FFRK - The Second Coming (FF7) Event & Strategies

[Kaslo]

For future reference don't bring Shout and Punishing Palm (or any +att skills) in the same battle as they cancel each other out. Only Dark Bargain is safe because it's a different buff.
And iirc Chakra has a lower +attack buff so it's not a good combo with Punishing Palm either. I know that's like half the Monk skillset lol.

Oh shit, I always bring PP for Tifa :/

[Ratatapa]

They just gave 2 Mythrils for everyone

They also added 2 new CM for those who wanna do the fights CM way and they extended it for 1 more week to give chance to people to do it

[Kirin]

Generosity out the wazoo...

and still no orbfest.

[Corwen]

Lol, they would put new missions up shortly after I did it for fun. U+ CM clear the same way I did it last page

Spoiler: show

recycled party setup pic from my last clear out of laziness, same setup except i gave vincent a +45 MAG ff7 accessory

SBs used:
Yuffie - Shared Shellga
Aeris - Shared Medica
Cait Sith - Shared Medica
Vincent - None
Red - Howling Moon

Will have to do the U later when a 60 stam investment is more convenient

[synistar]

I guess I could use more MHO. Now that I know U+ is not a dps race because of Ultimate Flashing Blade, I guess I could deck everyone with drain abilities. Only thing I worry about is Ultimate Meteor. Have to fit in a shellga shared soul break on someone.

[Robertfb]

Decided to try again doing Seph Ult+ CM since I realized like the idiot that I am that 2 healers would probably help alot with keeping up with his aoes and sure enough, not only completed the CM this time around, but also mastered it .

Was on emulator so don't have screenshots of party but I was rocking:

Lvl 80 Sephiroth Lifesiphon R4 / Full Charge R3 Heroic Stance (Black Materia)
Lvl 65 Barret Power Breakdown R3 / Full Break R2 Ace Striker (Grenade Bomb)
Lvl 70 Aerith Protectga R2 / Curaja R4 Mako Might (Shared Medica)
Lvl 65 Cid Lifesiphon R4 / Armor Break R4 Battleforged (Hyper Jump)
Lvl 71 Cait Sith R2 Shellga / R5 Curaja Dr. Mog's Teachings (Toy Soldier)

Wouldn't have been able to do this without Wall if I didn't have Toy Soldier so very happy I did pull it.

[synistar]

Tried it once. My DPS was fine, just keeping everyone alive was harder. Even with Leaching Jump and Drain Strike, it didn't keep the heat off of Aerith. And it was probably a mistake to squeeze in a Dragon Force SB which did very little in the end. Also forgot Wall Recast at 40% which meant shadow flare to the party for 2.5k.

[Sumy]

Aeriths new "Crit + Magic-Blink SB" was MVP here. When combined with Shout - everything was dealing amazing damage and Ultimate Meteor did't hit anyone.

Still lost one medal to damage taken, but mastered easily.

Spoiler: show

everyone was alive when seph was at like 10%. 3 straight ultimate meteors took care of that.

didn't screencap party so relevant stuff:

cloud: drain strike, siphon, Fenrir overdrive
cid: leech leap, siphon, hyper jump
yuffie: steal power, thiefs revenge, basic SB
Cait: curaga, shellga, shared ff4 cura
aerith: curaja, protectga, shared ff7 cura
rw: sg

Fucking tiny of pixel health wipes killing me inside : (

So, I didn't do this with the normal FFVII only chars as I wanted the other 'free' orbs, but I did finally beat this thanks to a PSA on reddit that suggested Greg + Draw Fire + Stiener's RM that helps you build SB gauge when being attacked.

Basically, I threw that free FFX rod on him, put him back row with draw fire/retal (so his damage retaling wasn't great) and it built his gauge hella fast. Died once and used a Phoenix continue but rolled after since I could put the regen staff back on Yuna and have that regen + Greg healing like every other turn for about 1100-1300. Cheesy way to go about it but the only way I can mitigate without a Wall.

Shout RW'd. So glad to beat it.

Grats on the win, just an fyi later (going to throw this info up when first Fragment comes out), but in 1 week we'll get Ifrit Fragment, he'll be the toughest boss we'll face (lvl 255 difficulty compared to Ult++ 180), so don't worry about clearing him since like Nightmare dungeons, he'll appear each month.

[Ratatapa]

Ffs his dmg his too high for ff7 CM even with 2.5 healers

My SG RW drops too fast for me

[Robertfb]

At least next batch of CMs won't be as stupid as this, this one wasn't designed to be a CM and they just slapped one on it.

Oh I have zero hope in beating Fragment Ifrit lol, I'm not even thinking I can.

[hyoton]

Did this again with the 7 dudes and went much smoother than the non RS team. Honed up powerbreakdown (yuck) and leeching leap (v good).

[kuronosan]

I have much more confidence in Ifrit than I do with Seph.

[Deathbringer]

Fuck this Ult+ I'm free.

Almost wiped to final pixel of health when protect and shell wore. Yuffie's Insta-Medica saved my ass.

[arus2001]

Roughed out a clear, too. Still need to go back for Ult, which I actually did before finding out about the bug. Think I'll see what other people did this time around, though.

[Alkar]

Gonna try again and delay Walls a little bit. Without it his damage is way too high even with 2 healers. Flashing Blade also makes rushing with Shout kinda rough.
