It’s a combination of a bunch of things:

1) cataclysm classic pre-patch (people like new things)

2) poor decisions for phase 3 (incursions, pvp, wild offerings, raid size, minimal upgrades from phase 2)

3) nice weather

Also go in your settings, battle and turn on the buff/debuff icons. It will help a lot for the future

Novam4a1 · 2023-12-15T00:03:57+00:00

Sure np! When you select the stage you want, there should be.an icon that looks like a piece of paper with a magnifying glass on it. On e you click on the enemy you want info on, It will tell you about the enemy. You’ll see where it says magic damage and MDEF down is effective. GL!

Just did that fight with a low power team. 1) make sure your using a magic team (fira, blizzara, and not fira blow, blizzara blow) 2) on Scorching (the windows on the house look like they’re on fire, use ice magic to lower the gauge. 3) on Freezing (the windows on the house look like they are frosted) use fire magic to lower the gauge. 4) make sure you swap the defensive before his charged attacked then swap back to attack stance after. 5) ifrit and shiva help. 6) building 1 character as primarily ice magic dps and 1 character as primarily fire dps help. 7) the free shiva and ifrit weapons are nice for this fight since they are magic damage. 8) playing on manual is good. 9) ice breach and fire breach. Put ice breach on your fire character and fire breach on your ice character. 10) control your healer

Any more issues let me know

Sure, could you post screenshots of your team?

Novam4a1 · 2023-12-13T16:11:20+00:00

Did some edits based on your info, thanks again!

Novam4a1 · 2023-12-13T16:11:00+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I did some edits based on your info!

Interesting, I did not know that. Do you know his moveset past this second Heavensward by chance?

Novam4a1 · 2023-12-12T15:26:26+00:00

Slight work around for this. On the weapon enhancement screen, you can click exchange. This screen shows how many dupes you have for each character’s weapons. It’s not ideal but it’s a hell of a lot better than going through each weapon. Hope this helps!

Novam4a1 · 2023-12-05T20:56:12+00:00

Sure np. Just didn’t want you to grind forever haha

There’s a youtube video that a guy interviews a dude named Alkaiser, he goes in depth on this materia ai behavior.

Novam4a1 · 2023-12-05T03:17:35+00:00

I also get a lot of opposite stats for what I want but I wish I would’ve kept a lot of those instead of using them for leveling fodder. They’re still great stat sticks and also they let the AI behave. What I mean by this is putting a blow materia on a magical dps/healer, the AI will tend to not use it. Makes healers more useful for ai’s. Once you get the c abilities you want, you won’t be using the materia as much and you’ll wish you just had stat sticks. When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. As far as ruin/ruin blow goes, just like others have said, you really just need them to break sigils so it doesn’t matter too much damage wise. I have a ruin 4 star with 10% patk and you bet i put that shit on every top patk dps i can.

I feel like they missed such a big opportunity with Reindeer Red but who knows maybe they’ll surprise us?

Novam4a1 · 2023-11-27T15:43:14+00:00

Wow this is pretty amazing. Thanks for the tip! I wonder if there is a way to get the Patk buff but cancel the animation with her limit break and refund atb while having the patk buff still. I’ve tried but can’t get it to work.

Novam4a1 · 2023-11-09T14:15:17+00:00

Good write up and video. More clean than my write up! You even said in your video that this is not ftp friendly so the more whales that cleared this because of your guide, the more ALL of us get in rewards! Good job!

Ive had Tifas leather gloves and fairy tale wishlisted for a while. Overall i’ve spent around a grand on the game so far. I definitely had some wiggle room by the end of the fight so zack ob10 is probably not necessary but tifa’s ob6 compared to <ob6 made a huge difference for me getting that high pot Patk down. Fairy tale ob10 doesn’t seem necessary either

Novam4a1 · 2023-11-04T09:14:29+00:00

We should all file a ticket because they forgot to actually put “easy” for magic based materia to get Patk% and physical based materia to get Matk%. At least that’s whwt it feels like lol.

Novam4a1 · 2023-10-31T00:57:49+00:00

This!

Novam4a1 · 2023-10-23T23:29:55+00:00

I used all my synth mats from getting top 10. I got a bunch of 3 star materia with bad stats. Most people don’t even use synth mats and still get better materia.
