Transformation during boss

I was watching this kaiser doing a cra queen solo and i've noticed that he only transforms when she is about to dr, and exits transformation when its done. Why is that? Don't kaisers get atk speed and +1 line during transformation? so why does he only use it during dr? It's not a gauge problem since he has no problem filling it quickly.

[quote=Mobbo]What cris1000 said. You actually attack faster in chibi-mode

While I'm here does anyone know off hand what the breaking point is for doing more damage in chibi-mode than final transformation? I'm sure you don't need to cap on Gigas - but is it around 30m per line? I actually haven't calculated it.[/quote]

Not off hand, but I wanted to know as well.

they use the transformation to ignore dr. You attack faster in non xform and when you're capping or near capping, naturally attacking faster means doing more damage.
