I'm sure some of you out there love a certain Photon Art that's rarely used by others and feel they are too underrated.

For my case, I believe the knuckle PA Bogga Zubba is much too overlooked. If you get past its relatively slow wind-up time, it can be your mini-boss killer. First of all, it hits 2 targets four times totalling up to 8 hits (correct me if I'm wrong) to mini-boss enemies like kamatozes, grass assasins, polavohras, etc. It also knocks them down if you hit it right, preventing them from performing attacks that knock you down like stomps and crushes.

To polavohras in SW S2 I can hit for about 700-750 per hit with out elemental bonus which means it will equal about 5600-6000 with one punch. Remember this is without any elemental advantages.

Another thing I've noticed is that the PA ignores improved defense in certain body parts of bosses like de ragan. I can deal the same amount of damage I do to its neck and head to its tail or body which have improved defense against physical attacks.

Anyone have any other underrated PA's to share?

Something tells me that if I mention a PA that's underrated, it won't be underrated anymore.

Shunbu most people I think hate it its not meant to be a damage dealer but a quick strike counter attack. I think it fits perfect with AT.

Asheth beat me to the point about shunbu XD

I'd have to say in the wake of spinning strike and godly damage, most people have forgotten about good ol' Rising Strike. hey, nice, quick damage with a knockback...I'm not complaining >.>

Shunbu is neat. It was always my number two to Buten. It will always be number two to Buten.

Bogga Zubba would be nice ONLINE, if it weren't for the network delay which results in hitting the first enemy 4-5 times and nothing else because the first enemy hasn't been launched out of the way yet. But Offline, it's pretty hot.

I wouldn't use Bogga Zubba for regular enemies like Vahras and Badiras because you jsut end up missing some and wasting hits most of the time. I pretty much only use it for mini-boss types who have two large targets and tend to be stationary most of the time. It also works great for de ragan and de ragnus. It's one of those situational PA's that end up sucking in one situation but does wonders in another.
