However, there's a definitely possibility that I counted wrong, because it really is hard to count damage. I recorded a vid of me attacking at Hilla at 90fps, isolated 10 seconds, slowed that down, and went frame by frame, counting only top hits of Mille Aiguilles (because of Carte Noire). Going over it a second time, I counted ~60 hits.
Chaos Bloody Queen is possibly much better suited for testing this, but my Phantom currently can't access it. If you have less than ~17% Ignore DEF, then it should be clear which hits are Mille and which hits are Carte Noire, as the Guard Break hyper will allow Mille to do more than 1 damage, and the Carte Noire hits would strictly be 1s. Plus, she's generally stationary, and is really just a big blob of HP.
I tested at Lyka earlier, my Phantom hasn't even done the Root Abyss prequests I don't think :X I'll check the recording again now.
Just counting the top hits of Mille Aiguilles (not sure if this is accurate for me though, sometimes Carte Noire stacks 2+ lines of damage because I lag a little), but I got this:
1.533 seconds from first > 10th top hit of MA w/ no speed buffs
1.367 seconds from first > 10th top hit of MA w/ booster, green pot, speed infusion
Some of the hits weren't critical either, which made it even more difficult to count, so I'm not 100% sure, but it does look like the actual attacks are increased in speed as well as the animation.
I'll record at Hilla tomorrow morning/afternoon, don't have time to do any more investigating tonight. It'd be easier to check with as many speed buffs as possible so I'll log on a Battle Mage for Yellow Aura and have SI/AYA/potion and possibly a Zero as well if I can find one.
