Tales of Arise: Gigant Boss 6 (Hard) NIND - 1st Playthrough
I like to try NIND (No Items No Death) for 1st playthroughs of Tales. Not always viable, sometimes takes over an hour or hours but it helps me learn and improve and I'd like to see how far I can with it. I got the Ultimate Digital Edition and made use of the DLC costumes (which provide titles, which in turn provide skill boards) and extra SP. I did not make use of any of the extra levels, gald, stat boosters or discounts. Since story boss 7 I've decided for most single enemy bosses I'm going only fight with Law while Shionne heals since it's too difficult to see what the boss is doing to react to it with all the spells flying around, and it's too frustrating keeping everyone else alive since they don't safely space themselves from bosses and don't prioritize survival over getting off artes. The AI is better than previous games but still not good enough and they kind of nerfed the strategy options.
