This is not looking good for me. Your Clive has a static ATK materia and variance doesn't seem to be helping me. Didn't think a 500 ATK difference would still cause my damage to lag behind like this. Even after trading some bulk for extra ATK, I'm still lagging behind by 200 points. EDIT: *Adjusted stats for Clive, still 200 ATK under the video's, does the fight again, characters start overshooting in variance which risks the whole strategy at turn 11*
