Lurgy (ドクドクだも) is one of Riki's ether Battle Arts in Xenoblade Chronicles. It involves him spewing poison in a cone, applying a highly damaging debuff to all enemies in front.

Overview

If Lurgy is allowed to run for its duration, it deals 6.00x worth of damage for only 0.40x worth of aggro (without upgrades), which is very good indeed. The fact that it also affects multiple enemies makes the total damage even higher. Combined, Lurgy is an excellent art to start battles with, and there is little reason to not simply use it when it becomes available. However, if a Chain Attack allows the move to be used while the poison is still active, some caution is necessary to not overwrite the old poison damage with the new one if the former rolled well.
