Lariat (Nene)

Lariat is one of 's physical s in Xenoblade Chronicles: Future Connected, and a semi-clone of 's art of the same name. It is a wide swing that damages all enemies in front, providing talent gauge for every hit.

Overview
Unlike all Nene's other arts (and Kino's, for that matter), her Lariat is not a one-to-one clone of the original version - instead of a single hit for +25% talent gauge, it's 3 hits of +10% each, and the damage output is tweaked to match (it does slightly more at low levels and slightly less at higher levels). This essentially removes its primary advantage over Feather Swing, her other "extra talent gauge" art, as being a single hit means the move isn't interrupted if blocked. It still retains the shorter cooldown, higher total damage, and longer but narrower range. On the whole, it's still overkill to have both Feather Swing and Lariat equipped at once, but the changes mean the differences between the two are less pronounced.
