Lol @ Cloud just sitting there in the middle of a Cross Slash, waiting for Gilgamesh to finish his ten unskippable powerup animations so he can kill him. You should've grabbed the audio of Cloud going "are you done?" from Temple of the Ancients and spliced it over his normal limit line. 😂
Build: Gear Sleek Saber and skills; Atb charge - mag attack - ATK power+20 another Atk power 20 Armor Cetran bracer Accessory Genji Glove Weapon Materia: lightning and wind + elemental HP absorb + enemy skill Strength up Magic up (Odin summon) •••Armor Materia: Fire and ice paired with elemental Precision defense focus Steadfast block ATB stagger Skillmaster First strike Dark side For people who want to read it it's a good build I'm going to try it right now Thank you for this
I'm so dumb I was going to get mad at you for not posting the build LOL I forgot people show it at the end. Thank you I will try this I've been liking clouds combat ever since I learned it after 200 hours of easy mode lol
Sorry to do the "not nice" thing of breaking the "69 comments" status, but between Enemy Skill Materia, Darkside, Str/Mag+ materia, Bravery/Faith and Fury from Prime Mode, that's 220% normal damage. No wonder you are pressuring enemies so damn fast. BTW, Sephiroth's Shadow Chains can be parried? Is that what I'm seeing? Is it really that easy to negate?!
You have to learn his attack patterns and block then counterattack and try to kill him on the first stagger if possible because he gets more attacks and gets more annoying when below half HP. Also before he use his Shield 🛡️ throw fira or another spell so he can pull his shield to block it and finish the Shield he pulled out with attacks then fast stagger him and kill him. Also Blizzaga spell has the Highest stagger from all spells. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hbOhssMnYLk.htmlsi=nW5Y0uOivCLPYspQ watch this video and see how i deal with the shield
Damn, made that look too easy. I’m struggling with the Odin fight and only made it to Gilgamesh once. Jaw just kept dropping further after each round. Are there any good tips or places to practice getting down the hang of perfect parrying? I try and get them sometimes but I think I’m prematurely hitting block before the animation. Is the key to use triangle as the block/ counter when evading in Operator mode? Are your weapon levels at max or 8 for this fight?
First: the best practice is always against the challenge you want to complete. Second: there is no tip or trick i can give you for perfect blocks you need to memorize the attack patterns of each boss to be able to perfect block almost any time. Third: i have my weapons on max level yes, which it helps with the dmg so you can kill them faster but thats it. And make sure you have equipped Precision Defence Focus Materia, maybe the best tip I can give you is that you don't need to press block at the exact time the actual attack is connecting but just right before it hits.
@@KalmashinV guess I just gotta slow my breathing calm down and be patient instead of trying to anticipate sit back and watch, and of course practice,practice, practice. Would you recommend completing all of the VR challenges before the hard mode run? I got 4 trophies left to platinum.
@@Clamgoblin and then some nore practice... Just take the rest of the Manuscripts you are missing and then do VR Challenge if it's that hard because more DMG is great if you are not patient. Just google where to find hard mode manuscript, there are many guides.
What about atb boost? You probably could drop the hp absorb from e skill in favor of that (also the matk + 20 for the 2nd atb charge up) Great run looking forward to seeing more Edit: also haste for that matter you'd almost surely be better off with time materia than atb stagger
Nope, the whole idea is to heal passively with HP Absorption when you cast Sonic Boom or whenever your Plasma Discharge proc. And you need +20 M.Atk because those 2 skills do Magic DMG.
@@KalmashinV you get such little hp back from that though Lose 5% of your health for sonic boom to get back a few hundred hp (ofc it's a necessary cast for brave/faith) Plasma discharge does only like 200-300 damage on a non mage build so that's like 100 hp per proc The vast majority of your health recovery is coming back between rounds
Bro, I love this build and I would want to try this to be my main build in hard mode. Any tips on how to master it like yourself? Do you have to be an expert at blocking or is it forgiving when u get hit? Thanks!
I don't think u need to block that much if you just wanna go through the Hard Mode levels, but if you fight Boss or something u have to block at least 80%of the time unless you dodge and just heal up with the HP Absorption paired with Enemy Skill. Basically u have to use Sonic Boom often and make sure u get ATB charges fast so your Plasma Discharge proc and heal you as well and one more thing Sonic Boom and Plasma Discharge Deal MAGIC dmg. So you need at least 360 or even more M.ATK so you can heal more from those skills
@@KalmashinVthank you very much for your kind comment 💖 As a side note I have exactly what you have showed in the end of the video as your build but my Magic attach is at 399 but yours is at 400+.. I have the same exact materia and weapons but 10 points short.. could it be the folio? Edit: I found that I have to complete the hard mode mini games ffs… Also I have the genji gloves on but a braver with sonic boom and dark side as well as the berserk doesn’t get me over 10,000 damage like you.. my damage is around 7,000 per braver 😓
@@ash1k015 erm first cast Darkside then Prime Mode and be sure to have Berserker lvl2 on plus sonic Boom when you cast Braver The Magic attack is fine on what you have and i have every folio for Cloud that means my weapons are lvl 9
@@jon0o when you activate Prime Mode after th second attack when you hold Square button( attack ) you can see if it's active below your ATB bars lvl 1 and lvl 2 Berserker has different icons but kinda similar to each other.
I’m gonna be real I didn’t know parry’s became counters when you used punisher mode until near the end of the game. The combat in this game is way deeper than most would think.
For sure actually i haven't used Punisher Mode thath much in мy first play through but if you wanna win this Challenges on Hard Mode you need to counter everything with Cloud.
@@RazorCallahanDKwhat makes this a skill issue? Someone is expressing that they learned something from this video and you’re just out here being a negative motherfucker about it🤣🤣
@@tolkienblackstill not quite, after all of the crafting and defeating gilgamesh you have to fight certain enemies on hard mode to get their crafting materials
