Probably the most anticipated video for some people at least. For me, it was fun editing this. For those that are playing NieR/planning to play NieR without spoilers, I would avoid having the audio on for this video.

Duke... overall he wasn't as hard as I thought. While threatening with his status effects, Estelle has both counters. Recover will cast fast enough to counteract Skill Seal, while Cure Guard can stall out Artes Seal. Chances of both happening is really rare, which in turn frees up the accessory spot for Final Symbol to make TP infinite instead of the standard Khrona Symbol. Big Bang is seriously not an issue; Pikohan stun will out stall any OVL he's in. To combo him really isn't hard; its just a bit of timing involved to knock him out of his aerial recover. While he leaves little opening for melee counter attacks, he does have one; Duke has a serious opening after a Havoc Heaven, so use that opportunity to strike back, especially with Guard Artes equipped.

This run overall was quite enjoyable to say the least. Honestly, I didn't think I would have that much fun playing as Estelle (yes, its more fun than ASSBULL). I'll admit I did have complaints on Estelle, but this run dispelled 90% of them. Other than the lack of strike artes and speed, Estelle has quite the potential as a powerhouse.
