Honestly read that in Lana/Sena’s Ouroboros Form voices.

Yes. I am planning to take an explainer video on the shackle ring this weekend or something since it has become important to some different strats specifically in the main game speedrun. Either that or a document or something. The basic idea is that it uses sequences of six arts, with arts getting stronger as they go from one to six in the sequence.

@@aakashbasu3219 I'd be really glad if you did that video, I kinda got the idea behind shackle ring but at the same time I couldn't fully grasp the possibilities so maybe a more specific explanation and application examples might help XD

@@Kvny_ yeah I kind of forgot to do this lol. Im a bit busy for the next little while but will come back to it. the way i like to think of it is that the shackle ring (common variant, which ends up being the best for reasons i'll explain in a second) produces a "queue" of six arts the queue is cleared if 1) three seconds have passed without using an art or 2) if you use more than 6 arts (for the common variant) within this queue, each successive art becomes more and more powerful (i.e. increased damage, AOE, buff duration, debuff duration/chance, reaction chance), up till the sixth art for example if you have an ogre with the following arts: standard: giant swing, cannonball, hammerhead master: flashback, shield bash, soaring tempest and you use the arts in the order giant swing>cannonball>hammerhead>flashback>shield bash>soaring tempest since flashback is the fourth art it will have the 40% modifier applied to art damage, combo duration, and reaction success (the important one) and since soaring tempest is sixth it will have the 80% modifier applied to art damage, reaction success, combo duration (important) etc

@@aakashbasu3219 Interesting...So theoretically you could make good use of Taion's Ouroboros/Segiri's debuffs if you set up right, I know it's not optimal but guess I'll give it a try sometime. Anyway, thanks for the explanation o/

@@aakashbasu3219 wait, so just to be clear, it has to be 6 *different* arts? or is it just a chain of ANY arts? because if so that could be useful for anything abusing frenzied combo crit resets.

System>options>change ouroboros control type

Randomtechguy one hundred forty two thousand eight hundred fifty seven when he meets deterministictechguy two hundred eighty five thousand seven hundred and fourteen:

The def decrease is the important bit here. This can be accomplished without the origin blade nonsense using seraph, and probably incursor or martial artist.

It's an option in the gameplay menu

just learned about this today too from videos. there's an option in system>options to change your ouroboros control type

O ok cool thank you guys appreciate it

Origin blade lowers defenses (among other things), launch increases damage taken, stack a bunch of stances/buffs to increase damage (max voltage, power charge, attack up etc), use an accessory that applies stacking buffs to up to 6 different arts used in succession, and then use Troubador’s talent art to recharge all arts to use Raging force, which buffs its own damage based on how many arts are off cooldown, along with getting the max bonus of 6 from the aforementioned accessory

@@yoshifan2334 oh so that’s how raging storm works, I thought I was the more arts you used the stronger it got.

@@yoshifan2334 Jesus Christ! Thanks for the explanation!
