Yeah the reality is all these 1 hp builds are just win more/gross overkill and at worst force you run around in a weakened state that could go south if you are tripped up by some sort of trick. Such as Bosses sometimes lock out skills so I don't like being a 1 trick pony/glass canon. You can make Hikari wreck the game with far less investment way earlier in the game. If you unlock merchant, with boost start and fullpower, you can just spam his lament power at lvl 3 and wipe the floor with 90% of the enemies in the game which trivalizes combat.(bring Tenemos and Throne for greater advantage at night.) It doesn't require refilling SP, being at 1 hp, or using any specific secondary job/weapon. You get full special attack every new fight and should have enough firepower win immediately, or rest your team should be able to finish the job. The bosses in this game honestly get grinded up pretty quickly without resorting to 1 hp builds. May be the secret/final bosses justify this level of force(I've yet to face them as I'm working my way up to it.), but everything I've faced dies extremely quickly without using any of this. For other 99% of the game you will be burning alot of Sp and needing sit at 1 hp when plenty of more flexible and reasonable options exist.
Another skill you might consider if you have a thief in the same party is Unfailing Speed. It deals damage to all enemies, lowering their shield points by 1 and raises the parties speed for 2 turns. You can find it in Merry Hills, to the left of the shrine entrance.
@@Dogasus From Montwise gate, exit the town and head south you should see some festival props when near the character is in the north section of the town, to the left
If you want any of these skills way before you should probably have them then throwing bottled nightmares and poison/sleep dust buyable from the black market at them which will slowly kill them aslong as you don't wake them up or let it wear off, some initial luck needed to have sleep stick one turn 1 but from there you just keep throwing pocket sand.
Warriors Blade is similar to Limb from Limb but it hits 3 times instead and it also buffs his phys attack for 3 turns. Bandelam has it. You can find him atop a hill near the Crackridge anchorage.
Warriors blade is better than limb for limb for most of mid and early Late game until you really start to hit that 100k cap in which limb to limb is objectively better
Hornets' Nest is a pretty good skill too. It deals Bow, Dagger, and Polearm (x3) damage to a single target. It's good for reducing shields, especially with Sealticge's Seduction. You can get it in New Delsta from the Tutor, the same one that has a 2% drop rate for the Battle-Tested Bow.
for me in the beginning I have Hikari learn Deep Analysis this is so good until in end game content other is Limb from limb as the video say this skill is OP combine with Dancer Divine skill this skill is broken after gain Alpione amulet I replace Deep analysis with Last Grasp for damage(1 HP Hikari is god of Physical Damage) other three is Divine Protection(used in during late game during last story boss fight and change to Sentencing Gavel in the end game) Merciless Blade(use during farm rare monster and change to Boost from beyond in the end game) and fatal fang this skill with Dancer Blade give a lot of debuff to enemy I like it.
Oh noes, not all my SPs. Ochette: max boost, Provoke Beasts, activate latent, deactivate latent, Provoke, Battle-Worn Shark x3, three other summons. Party regains all HP/SP / 3 BP. Ochette (without exploit): max boost, Provoke, Battle-Worn Shark. Party regains significant HP/SP / 1 BP. Castti: max boost, activate latent, Medicinal Concotion, Plum Leaf x4 + Strengthening Serum. Hikari regains 800 SP. anyone: throw a Refreshing Jam at Hikari. Hikari regains all HP/SP. Farmable item.
In terms of Ochette, any level 10 monster fits these criteria however it should be stated that all level 10 monsters are one use per fight. This includes the story-based summons(Cataracta, Tera and Glacis). My personal choices would be Dreadwolf(4-hit all knife attack with stat debuff), Battle-Worn Shark(1-hit all knife attack and you heal HP and SP based on dmg and 1 BP), and Scourge of the Deep(1-hit single staff attack that breaks 6 shield no matter what). Now there is a glitch based around Ochette's story EX skill, Provoke Beasts, that utterly decimates the balance of the game. You can use all the level 10 monsters however much you want and can be used multiple times during a single turn. Whether you use it or not is up to you and your standards. Its pretty well known so a simple google search will do the trick.
