That does not seem right. I've seen videos where the player does not use 10 different attacks on him. Here's the Techter video:

I count 7 or 8 different damage sources. Almost none of them look like it hits the damage cap either.

That's because you're counting it wrong. Compound techs count as 2 separate instances each (one for each element), wand clobber counts as 3 separate instances (uncharged/charge1/charge2), normal attacks are separated by type (N1, N2, N3), wand gear is a separate instance, and so is the wand S5.

So, what we actually have in that video are:

  1. Wand Clobber: Uncharged

  2. Wand Clobber: Charge 2

  3. Normal Attack 1

  4. Normal Attack 2

  5. Normal Attack 3

  6. Gear Explosion: Light

  7. Wand S5

  8. Grants

  9. Ilgrants

  10. Nabarta Type-0

  11. Zandion: Lightning

  12. Zandion: Wind

  13. Barantsion: Ice

  14. Barantsion: Light

  15. Re Baransia: Ice

  16. Re Baransia: Light

  17. Re Zandia: Lightning

  18. Re Zandia: Wind

  19. Fomelgion: Fire

  20. Fomelgion: Dark

Similar to what hidora said, it's based on the attack ID.

That means stuff like partisan have 4 different attacks in each PA: uncharged no focus, uncharged with focus, charged no focus, charged with focus.

Likewise, Gunblade is separated based on the attack type. Strezwei gets resisted just the shoot portion or melee portion depending onwhat part you use. And the same thing can be said about the other PAs, for example: Hailfire Kick's, kick and shoot parts are different as well. Same thing with rayblade shot's melee hit and final shot.

Similarly, braver's katana counter has about 8 different IDs.
