneuma landing the final burst on Ophion
I think she lowers my chain attack bonus every time I use her myself. On King Ken the Squid, I got 500% bonus with only 7 elements because the AI was acting too retarded to switch while using S+ Dagas on Rex every turn and S-S3 fags on Nia/dodgetank. Meanwhile, with 8 elements and at a lower health of the squid, Pneuma barely got to 400%. Either +60% blade combo of Dagas really works greater in chain attacks than expected, or she's bad for that by taking away a few turns of crushing the elements by wrecking them too hard. I wonder what the equation for blade combo damage is in the first place and how such a percentage affects it.
Sage because it's the third time I delete and repost as I forgot at least one spoiler every time.
3 orbs? Check that your AI partners don't have too many Break arts. They're retards and will always try to keep on the guy with them, even if there's no chance of applying anything without Beta Scopes. Also, use Pouch items with +0.x Art or +0.x special on them. They'll be using much more arts, and as a result they shall get the specials.