Love the video :) 0:40 Last Gasp Problem with the 1 hp.... that is also single use. Or you need to 1st prep for a 100% barrier/deflect. 1:49 Limb for Limb 2:32 sentencing gavel 2:59 shield thief 3:30 Boost from beyond. L4L and BFB lets you hit 5 times for 99999. That will send Galdera running for its mother. Now to figure out how to do 99k. For some reason I am stuck at 40, 50k.
Boost From Beyond is a great way to get Hikari into that low hp/high damage state. But apart from that, it's pretty useless as other characters can easily boost the entire party without little to no consequence.
Theres no need to get that skill. You can just lose on a duel with Hikari and he’ll leave himself with 1 HP. Just go to the judge in tiberian and he’ll do it for u. Really simple
Consider this setup: - Hikari, Agnea, Dancer Throne, and a cleric all start with Step Ahead - Hikari uses BfB to maximize his party members' BP - Agnea uses Lion Dance with a BP-granting ally on Hikari - Throne uses her latent and simultaneously gives Hikari the Dancer's divine and lowers the main enemy's defense - The cleric gives Hikari the Cleric's divine so he can act again at the end of the turn - Hikari uses Limb From Limb / etc at near-maximum potential to all enemies on Turn 0
They are definitely nice skills but not as OP as you're making them out to be. Since your stats that are used for these skills are at stat cap it makes a poor demonstration for people trying to build characters.
I don’t know if anyone else has mentioned this but the skill Right hook (which I believe is from the guy guarding the chests in the casino in New Delsta backstreet) is a decent alternative to shield thief! It costs a little less sp and cannot be charged for more breaks, but it’s decent for duels!
Maybe I’m being too sensitive, but that intro was a bit harsh. This community is awesome, so let’s not spread unnecessary negativity. With that out of the way; your videos an content are awesome an inspire me to start making content. Keep up the good work! Much respect.
Frenzied Fire Bow Skill and Merciless Blade sword skill are also great skills for Hikari. Merciless Blade is a guaranteed hit on any enemy for 3000 damage unboosted. It never misses and is great against Caits and Octopuffs since you can hit them with that skill. Frenzied Fire hits 5-8 times on all foes for bow damage and is I believe the best bow skill he can get. My setup is Sentencing Gavel, Last Gasp, Limb for Limb, Merciless Blade, Frenzied Fire. I did have Mythical Bore early on and I used that skill to farm the skills I wanted and got rid of that last once i had all the skills I wanted. I might switch out Frenzied Fire for Shield Thief though as I like the idea of having a skill to automatically break shield points
Reason why sp draining works for temonos is because with an sp regen accessory he can recover almost all his sp next turn on a broken foe using mystical staff i think where as hikari struggles to regain sp right?
The problem with this video(and many others) is people giving builds for when you are already done with all challenges of the game. Mythical Bore entire purpose for example is to get it early and safely annihilate a duel or boss you wouldn't be able to in any other way and get some new equip piece/skill earlier than you should have it. It's a big carry for majority of the game if you use all your SP nuts on Hikari(you should anyway as Hikari is probably the only one who really needs more SP) It's fully safe unlike sitting at 1 HP which is only safe once you can one shot without breaking. Not to mention having to set yourself to 1 HP means either wasting time on the skill mentioned in the video or annoying steal grind of forbidden potions. You also can't use AoE heal during the strategy so it's literally designed with 1 turn finish in mind. When it works - it's nice but problem is that it starts working super late. Heck, it's much faster to just fully restore SP than trying to survive with 1 HP before you can 1 turn win confidently. Generally the key Hikari skill progression is: 3-5 hit spear/axe skills from tier 2 towns for breaking + default nuke or limiter nuke for damage > Lionheart axe skill(does 2 hits but each is massive damage) and alternatively the EX skill eventually > Limb - a potential 400k but by time you realize this potential you are kinda done with the game and there is hardly anything to use this on. Basically for this to be better than lionheart axe you need to reach a total of 50k damage per hit. Assuming you overprepare it's doable but you honestly never really need to bother with this.
So basically you're telling me that you have to be at 1hp to emulate the damage that Mythical Bore can do with zero setup? "Look at what they need to do to mimic a fraction of our power" 😂
Both are the same i think. Yes last gasp doesn't need sp, but 1 hp means easy to die. Mythical bore empty your sp so you can't use skill anymore till you replenish your sp. Terms of dmg i think last gasp still better, but terms of survivability mythical bore is better.
