Arts/Equipment Inheritance Interaction/Mechanic Document

A google doc that I made containing various interactions and mechanics relating to Arts Inheritance. The document will be updated as I feel is needed as new interactions are found or tested: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cefPgG66F_RBYxEqXYnyuDA_Qmy7xCJ1bOQG3T1_Uy4/edit?usp=sharing

This document also contains a list of notable or strong interactions that are currently known in Arts Inheritance. Additionally, each character has a short section detailing their general strengths and uses.

This document assumes that you have a basic understanding of Arts Inheritance concepts, so please refer to the Time Attack Glitch document created by XenoPlayed if you are unfamiliar: https://www.speedrun.com/xcde/guide/bk9d2

Movement Skips, Clips, and Glitches Hub

This guide contains links to various resources for skips, movement, clips (on pre-patched versions), and how to perform certain glitches. If more resources are made that belong here, let me know and I'll add them. This will be broken down by categories for which they are useful

Sections are broken down by category to hopefully make it easier to find what you are looking for.

Time Attack glitch doc for glitched IL's, NG+, and such

Here is a Google Doc I threw together in an attempt to cover all the "mechanics" of the Time Attack glitch, party swap and Art Inheritance and duplication:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a2nB9V-1Sg1JksTR5B2p2sHv0JtI-GaV0dAtrMRTCSQ/edit?usp=drivesdk

This doc will be edited with new details day after day, and it's an anyone-can-edit Doc, so if there's something I wrote that's wrong or badly worded, if you want to add videos or resources and info in general, et cætera... Feel free to do so! The more info the better ^_^

And here is a table to know which Arts have the same animation Index (big thanks to Cross from the Discord for having done most of the work for this table btw ^^) :
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ryDmoF1dK10OVnhg0A2EOEVYrcN3muCGIrBPZuGsTUs/edit?usp=drivesdk

Basically, with this you'll be able to know which Arts take the animation of which Arts for X character when inherited.

Hopefully those two things will help those who want to explore the Time Attack glitch. ^^'

Time Attack Guide Playlist

This playlist contains video guides I've made for TA strategies and tech relating to TAs. Each video has links to other useful resources in the description. There's also a link to a pastebin containing a written version of the guide in the description of each video.

I plan to cover all current strategies for Free and Free (glitchless) categories. I'll also only be covering the optimal strategies in these guides. Any outdated guides will be labeled as such in the video title. Any minor notes or amendments will be in the description of the guide it pertains to.

XB:DE NG+ 100% Speedrun route

A route for the absolute insane. Run assumes you have basic knowledge of NG+ any% and uses Arts Inheritance (See Xenoplayed's document on AI)

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12qVZxHcRd8nvjWGY0X6lU3djhKbUvcDfEx1hZ2EwxzY/edit?usp=sharing

XB:DE NG+ Arts Inheritance Route

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RGmP9BGmw4qRZE1LTUGgzxUKGgc_e3A3ZiD9xGXjioU/edit?usp=sharing

The attached google docs is the route for Arts Inheritance NG+. Arts Inheritance is a separate category from standard NG+ because Sharla spamming Buster is pretty overpowered. It is highly recommended to back up your master save or make a new profile/save for arts inheritance, as there are many side effects that are irrecoverable, such as unable to level up any monado arts outside of Buster and Enchant.

XBDE: NG+ Any% [Casual] Route (No Arts Inheritance)

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MvhyeylT5q8YZqGrNDKf5NsT_VUKMdbDKVTJZyfq52Y/edit?usp=sharing

This is the route for No Arts Inheritance Casual. To save on text document space, I cut out the skill and equipment setup, focusing on the fights themselves since they are the biggest deviation compared to other categories.

With strats, a 2:54 is in the realm of possibility with this route so uh good luck.

XBDE: NG+ any% route (No arts inheritance)

XC:DE Glitched NG+ route 2.0

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gomHQQNSrQoQKDBeIFhjiq0RW7UxoPV5BI8I9qSpsbA/edit?usp=sharing

The attached document is the updated route for Glitched NG+ (formerly Arts Inheritance). This category makes use of the Arts Inheritance and Equipment Inheritance glitches. It is highly recommended to back up your master save or make a new profile/save for arts inheritance, as there are many side effects that are irrecoverable.

This route makes use of rare arts such as Cannon Drones, Mind Blast, and Mag Storm. Mag Storm specifically can be very difficult to obtain, so if you don't have it then you can also refer to Orpheolus's guide for a route which does not have these requirements.

Xenoblade DE: NG any% [Casual] [1.1.2] Route (Updated)

The following is the current NG any% Casual 1.1.2 route. The current route was made by ItssTyler.
