[Graces f] Richard 1 - Asbel solo (2023 Remix)

You'd think Richard would think twice about fighting Asbel given the thrashing Cedric got, but oh well.
↞ Rules ↠
- Asbel only
- No damage (damage from perfect evades is OK)
- No Eleth Burst abuse
- No Food
- No arte skips

Ooh boy is that another punching bag I see?
I start off with Gale Maw to break the nova barrier and sideswap, followed up with Plasma Shock altered into Sparrow Seal for the stun. After that my main goal is to rack up hits so I can trigger the first MA and Wolfwind Fang into Heaven's Wrath is a great way to accomplish this in this scenario, granted I lead with Stagger Strike for the launch. I also snuck in a quick 1CC and Nimble Fang because I noticed I had the CC for it, but the combo works even without this should I get unlucky with CC reduction procs on my artes, just as long as I have enough for Concussive Bolt after Stampede Strike.
Richard is really floaty so this seemed like a good opportunity to show that, yes, the wisp can actually be more than a nuisance. As you can see my Void Sword combined with the wisp hits send him pretty high up, and the jank combo breaks from wisp hits are mitigated if they happen in the air since Richard can't act until landing. In other words, if I can keep him up there while I'm waiting out the stun and piling on damage, I won't have to deal with the wisp much at all until triggering Divine Conqueror.
I use a right-1CC arte to align myself with him and wait for him to come back down so Nimble Fang can keep him juggled as well.
Diabolic Rage after Divine Conqueror is based as always and leads into the last stun setup, ending with a pretty standard Icedragon Flurry chain into Abyssal Seal x2 before finishing things off with Expunging Sword.
The run will likely slow down quite a bit here because the next couple of bosses aren't exactly my favorites lol, but I hopefully won't take too long with them.

Very nice use of the wisp, though not just here but the whole run so far, that Rekkuujin hitting and lifting Richard that high really caught my attention! Really liked the catch that followed after as well

[@ViktorForslund]

Really glad the super jank properties of Rekkuujin got a chance to shine in this video, I'm not sure why a wide AoE arte like that also has weird launching properties but I ain't complaining lol
And I'm glad you've enjoyed the wisp usage so far, hopefully I can keep exploiting, err, I mean, utilize it in the future!

Undub? Man theses things are hard to find.