@@ragnarok5652 You can let Hikari die and revive with 1 HP at a convenient moment. Then load up with BP and go at it again. There is also the chubby cait that grants immunity. So there are ways to navigate around that 1 HP, And there are only a few monsters where this is needed: 4 times 99k kills almost everything.
I wouldn't recommend shield thief & rather have one character dedicated to this like Ochette with her summon 6 pets skill, if you don't care about playing fair, you can glitch her to summon 6 pets EVERY turns (3 of them being the shark) Problem is, she will heal your Hikari to max HP every turn so it doesn't synergize with 1HP tactics
I think I was around lvl 50? In good gear he only hits you around 800 to 1000 with his skills and last gasp for him doesn't get stronger as the fight drags out so its not exactly a 'rush to beat him' fight
Why do you need both the BT blad and the Giant's club to deal max damage for skills like Limb for Limb? Wouldn't it only look at the p. atk on your equipped sword since it's a sword skill?
The BT blade and Giant's club have an Equip Effect (not an Attack Effect) that raises the potency of all physical skills for simply having them equipped. This is also the case for weapons that raise the potency of magic attacks.
both increase all physical damage by 30%, and both stacks, thats a massive 60 % damage increase, combined those with finisher's claw accesory which increase critical hit damage i think around 25 to 30% and alpione's amulet which inrease damage the less your health are, at 1 health, it gives 100% physical damage boost. then there are passives that can increase damage boost even further. add all these and u can easily deal 99999 4 times with limb from limb without any buffs or debuffs against bosses and use sentencing gavel for 99999 3 times AOE in normal fights, last gasp for farming battle tested stuffs, merciless blade for farming caits and octopuffs, boost from beyond, mythical bore, frenzied fire, shield thief, fatal fang and many other more are uncessary tbh once u have limb from limb, sentencing gavel, last gasp and merciless blade. though like he said, boost from beyond is perfect set up anyway.
1HP Strat are usually All-In. You need kill Boss before he attack. Usually you setup a party with Cleric Divine that allows act again at end of turn. Skill Step Ahead for ALL members to setup the initials buffs. A members with Shield Break skills.(Ochette is the best as she can summon 6monsters at the same turn) And a Crit Guaranteed skill like Inventor Crítical Scope or Dolcinea assistente skill that Hikari can learn. With this setup you can almost single turn everything.
just break boss in first turn, use Head start and Agnea wind skill or Ochette net skill to prolong this. This will give you enough turn to break boss and save enough BP for hikari. Or use Patitio BP boost to hikari to finish the job🎉
Is there some kind of condition or quest that must be completed or not completed for that guard to be in Montweiss? I've not seen him and I've completed everyone's chapters.
honestly Ive been testing some magic skills lately and they mostly seem not great. I like Compound Formula which does a fire, dark, and light attack all at once to all foes.
"It miss a lot" isn't drawback at all, this move combine with BT bow you get a free def down+ breaking enemy with bow weakness. Good learned skill doesn't always have to deal high dps at all.
@nick-en3ct The only other character who might want accuracy seeds is Ochette and hers is pretty high naturally. Just dump all your seeds on Hikari and he'll rarely miss with that skill.
how do you always deal max dmg like that. I use setup boost atk and debuff defense of enemies and use the same setup as you but i can barely do good dmg
I see the 1 hp and 9999 hp skill that is used with you last gasp / alpiones amulet, what is the name of that skill (for the 1 hp and 9999) and where do you find it ?
Depends, how much money do you have to spend? Don't want to spend any money, then level 9 enemies would probably need level 45 Hikari minimum. If you are low level with shit tons of money, you will need a lot of Bottles of Nightmare to keep the enemy asleep and poisoned.
learn one of the multiple hit skill like 3-5 spear/dagger/bow that hit his weakness, then save 3BP and unleash Ultimate Grand. Or use the revenge skill on hikari to do the same
His chapter 2 skill (Divine Dual Edge, hits all enemies twice with a strong sword attack) is decent for early to mid game. And since he has very high PATK, the move will still do good damage in a pinch on enemies that aren't weak to swords, especially max boosted. I managed to bruteforce several of the tougher story bosses from other characters' chapters with him just spamming that skill every turn.
