FFRK - A Lone Wolf's Lament (FFVII) Event & Boss Strats

[Jem]

KK, make me win... I can egg folks to 65 if I need to. Only other non-synergy SSBs I have is Squall with Blasting Zone and Tyros earth book.

If Planet Protector isn't needed I can also use Dragon Force from Aerith, but AOEs tend to take it all out in one shot.

My RW is typically SG otherwise someone gets killed FAST.

Spoiler: show

I agree with Diomer here, you should really have zero issues winning with that sort of firepower. This is what I used



Basic strat was Lunatic High + Shellga up immediately. Planet Protector up next. (May take a reset of two for them not to be dicks pre-mitigation). 1st Sentinel's Grimoire (RW) up at around first Orb, second at 3rd orb. Refresh everything as needed. Lifesiphon and Drain Strike away on Bahamut.

I saved SB's for orbs. Fire Blossom took care of adds for the most part (was hitting for 9999).

I would say if anything you're possibly taking too much AoE? Ruinga, Meteor, Kick and Bladeblitz seems overkill, especially when none of them are the best AoE for those adds (Fire Blossom is). Maybe switch Ruinga out for single target.

With planet protector, would you recommend the SB gauge RM over dragoon determination?

Can do life siphon on cloud (r4) with blade beam SB

[Jem]

Absolutely.

Yes or a +damage RM, but BB should cap if that's your concern.

Well your gear is certainly fine! Way too much AOE offense and not nearly enough mitigation (are you using a shellga soul break? magic break?) given the single healer, along with non stacking boostgas PP and BA. There's at least two ways to approach this: pick PP and replace tifa and/or reno (will need a second AOE with blade blitz), or pick Burning Arrow, give tifa the lifesiphon, and put the watch on aerith, and replace reno since you don't need that much AOE. A second watch might not be a bad idea either. In either case replace armor break with magic breakdown or give one of the com 3+ magic break, and get shellga on there. Reserve sentinel grimoire for 80% down, just try to survive till then.

You might have enough offense to actually runic RW, but I think you'd still need shellga.

[Jem]

Alternatively put Tifas glove on Gilgamesh and have him Fire Blossom away. I forget if the attack boost on Tifas SB is AoE but I think it is, if so it's overriding the better PP with its weaker attack boost

My 7 synergy is too godlike. I couldn't even complete Seymour (ended up giving up)

Bahamut was by far the easiest Ultimate I've done to date.

1/1 without coming anywhere close to dying. Cut it pretty close on abil usage though.

It dropped NEO for my troubles; lost 3 medals

Flame Blososm Gilg's a good idea too, Gilg's so versatile with his weapons.
Also apparently poster has crystal glove, the zack one - not sure if it'd be better than hyper jump but an AOE option and great side effect.

I have Zacks Glove (6 star), and his Sword (5 star). The glove is OK damage under Planet Protector, but the stun effect doesn't seem to land on Bahamut and his dogs. The sword is OK, the 8 hits can usually cap out at 4k each under Planet Protector

[Jem]

The stun effect does land (it's actually 100%). And the advantage of that SB is that it's also AoE.

Oops, I got the zack's glove description right but not the name (the aforementioned Zack's Glove). I guess it's too late now but the dismissal better land, it's supposed to be 100%. Anyway, the total potency between air strike and rush assault is small (about 1 phys pot) so since there's multiple targets here, air strike is far better.

[Teorem]

Fuck this Ultimate so much.

Spent over 600 stamina trying to find a setup that would get me past the first Petaflare. Had to resort to using Mithril and beat it for the first time, just over the wire.

Having no native SG/SSII, AoE Boost, or decent multi-target, multi-hit SSB seriously sucks.

Ur doing it rong

Dismissal works fine for me on all of them. It should have worked for you.

[Sumy]

Apparently I need to make a video - the stun from his SB is not 100%, after using it 4 times the blue stun icons have appeared on only 3 occasions, and NEVER on Bahamut.

The stun DOES land on the -flare things, but does nothing to the countdown.

[Jem]

Unless the mob is immune, the stun on Air Strike is 100%. I've never personally seen it miss and JP also has it down as 100% stun too.
