Tales of Arise - Relentless Charger [Hard] - Shionne Solo

Finally started the demo 3 days ago and the first thing I do is this boar and nothing else =0b. The Pascal vibes are strong with this one, not only cause I'm doing a Pascal solo right now. Already shown a bit in the Shionne/Pascal comparison video, but after playing there are other details that give the impression of Pascal being a base for Shionne; from obvious animations, to minor aspects like dodging to avoid resetting her gun(vulnerable in this moment)... at least, its what I convinced myself of. Most likely gonna be my main =03.
About this boss, its your basic boar, only you can't really stagger it. Playing around boss attacks is something I'm familiar with, so the style to play it is right up my alley.
For this take, I particularly focus on countering its charge, evident when the boar's left front leg makes the charging motion 3 times. After I perfect counter and it passes me, I have a bit of time before it can recover to unload a few more artes(usually light bomb ext, lightning bomb ext, displode, aqua impact) onto it. If the counter stops it in place, then I use 1 less arte in preparation it will charge again very soon. If it stops a 2nd time in a row, it will usually recover even faster, so then I just throw 1 bomb, jump, aqua impact. Rinse and repeat. Still a whole lot of room for improvement. Learning its close-ranged attacks could have further improved the quality of the fight, but I opted to keep it simple.
I really like the boss system so far. Makes me have to respect what the boss can do, while both me and the boss can still be aggressive. Unfortunately, I couldn't maximize my aggression, due to the HP of the boss and the length of the battle; else I would further minimize my idle time and/or do more riskier plays, like attacking in-between his OVL double charge attack(which can be done).
Have zero serious complaints about the system so far. I do wish the artes had a 2nd voiced line like the last couple of entries in the series; hearing "Displode! Aquaeous Impact!" got a bit repetitive, but that's minor stuff that will probably be diluted with stuff like the Artes Ball, and its possible that the main game does have it, and its just the demo that does this.
Now I can actually try to finish the demo, lol.

This is amazing! Your skills are so impressive 🤩 I plan on maining her (and Rinwell) too, this video has gotten me even more excited for the full game!

This is the best Shionne hard vid on RUclips rn but I kinda wish it was with teammates so she can also have her role as healer shine through.
But gr8 stuff regardless ty for combo ideas

[@frubam]

Wow, tend to forget she is a healer. I haven't really focused on that aspect, and, in hindsight, that's why my party ends up dying so much(obvious, but I missed it). This is something I'mma have to work on, if I'm going to play as her more often than the others. Appreciate the insight =03.

[@salem5167]

@@frubam yeah, she's technically the main healer of the games party! Although Dohalim can backup heal and kisara has emergency heals, I imagine shionnes main role will be weaving in heals between her bombs and gun artes, or maybe casts and movement artes (edit: and bombs! I think they're integral because they're her perk and perks are fucking coooool I love how it brings something more independent to each character, moves like annihilation seem to have an interesting purpose imo!)
She's also a big favorite of mine who I plan to use most as well!!! Please upload more vids if you feel inclined! You gave me great opinions on a preferable damage loadout.
