Yes you should.

Alright, here it is. I didn't record off-element runs, but it's exactly the same build. And no salt please, dun make me regret posting the video...

->Open Spoiler<-

As long as dummy kills Arthur then kills Tish (should be 1/6 chance of happening 'cos 1/3 for first kill, 1/2 for second kill)), I get the guaranteed 2B-2B-FB. Full explanation is in the video description for those that like walls of text.

Holy shit that damage is insane. You're just casually slamming 2m bursts, don't need no PF buffs or nuffin'

What I don't understand is this:

... since no type of Stealth and similar works on this dummy, what on earth makes those chances to high? Shouldn't it be more like 1/5 and 1/5-ish?

I actually dun burst that hard in actual raids, 'cos I prefer using high hp build so I can AAB off-element. But for this dummy, since I'm actually trying to get himes killed off, the hp isn't helpful, so I just stuffed my grid with more exceed than usual.

The first attack only targets the front row, so getting Arthur killed off is 1/3 chance as there're only 3 himes in front; second attack only targets the back row, so getting Tish killed is 1/2 chance. Assuming they are independent, I just multiplied the two probabilities to get 1/6 chance. I got all 6 elements done in roughly 40 tries, so, that's roughly consistent with the 1/6 estimate? RNG can decide to mess with you though, so someone else that tries this might end up with a lot more or a lot less attempts, no refunds if others try it and it didn't perform to expectations...

Normal people don't really have the luxury of deciding what they use.

I have a big problem that I simply can't get my Hime killed when on-element. Even after doing the only replacement that I can (Phul Hammer -> Jormungand Hammer) if I use Nidhoggr or B frame, I simply can't get oneshot anymore. Fuck. That kinda locks me into using SSR Baal for -50% Def...

... that's how it works? That would've been nice to know before. That would explain why I've never, ever had an attack hit the same Hime twice.

Also, dummy can miss an attack. Saw it few times on Sati, she seems like to often evade attacks btw.

I think that this Skill Checker-kun has a special attack so Blind doesn't work.

However, Immune or Evasion works. Sati has 2t Immune in her second ability, so that's what you're seeing.

<sob> If only I'd known that earlier. You'd think I'd have worked it out over the last 100 or so battles, but hey. At least I now know how to set up my team to maximise my chances.

Well, 1/3, 1/2 and 1/2 all in one was utter hell and took me like 50 tries, but got it:

->Open Spoiler<-

Here is a "safe" version, which was 2/3 and 1/2:

->Open Spoiler<-

And the "safe" version in off-element:

->Open Spoiler<-

And finally, here is the new scores done with the "safe" version in off-element and the risky version against Water:

->Open Spoiler<-

That's #20 in Best right now and #15 Total. But, I'm not the only person running today, so I expect to drop out of top30.

->Open Spoiler<-

Oof effort

Good work though, I assume?..
