Shadow Stepper Title

[Knightmage Bael]

Requires you to evade attacks. Side stepping is easy, but I believe you need to side step after the enemy is already engaging an attack on you so you mitigate the damage to only 1 point. The problem I'm having is that the enemy attack animations happen too suddenly and too quickly. Anticipating it is equally difficult, and I've been unable to effectively actually employ this technique (and still have it be useful).

Anyone got any tips?

I'm trying to get the Combo Artist Title for Eleanor. Velvet's count goes up no problem, but Eleanor's is stuck at 3 somehow ... are there other requirements? Like it's actually 50+ for Eleanor? It's not unlocked, so I can't see the description for her's.

Yeah I dunno. I'm just looking for it with Velvet and I can't seem to trigger it. I have to land a killing blow with 40+. Not just get a "Max combo count".

Normally with thsoe types of titles. you have to have the character you want it on to get the killing blow. Its best to use it with a mystic art at the end.

Using a break soul also helps to do considerably more damage as well, but you still have to time it better. Sometimes the combo counter actually runs out before the mystic arte finishes, however, as the creature doesn't actually die even if they lose more health than they have just because the attack animation needs to finish.

Hm, I'll keep trying then. Here's some tips: Triggering a weakness chain (so you can combo whatever you want, since using the same arte to often will have the enemy break out of combo) and unleashing her MA with the right timing usually does the job for me. Laphicet keeps stealing it though. You might want to change the party (and strategy) to a close combat setup. You should be able to toggle strategy to "focus on same/different enemy" too depending on how high you get the combo counter with Velvet alone. Also Break Soul against crustacean enemies has a pretty high hit-count and leaves them open. Crustaceans also tend to have higher defence, so Velvet's martial artes do somewhat less damage. Hope this helps. Advice regarding Eleanor would be appreciated. I think this is a very useful title.

For anybody still looking for an efficient way to earn Shadow Stepper ranks with Velvet: When you go through the Dimensional Rift to the first level of the Heavenly Steppes there's a large cyclops called Solveiger you can use to rack up quick-steps. I recommend you go here rather than a low level area so the enemies don't die in one hit. Solveiger does an attack where he swings his club down at you multiple times, with the right timing you can score 5-6 points quick-stepping toward him the moment his club comes down on you. It's just like parrying in 3rd Strike, or Flash Guard in Ys. Also, when this enemy is down to 50% hp or less he does an attack where he sits down and fires a large laser beam straight out of his eye for a good 3 seconds. You can quick-step side to side or straight toward him through the beam and get another 5+ points every time that attack comes out. I found I was able to get Velvet's Rank 2 in about 20 minutes fighting these guys. Just set every party member to Defense Only so they heal you and don't kill the cyclops.
