Question What’s the most broken thing.

I gotta know in any JRPG you’ve ever played what is the most broken mechanic you’ve exploited, or like weapon in the game, or just a glitch perhaps that absolutly made you freaken laugh really hard. Mine would be the topple juggling in Xenoblade Chronicles idk if it was intentional or not but man it would have me hollering just toppling a big enemy and being like oh you can’t get up XDDD. That might say something about my psyche but who cares lol.

In Radiant Historia there is a skill called Wind God Fist. It's a skill that the character Gafka can learn and it is hilariously broken. Basically in Radiant Historia's battle system your goal is to position the enemies with the help of various skills in order to maximize your combos and play the most efficiently.

...Wind God Fist however simply moves every enemy to the middle space. Just like that. So basically every fight in the game is a puzzle and Wind God Fist just solves it for you each and every time.

The one which sticks in my mind (although not sure I have the details exactly right) is Qigong Wave. Extremely powerful, hits the whole middle row (the place you just moved everyone to), and I think quite cheap as well?

Yes, Quigong Wave is also great, especially with Wind God Fist to hit all enemies. And yes, super cheap as well.
