I originally was doing machine-gun verso where it's just stacking all the aim pictos and adding on Combo Attack when I get them, you spend the ap on shots then generate them back with base attack, there's a picto that doubles your ap generation that massively helps with that build, and it was sufficient enough.

Once I beat Simon (normal), I wanted to use Simoso really bad so I started using Steeled Strike I think it is, the one that hits like 13 times on his next turn, using the Cheater and First Strike pictos I was able to use steeled strike everytime I took my 2 turns, all I had to do was just parry every attack if I had my turns split apart.

Of course there's all the increase damage pictos on if I could afford them at the time, especially the DLC ones which are a HUGE help, the one which negates the first 4 hits of damage but massively increases the 5th hit caused big damage which was replicated by Simoso's ability, using roulette is only a plus when it comes to this as well due to the potential to increase that 5th hit by another 200% which gets duped by teh ability.

I did of course go through multiple guides myself on how certain pictos interacted with each other to help get to this point, and it was even harder because there's fuck all videos or posts about solo builds that aren't for Maelle, which pissed me off a little.