@@OhRichard dunno if your being sarcastic or not, I'm kinda hitting a wall in the mid game. Most of my party is mid 20s some of my more used characters are in the 30s. My starter is level 40.
@Fahrenheit38 actually he is correct using mythical bore is a great way to easily beat these npcs to get the skills. After depleting ur SP use revitalizing jam to fully restore health BP and sp and do a fully boosted mythical bore if they are still alive after the first one. Most of the NPCs will go down after one or two. At most I think I had to use it 3 times to beat an NPC. Mythical Bore is a great way to farm skills
Thing is, I'm not... I wanna know what to do, but I also am just enjoying playing the game so far. I am only on Ch3 with everyone, save for Ch4 with Hikari and Osvald.
Very bad takes & advice here. For such a short video, you managed to squeeze in a lot of errors & misinformation. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT listen to any of this.
The line about unsubscribing from anyone suggesting Mythical Bore was funny. Harsh but hella funny.
*no cons*
*Must use specific accessory, job, and be at 1 health*

A members with Shield Break skills.(Ochette is the best as she can summon 6monsters at the same turn)
And a Crit Guaranteed skill like Inventor Crítical Scope or Dolcinea assistente skill that Hikari can learn.
With this setup you can almost single turn everything.
just break boss in first turn, use Head start and Agnea wind skill or Ochette net skill to prolong this. This will give you enough turn to break boss and save enough BP for hikari. Or use Patitio BP boost to hikari to finish the job🎉
What level should you be to defeat the NPCs that teach you these skills?
What amulet is it your referencing for the 1st couple of skills?
Are there even creatures challenging when you're dealing this much damage?
Nope. Except for the bonus boss, which is going to kill Hikari every turn for being at 1 HP.
Is there some kind of condition or quest that must be completed or not completed for that guard to be in Montweiss? I've not seen him and I've completed everyone's chapters.
Thanks for this video! Super helpful. Can you make one for the magic skills Hilkari can learn? In case you want to run a magic build on him
Purgatory is one of them. A fire magic that hits all foes.
honestly Ive been testing some magic skills lately and they mostly seem not great. I like Compound Formula which does a fire, dark, and light attack all at once to all foes.
@@JohnThaDreamer not sure I can recommend purgatory. The skill says its supposed to hit everything 3 times but only hits once
I really like Forlorn Requiem, as it's an ice attack that puts enemies to sleep.
@@tehbige73 Oh, huh, isn’t that skill pretty similar to Shooting Stars from Octopath 1? Same effects, but instead of fire, it’s wind.
i really like Chimera because i couldn't get Hikari to hit the damage cap with the other skills
What about fatal fang and merciless strike skills? Have u tested them? Guys any tips for dueling vs 8-9-10star npc's?
how can be like that? limb from limb is for single foe but you can make it to all, any idea?
what about frenzy fire arrow?
It misses a lot, from my experience and since it's magic it's mostly for breaking
"It miss a lot" isn't drawback at all, this move combine with BT bow you get a free def down+ breaking enemy with bow weakness. Good learned skill doesn't always have to deal high dps at all.
@nick-en3ct The only other character who might want accuracy seeds is Ochette and hers is pretty high naturally. Just dump all your seeds on Hikari and he'll rarely miss with that skill.
can you make an optimal route for getting his core items. ty
How about 闪记蜂巢 from New Delsta the lady teacher, it’s very useful too that 3 hit from 3 different weapon
Sorry mate, maybe i missed it, but what's the gear youre using? Do i need high speed etc
Frenzied Fire is the 🐐. I up’ed his accuracy, and have been hitting every shot 85-90% of the time.
how do you always deal max dmg like that. I use setup boost atk and debuff defense of enemies and use the same setup as you but i can barely do good dmg
Boost form beyond if use it in any HP it's give a same result ?
what about decidal fang from prisonor nr18666 in frigit isle prison? can hit 5-10 times dagger on single target and do poison
you're lying this skill doesn't exist
@@swenko8010 look for yourself, there is a prisoner with this skill on frigit isle inside the cells.
Where is that prisoner during the day? I can only find him at night.
@@swenko8010why would people want to tell lies on a single player game? Go see it for yourself.
