    FFRK - Hidden Resolve (FFVII) Event & Boss Strats

    Event ETA: 1/19
    Event Quests ETA: 1/19
    Bonus Battles ETA: 1/22
    Event Ends: 1/29

    Event Info

    Basic information below is copy/pasted from above link. Any extra information gathered once the event goes live will be posted here in the OP in the form of quotes.

    ==== Notable Rewards ====

    Phantasm is a new 4* ability that has a 50% chance to sleep


    ==== Characters Required ====

    No characters required for non bonus battles. There will be Event Quests. The first 4 floors of the Wutai Pagoda will require Yuffie to be solo. The last floor will need to be taken on with a party of 3 and require Yuffie to be one of them.

    Yuffie’s Training + (Boss Rush): Yuffie, for all 3 bosses in this boss rush
    The Four Saints +++: Yuffie
    The Strictest Father 【Ultimate】: Yuffie


    ==== Bonus Battles ====

    Yuffie’s Training +

    1. Ark Dragon x2 (~47000 HP each)
    2. Red Dragon (~108000 HP)
    3. Schizo [2 heads] (~70000 HP each)

      Magic Break(down) for dragon. Remember when one of Schizo's heads dies, it immediately casts Dragon Fang which does heavy lightning damage to all targets. Breakdown effects are removed before this is cast. So bring Shell + Wall to be safe.


    Recommended abilities: Breakdowns, AoE
    Recommended RW: Blade Beam, Black Materia, Sentinel’s Grimoire


    Those who Protect the Materia ++

    Boss: Manasvin Warmech (~187000 HP)

    • Defeat Materia Keeper without being KO’d.
    • Afflict Materia Keeper with Slow.
    • Afflict Materia Keeper with Sap.

      He has high MND so Paralyze might get resisted, Stop is another good choice. Sap availability is listed at the bottom of this post.


    Vulnerabilities: Poison / Paralyze / Slow / Stop / Blind / Sap

    Recommended abilities: Intimidate, Stop, Venom Buster, Shadowblade, Dark Buster, Shellga, Breakdowns
    Recommended RW: Lunatic High, Boon, Sentinel’s Grimoire, Stoneskin


    The Four Saints +++

    Bosses:
    1. Staniv: ~72800
    2. Shake: ~64000
    3. Chekov: ~64400
    4. Gorkii: ~68700


    • Defeat the Four Saints without being KO’d.
    • Win without Yuffie being KO’d.
    • Afflict Staniv with Slow.

      "They have low HP but they hit hard. Either go slow and steady with a defensive RW, or go all out with Blade Beam. Quetzalcoatl is especially effective here. Also, if you’re going for a fast kill, Slowing Staniv is not even required."


    Vulnerabilities:
    • Gorkii: Poison / Paralyze / Slow / Stop / Blind / Sap
    • Shake, Chekov, Staniv: Poison / Paralyze / Slow / Blind / Sap


    Recommended abilities: AoE
    Recommended RW: Sentinel’s Grimoire, Stoneskin, Boon, Lunatic High, Blade Beam, Shadow Flare


    The Strictest Father 【Ultimate】

    Boss: Godo(~286400 HP)

    • Defeat Godo without being KO’d.
    • Win without Yuffie being KO’d.
    • Afflict Godo with Sap.

      • Godo switches between a White and Red mask every turn
      • The Red mask does both physical and magic attacks. The White mask does only magic, and is able to use Graviga on one target (turns into Gravija to all targets when in Very Weak state)
      • He hits very hard so get all your mitigations up ASAP.
      • He has a lot of AoE so bring an AoE heal and/or Drain attacks to help with healing
      • Once he enters his Weak state he gains the ability to counter your attacks with Cura



    Recommended abilities: Breakdowns (especially Magic), Shellga, Protectga, Steal Power, Shadowsteel
    Recommended RW: Sentinel’s Grimoire, Stoneskin, Lunatic High, Boon, Hymn of the Fayth

    Quote Originally Posted by BG Notes

    • Bioga will hit for ~800 HP with Magic Break, Shell and Wall
    • Trine will hit for ~1200 HP with Magic Break and Shell
    • Trine will hit for ~500 HP with Magic Break, Shell and Wall
    • A regular attack will hit a character (back row) for ~2200 HP with no mitigation
    • A regular attack will hit a character (front row) for ~1800 HP with Steal Power and Protect
    • A regular attack will hit a character (front row) for ~700 HP with Steal Power, Protect and Wall
    • Beast Sword will hit for ~650 HP (front row) with Steal Power, Protect and Wall
    • Beast Sword will hit for ~400 HP (back row) with Steal Power, Protect and Wall


    Of course, all damage values can go up or down depending on def/res. Numbers listed should be an average case.

    I dunno. Power orbs in general seem to be in high demand going forward. I have almost 300 GPO's saved and no way am I missing out on these

    The solo ones will be fun at least, except you can't heal here unlike FF7 (outside of Steal HP and RW).

    I think I'll not have any issues at all with these.

    Looking forward to the FF7 Warmech though.

    The event quests almost makes it tempting to go after her relic in the 2nd banner(aoe heal with 0 ATB charge)

    Tell you what... Lightning's RM3 is ridiculous. It's like having Haste permanently. Good for auto battles.

    burned one mythril because the event quests looked fun

    put her in the back row with a ranged weapon (I used the free pumpkin), steal hp, tempo flurry, black materia RW on the boss, gtfo

    didn't even have her at 50 for loner/solitude rm, didn't matter (at least for the first few bosses, on the 90 difficulty one now and have the eggs to break her, waiting for tomorrow now)

    the one boss who can paralyze is really fucking annoying though.

    First boss from event quests (Floor 1) was a joke. Reflected himself then Regen'd me. With LH RW and Steal Power he hit for less than I regen'd (I egged Yuffie to 45). May use exp refreshes for the other ones so I can keep the Steal Power/Tempo Flurry combo for abilities.

    I was able to do them all on the first try after egging Yuffie to 50 (though she's one of my fav chars so she was getting egged anyways)



    I saw Schizo was back and was like "Fuck" until I realized I have a mage team now and have enough AoE to down the fuckers at the same time

    If you kill them both at the same time make sure you have your own mitigation up (Shellga & SG/SS2). You'll get hit with double Dragon Fang if you kill them both at the same time and Breakdowns wear before they use them.

    Second solo Yuffie didn't go so well, ended up dead and not reacting fast enough. Going to take Steal HP from now on.

    90 difficulty boss is hard solo D: I should've brought Steal HP too lol

    Edit: Beat it mostly thanks to para from my 100 gem 5* Boomerang. Was useful after all. Took too much solo damage though so didn't master x.x

    Steal HP isn't doing it for me without Steal Power, and the trash mobs are hard at 50. I'll go back and solo when she's uncapped so I can drop RM on her.

    Take Yuna's RW to any of them and it's basically a guaranteed win if you have some modicum of VII synergy. Tricky part just might be getting to the boss with decent HP levels depending on trash and how they hit/miss. R4 Steal Power and Tempo Flurry should more than suffice, though.
