My current strategy.

I'm planning out a speed run of .hack//G.U. Vol.2//Reminisce, and a minor part of it involved careful study of each of the 2nd form avatar battles. I'm still looking for improvements I could make that wouldn't have to do with pure luck (i.e. if it doesn't use this attack you gain a few seconds...), so comment if you know something. I left in the drain cutscene at the end of battle just because I wanted to.

Helen may be rather simple to beat with some bad hit detection to boot (bad for it mostly, though my Data Drain sometimes passes right through it...), but what can really slow this battle down is its Kobold Bullet/Lisp Tackle combo. It's hard to go on offense against it, though it's so difficult to keep attacking through it you may just as well dash out of the way and defend yourself. I always attack on the off-chance Lisp Tackle doesn't strike immediately, so I can do damage and get rid of the bullets. Lisp Tackle will hit, but better the tackle than the bullets.

Although this is my fastest time to date against Helen, it is possible to employ a 6-hit scythe combo against it (and it's the only time in Reminisce you get to use it). Strike twice, let the combo reset, then launch the full combo. The fifth hit only works because Helen's so huge to begin with; against anyone else, not only does the fifth hit miss, but the targeting for the sixth hit is off a little. Enemies like Innis may never see the Chakram from a six-hit attack.