The prisoner you're talking about is only here during night time when you can't steal skills
Wouldn’t the con be 1 hp? If you mess up you die
how to hit all enemy ? becuase shield thief or Limb for limb my single hit ?
I see the 1 hp and 9999 hp skill that is used with you last gasp / alpiones amulet, what is the name of that skill (for the 1 hp and 9999) and where do you find it ?
Hang tough on merchant? To survive the use of boost from beyond
how you get the hp from beginning of the battle at 1 hp? and how u get him on 9999 hp ?
How did you get the mermaid circlet? I've been looking for hours but I've got nothing
I believe you get it from the dancer on the 2nd floor of the tavern in canalbrine
Nice list thanks
What level do you suggest hikari to be for battling these npc
Depends, how much money do you have to spend? Don't want to spend any money, then level 9 enemies would probably need level 45 Hikari minimum. If you are low level with shit tons of money, you will need a lot of Bottles of Nightmare to keep the enemy asleep and poisoned.
its hard-to-get Last Gasp. i fought the guy over and over. my guy is up to level 50.
learn one of the multiple hit skill like 3-5 spear/dagger/bow that hit his weakness, then save 3BP and unleash Ultimate Grand. Or use the revenge skill on hikari to do the same
I'd say having 1hp is a massive con. And how bout a list for good skills he can learn a bit earlier than high level ones
His chapter 2 skill (Divine Dual Edge, hits all enemies twice with a strong sword attack) is decent for early to mid game. And since he has very high PATK, the move will still do good damage in a pinch on enemies that aren't weak to swords, especially max boosted. I managed to bruteforce several of the tougher story bosses from other characters' chapters with him just spamming that skill every turn.
Does Last Gasp hit multiple times? Seems redundant if it doesn't as you can already hit damage cap without it.
It hit once but will deal close to 99'999 even if the ennemies have their shield
99,999 Damage is insane!
Mythical Bore is great!... for learning the other skills ;)
Mythical bore can be used correctly if you just spam castti’s latent ability
Is there a Drunken Blade that hits 5-10 times. It seems 🧢 to me.
Why can't we see what level your characters are?
9999 HP ?????????
Nuts
@@luizeduardo1706 didnt know you find so many
@@Senpadakeep farming and u will get enough😂
@@keoneeweyummy9610 completed the game without the extra nuts. It takes hours to find one single nutW
I too believe that Mythical Bore is trash... soooo if anyone wants to throw me a sub...I wouldn't say no!
i am not even at mid game and barely able to hit 5k dmg and now i saw this 😅
awesome 😁😉👍
I'm like mid game, how do I beat these people to get thier skills? I get face rolled everytime I dual them
Pick up Mythical Bore.
😏
@@OhRichard dunno if your being sarcastic or not, I'm kinda hitting a wall in the mid game. Most of my party is mid 20s some of my more used characters are in the 30s. My starter is level 40.
@Fahrenheit38 actually he is correct using mythical bore is a great way to easily beat these npcs to get the skills. After depleting ur SP use revitalizing jam to fully restore health BP and sp and do a fully boosted mythical bore if they are still alive after the first one. Most of the NPCs will go down after one or two. At most I think I had to use it 3 times to beat an NPC. Mythical Bore is a great way to farm skills
how you keep and survive by your 1hp?
No idea if you’ll see this, but it’s the third merchant support skill called hang tough
still dont understand why you leaave hikari in 1 hp
He use Alpione amulet that allows low HP for bigger damage. Essentially 1HP will create 3X damage
Gimme shield thief all day
Honestly, I would rather have low SP than low HP. Mythical Bore is absolutely worth it compared to Last Gasp
Thing is, I'm not... I wanna know what to do, but I also am just enjoying playing the game so far. I am only on Ch3 with everyone, save for Ch4 with Hikari and Osvald.
Thanks for sharing!
notice most of his skill looks dull and boring.
It was trash lmao I was so mad when I I it
you nees to be using Partitio as an Arcanist to share his Rest ability to instantly restore the party's HP/MP to spam Mythical Bore
Wtf ?
Very bad takes & advice here. For such a short video, you managed to squeeze in a lot of errors & misinformation. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT listen to any of this.
Elaborate, please.
Imagine essentially saying "this entire video is invalid" and giving no arguments to back yourself up.
