FFRK - The Second Coming (FF7) Event & Strategies

[Akiyama]

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.

It's always weird seeing people say they were delaying walls and I'm like.. the only wall I have is Protect/Shellgas, Full Break and Power Breakdown :<

Try what I did if managing it is too much. If you have Steiner's RM that builds you SB gauge when being hit, put it on Greg, throw him in back row with Draw Fire + something, and use the free FFX Medica rod. You can literally spam that Medica every other turn. It's insane. I totally mitigated the mad AOE spam because of it.

Oh, I also had Agrias doing Cleansing Strike too, but yeah. For me, since I have no defensive option it's a pure DPS race and thankfully I have P. Cecil with his BSB, Tyro hitting SLGs for a metric fuck ton (I have him using Tifa's Platinum fists for realm synergy) and Agrias doing Cleansing with Yuna and Greg doing the healing.

Greg can truly do anything, Haha.

Oh and just to throw it out there, my RS with 7 is actually mediocre. FFX is probably my best synergy. For FFVII, I have the Basilisk Dagger I got early on in my game play, that Gold Sword, and Platinum Fists, and then like.. one armor piece (the bracer I believe) so :<

Definitely doable! You can do it!

Did my 7 synergy Seph without wall, but wouldn't say it was pretty. All about hoping he spread his attacks and didn't spam meteor. Still want an aoe cure ability, though.

[theshun]

Flashing did 1200X2 with Power+Full+Pro (pretty sure wall had worn by then). I let Pecil sit in back with draw and potshot with highest bow (107 for 305 total). His BSSB still hit 4500X5.

Greg is not from VII I'm trying to clear the new Cid mission, already cleared the fight with my A team. I'm gonna try replacing Red with Barret (and use a gun) and Zack with Vincent. My melees are getting wrecked.

Oh! LOL. I completely forgot they added the FFVII thing to make it actually work, I'm sorry!

[Corwen]

For anyone struggling with cid's missions, you could try waiting and completing the rydia event coming tonight up to +++ for the new dragoon skills, then hone and use those skills on cid in the back row. The damage output comboing the 2 skills together is only slightly worse in dps than the powercharge combo, but significantly easier to hone as one is a 4* skill, the other is a 5* skill using fire/lightning/non-ele orbs, and is still a worthwhile combo inside of an A-team as well even without dragoon SBs.

Memento Mori/ Dark Zone combo is up there as well. My Vincent is doing 7500 damage each hit with Dark Zone after Full Break, 9200ish with MM after buff.

And.. done! :D

[Ratatapa]

Will try again tonight, but looking for a good setup for U and U+ CM

Only Unique SB i got for VII is Sephiroth's black Materia and Yuffie's Clear Tranquill

I did some tests but I had issues doing DMG before i lost all my walls charge

Thanks

What is your party spread (or who are you bringing)?

[Ratatapa]

What is your party spread (or who are you bringing)?

Everyone VII wise is 80 exept Cid/Caith Sith and Barrett that are 65

[kuronosan]

So bring Cloud, Seph, Aerith, Zack, Yuffie.

I don't think you dived Cloud, so DF+Reta is out of the question anyway.

Aerith can be your healer
Seph should have LS, Ace Striker, Flashing Blade
Zack should have Dismiss and drain strike or PowerCharge
Bringing Yuffie is a good idea but I'd bring dismissal for her and something
Last one is tricky. Cloud should be in there but you need a support for breakdowns... so stick Cloud in and RW Keeper's Tome?

If you have Christmas Mitts use those for an attack boost. You won't have haste at all though. Or Wall.

Tricky indeed.

Personally I didn't bother with the VII-only. It was annoying enough with my A-Team. I can't imagine not having native haste or wall.

Record Diving Cloud to have Knight 3* is impossible anyway since it requires tons of 4* fragments we don't have access to yet.

Is that an advanced class then? I never really understood the difference. Top level is 3*, middle is 4*, bottom is 5*?

How does that work?

Most characters get 3 basic classes and 3 advanced classes (the exceptions to this are OK and Tyro), the 3 basic classes uses 3* fragments to master, which when mastered unlocks the tied advanced classes.

The advanced classes use 4* fragments to master and these are the ones that usually contain the added abilities and major stats.

5* fragments are only used for unlocking the 6* skill that are on associated characters RD tree, they are independent and only require the associated 5* skill fragment. For example, Faris has 6* Mug Morale class on her tree and it only requires 5* THF fragments to 1. Unlock 6* THF, 2. Create Mug Morale R1 3. Increase THF Ability DMG. +3%.

[Alkar]

I strongly suggest to NOT use 4 melee characters in the front row with 1 healer, you won't be able to keep up. Vincent is a great candidate if you have MM+DZ honed, so is Cid with the new Dragoon abilities. Barret is better as a support if you have a gun.
I think Black Materia is also ranged but Sephy has no other ranged skills iirc. 2 DPSes+ support are more than enough Rata.

I had Cloud with Blade Beam (Full Charge R2+ Lifesiphon R3), Vincent (MM R4, DZ R3), Barret ( Power BD, Full Break, Inspiring Light), Aerith ( Curaja R5, Protectga R1, Healing Wind), Cait (Curaga R5, Haste R5, shared heal). Haste is extremely important, especially on Vincent because he's on a timer. Also Doublecast Haste is godly, put that RM on Cait Vicent did die towards the end due to timer and I had to eat 2 Meteors.

[Kaslo]

We need a Jump Version of Lifesiphon

Hastemarch Wrath Entrust Edward? Nope still not worth it

[Corwen]

If anyone wants an example of a CM U+ run that lacks unique SBs (only used Red's pseudo-ether once which didn't do anything to change the outcome, as well as having 2 shared medicas and a shared shellga), here is my run:



It does utilize r3 thief's revenge and r3 dark zone and decent synergy. I'd imagine r3 powercharge combo with zack, full charge + dark bargain or mirror of equity on seph, full charge + punishing palm on tifa, and r3 dragoon jump combo on cid are great alternatives for the DPS slots. Barret would probably be the better support since he could back row with a gun but I don't have him leveled so I went with Red.
