Nutella Fu

'Sup doods.

We all know that fu's usually get the short end of the stick in polite conversations due to the fact that they hate teamwork, what with them ruining proration and whatnot with their bread-and-butter spam combos.

And if you don't know, proration is the balance of physical and magical skills, along with auto attacks. In essence, spamming is bad for your health and is contagious to the party, you butter-fingered sicko. Conversely, mixing the combo with magic and physical leads to higher party damage outputs overall.
In any event, they have long since fallen out of favor, and are the butt of today's meta.

Therefore, I propose a variant of this build: Bread and Nutella fu. (A.k.a. A prorating Sword Fu)

[Physical : Magical]

Bread and Nutella: 1~2 mp, [3:2]

Trigger Slash > Tempest (Save) > Shell Break (Cons) > Triple Kick (Smite) > Impact (Cons)
​

Speedy Demon: 1~2 mp, [3:2]

Trigger Slash > Tempest (Save) > Impact (Swift) > Triple Kick (Smite) > Shell Break (Cons)
​

Jar of Nutella: 1 mp, [2:1]

Astute > War Cry (Save) > Triple Kick (Smite) > Impact (Cons)
​

Hyperactive Metabolism: 1 mp, [3:1]

Smash / Holy Fist > Impact (Save) > Shell Break (Swift) > Trigger Slash (Cons)
​

More Nutella: 2~4 mp, [3:1]

Heavy Smash > Impact (Save) > Triple Kick (Smite) > Shell Break (Cons)

-or-​

Impact > Heavy Smash (Smite) > Holy Fist (Cons)​

Note: Sub-variants of combos may switch Tempest with Sneak Attack, for the sake of keeping aggro off of yourself. Another sub-variant is to replace Triple Kick with Shell Break, and Shell Break with War Cry, for those high Def bosses.

Comments:
Bread and Nutella is your, well, "bread and butter" combo, which boasts a quick combo time, of roughly 4.5 second. Having the essential skills of fu, Shell Break (for Mp Regen) and Triple Kicks (for Dmg), this combo is further supported with a swifted Tempest (courtesy of Trigger Slash's secondary effect) for an overall smoother combo.
Jar of Nutella is the initial combo, sporting War Cry, which is excellent party and solo support, and also ends with the skill Impact, to set up for your Bread and Nutella.
Hyperactive Metabolism is the go to for quick Mp regen, and also aids as interrupt. Being the fastest combo available, it's ready to be used for in-battle Mp charging. Even if Shell Break fails, the ampr received from Trigger Slash will quickly give you another shot at Shell Break.

Speedy Demon is even faster than Bread and Nutella, clocking in at about 4 seconds. The downside is that you would need to alternate between this combo and Jar of Nutella to maintain good mp efficiency, and you would only Shell Break every other combo.

Proof of Concept

 

This makes me hungry. 9/10

 

Don't forget the 'Stuck in Nutella' (stunlock) combo for any bosses that can be safely flinched/stunned:

Smash -> Astute (con) -> Shell Break (save) -> Sonic Wave (con) -> Triple Kick (smite) -> Holy Fist (con) -> ENDLESS REPEAT

A physical proration ruiner (tho mages will still love you), but at least the boss will stay in place and won't fight back!
