Items required for this Combo are: Etheric Phantom - Thracian and High-Grade Blade of the Other: Powerslash.

This was recorded in 2.5M High-Risk Difficulty run (These Attacks deal %HP damage so extra toughness is irrelevant).

This trick work for most wandering Boss, work well especially against those who tend to trigger Cacophony Shield early (Haytor, Covenant Guardian, Most Doppelgengers, etc.) or any Boss Enemy in Mist Area -- even if 75% chance to trigger Totalize missed, enemy would still be left with very low HP.

Keep in mind that against certain Doppelgenger (Isolde and Jane), it is safer to wait until they finished their partially I-framed move they usually used when first entering Miasma/Cacophony Shield, otherwise they might dodge half (if not all) of Thracian's attack.

While many suggest to use Thracian against the Hound, personally I find it more time efficient to use it against Boss that would "take too long" to eliminate (Attribute-resistance, Unfavorable Matchup or simply just being annoying) -- Hound can be easily avoided by just outrunning it (IF you have Agent with fast movement) while its shield slowly decayed, or drag it into another fight and let the collateral damage from the battle chip away its shield (it may sound insane, but for team with good amount of I-Frame it's surprisingly chill) -- or do both mentioned method.

Probably the hardest 50k run I've had in a while, took me a lot of attempts to figures out the best combo that net the most damage, then find the proper routing to achieve such goal.

Earlier I hard stuck around 49.6k (it was very inconsistent btw) and plan to wait for M2W2 Lucia to get my revenge, but the lion never give up, and so do I.

[ Ideal Banyue/Norma Combo against 12s Stun duration enemy, that I've came up with so far ]

● Before Stun (if able): Earth Shaker, Earth Shaker+Tremor OR Path+Roar (At ~99 Daze) > Teammate's heavy attack (ideally it should trigger Chain Sequence at the same time as Banyue EX's Perfect Cancel timing)

● During Stun: Banyue's Chain Attack > Path+Roar > Norma/Lucia's Special Attack (NOT EX-Special) > Banyue's Chain Attack > Path+Roar > Taunt Cancel into Crushing Peak+Toppling Mountain > Ultimate > Path+Roar > Norma hold BA > Banyue's Chain Attack

Alternately, if it's the final Stun, or Stunning enemy in time is not your concern.

● During Stun: Banyue's Chain Attack > Earth Shaker+Tremor > Lucia's EX (optional) > Norma's Ultimate > Banyue's Chain Attack > Path+Roar > Taunt Cancel into Crushing Peak+Toppling Mountain > Ultimate > Path+Roar > Norma hold BA > **Banyue's Chain Attack

**Since we used Earth Shaker+Tremor, enemy is likely to exit stun stated before 3rd Chain Attack fully landed, but Norma's Ult is stronger than Banyue's Chain Attack so it is not a bad trade (assuming both are equally and properly built)

Combo is flexible, orders can be changed depend on resources demand (mainly Decibels), feel free to ask me anything! :D

I know this is not an ideal team for them, ideally it should be Miyabi/NangongYu,/Yuzuha or full AOD.

but since I have none of those options (I didn't invest much into Anomaly), and this team somehow perform better than Aria + Lycaon (score peak around 31k), I'd say with optimal rotation and suitable matchup/environment, this team is capable more than just "playable".
