Hikari Nuking Secret Boss for 800K Damage in 1 Turn | Octopath Traveler 2

For those who insisted that the ability wasn't good because there was "no way it could do that much damage against the secret boss because of his defense", here you go! I mostly just wanted to see all the numbers though, as nothing else could survive it, and it has the added benefit of not destroying your entire SP pool.

Considering a few people asked, I wanted to clarify that you do not need to have armsmaster on Hikari to make it work. As long as you can hit the necessary physical attack, any subclass that allows him to hold the Giant’s Club will have the same results, so feel free to use armsmaster on someone else! It was just a coincidence that I was using it, as this is a save state I was running tests on, and he just already happened to be using it.

For those who do not already know, this ability can be learned by going to the Sacred Flame HQ, going left as soon as you enter, beating up the guard blocking the doorway, then fighting the guard inside of that room. When compared to Lionheart's Axe, Lionheart's Axe actually has a higher base damage, so initially it is the better skill, as you will still hit harder. Eventually though, since Lionheart's Axe is capped at two 99,999 hits, while Limb from Limb is capped at 4, once Hikari becomes strong enough, those hits start going over 200k, all the way up to 400k at peak DPS levels. Once you starting hitting for over 200k on Limb from Limb, it then becomes the better ability since you can hit four times instead of two.
