And you say we can't spare the attacks to eject Togekiss, but you need equal amount of actions to knock out Togekiss the old fashioned way unless you're using the laser. And using your particular plan weakens the offense that we could do on Mio for an overkill on a relatively unimportant target, the battlebot. Your plan would cripple our effective offense by wasting most of the damage as overkill on the bot. My plan not only increases the damage on the bosses, making it easier to gang up on it with other attacks, but also removes the Togekiss threat for enough time to deal with things (while also making life tough on Moera).

I'm fairly certain (which is to say I'm completely certain), that if we were to, say, have Lexhur center his laser on the Battlebot and then use Devil's Drift (for increased damage because she'd be resisting the ejection) on Miyo, it'd be more damage on her than if we ejected Togekiss and centered the Laser on her. The difference probably wouldn't be very big, but noticeable enough.

Unless you want to use Devil's Drift and center the Laser on Miyo, but that's not what you're proposing, is it?

Also, since ejected enemies can't be replaced, I'm wondering if any area attacks that would hit those spots simply skip over to the next one. The space is still there, after all. It's just not being used and can't be filled.

Hey AB, if we use an AoE attack on a spot that was occupied by an enemy that was ejected from battle, is the attack wasted or does it simply skip over to the next enemy?
