Pile Drive and Wicked Wheel were stagger meter killers, Deadly Embrace I used for that midway stagger point to pull them to the ground and then I'd charge the Odin skills with Dancing Steel while they were down. A level 5 Zanetsuken, Gigaflare, Judgment Bolt was an easy 100k damage when they were fully staggered.

Those are rookie numbers, kid. jk

But for real, I've gotten over 250k on an 'ideal' stagger sequence. Diamond Dust, Will O The Wykes, Zankutzen, Lightning Rod, Gigaflare, Dancing Steel, second Zankutzen.

Just as an aside, it's pretty easy to effectively guarantee a level 5 Zankutzen with just one Dancing Steel. Place a Lightning Rod right before and it counts those hits too.

Diamond Dust INSTANTLY puts them at the 1.5 damage multiplier so it's smart to use it at the very beginning of the fight to have it again when it's staggering time.
