Say Sorry

Say Sorry is one of 's physical s in Xenoblade Chronicles. It deals an extra +100% for each debuff the target has, but then erases all of them. The four statues (,, , and ) also apply and are also removed.

Overview
Say Sorry is a fairly strong art. Its cooldown limits it somewhat outside s, but it is not difficult for Riki to apply enough debuffs in quick succession to get a +400% bonus or more. The challenge is balancing the potential damage with keeping the debuffs for actually being debuffs, especially if those debuffs are strong. For example, using Lurgy but erasing it immediately wastes much of Lurgy's potential, compared to waiting for the debuff to almost expire and then using Say Sorry. Riki also needs to be careful he's not clearing debuffs that his friends worked hard to apply, such as ones that require a two-art combo to trigger, unless they too are near expiry. This makes the art pretty risky to let AI Riki have command of, as he only cares about number of debuffs and not the circumstances or durations.
