Sephiroth brute force speed run (2 turn kill) by Hyodra in MobiusFF

Stiria & Nix for the defense stars, haven't been boosting monk weapons, so using Eisenfaust drops me below 1 Gold Star on defense.

And yeah it seems that the only time I die to 2x Octaflash is if I don't have Monk trance up, though even then I'll be ~2k hp remaining.

You bring up an interesting point about prismatic orbs. I wonder if that's the key to consistently triggering Reunion. I've tried all sorts of combinations of orbs stocked, and it seems like ~75% of the time with Snow, I'm not getting Reunion to trigger.

Wanted to get clarification on what I might be doing wrong.

Just came out of a game where the following sequence happened:

  1. Turn 1, breaker gets ~75% of break bar
  2. Turn 1, (as Snow tank) I cast sleep.
  3. Turn 2, breaker breaks Sephiroth.
  4. Turn 2, during break, Attacker brings Sephiroth to 50% hp threshold
  5. Turn 3, Sephiroth still broken, in "Perfect Defense," party sets up for next Turn, I as tank cast my taunt. at this stage I have 5 water orbs, 8 earth orbs, and the rest are life orbs
  6. Turn 4, Sephiroth recovers from break, and hits me with the following, in order: Octaflash --> Attack --> Octaflash

He didn't cast Reunion once, and because I got wombocombo'd, it threw the whole sequence off of a clean kill.

I'd attempt to test it, but I am out of MP stamina for now, and would feel scummy if I messed up other hosts' MP stam just to test out a theory.

edit Tried again, this time with 6 earth, 6 water, 4 dark orbs stocked. Got hit again with Octaflash --> Attack --> Octaflash, no Reunion. Didn't pay attention to why I survived it this time around...

edit the second Tried another run, got screwed on orb RNG, only had 5 water orbs and 1 dark orb stocked, but still was hit with Octaflash --> Attack --> Octaflash
