Highwind Guide & Tips ~ Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis 

Hey everyone hope your day is going amazing! Remember this guide is a first look guide. So things will change like I said near the end of the video it'll be better to upgrade everything before upgrading to the next level once we get a nice paint item collection.

isn't the unit thing just saying that once you get 1 million, the amount will be displayed as 1M and so on?

15:20 Max one-hit damage in Battle Tower of the Cetra / Midgar Falls Exploit the enemy weakness with the relevant summon and/or Arcanum and/or +Fire pot., +Ice or +Thunder weapons.

honestly this highwind mechanic is incredible. And Im super happy to see not just another expedition thing, but one that brings real utility and purpose to the game. This will really help boost up f2p or bad rng accounts to the current whale level (or low whale level anyway) while elevating whales to go level lol

highwind is cool and all, but until we see how they rerun events, that overboosting one might be a little hard on new players in the long term. the more events, the more potential weapons missed. i cant even imagine starting the game after those limit break banners. or after the crossovers etc. still a neat addition for passive collection bonus.

you can get enemies from collecting items. it say in the help for the highwind under airship battles (and collecting items may summon rare enemies)

I got rare enemy early this morning with my rarity upgrade still set to 1. For me it was a freebie win vs 2 cactuar for 3 of the rare mat, and i believe 5k paint. This did earn me the rare mission clear as well to get the 20 rare mat.

My headcanon is that RedXIII is struggling with those paint can because of his paws. The only one who wants to give a helping hand is Barret but....

I think there is an argument to be made to not save the gas cans, if they give you early progress and allow you to upgrade faster then that makes up for getting less resources than in you horde them for later.

what i want to know is, do the stats you get from those collection items in highwind that give attack magic and defense boost only apply to the fights in the highwind missions or do those stats also apply on any other modes?

rarity seeker definitely helps, i been keeping all mine even, so im at 10 across the board, i woke up and had 2 rare battles, both were just cactuars that died in 1 hit and they dropped 5k paint cans per battle, and got 3 astrowinds each battle

Thanks for the tip about the one hit max. How far are you with highwind parts, I’m at 26 for three of them and 24 for rarity?

The only thing I'd likely skip from OB'ing are those that give physical or magical attack. C weapon damage, HP, and defenses, all incredibly valuable! Getting a 3% extra def is probably not gonna be much on the 100 point base, but if it applies over final values, then that can make harder stuff like summon quests much more manageable!

One way to get lots of paint is just using lot of stamina. There are highwind missions like use 1000/2000/3000 stamina missions that give lots of paint when you reach each goal.

Tower not working for me for the one hit damage using summons anything else I could try?

I just want to know what items are going to be collectable from highwind. Are we going to be able to get mythril ingots? Mythril? memory crystals? I have no idea, but if those things are possible then treasure rarity is going to be important sooner than maybe capacity

So more info about Rare enermy encounters - they can appear when you Collect Exploration Items so not relating to when you level up your highwind level. The rewards seems to be quite big. At level 11 highwind, it gave me a rare battle that rewarded 5k paint.

Hey Octo, appreciate the tips! I also have been focusing on paint cans but slowed down after I got the HP Collector Item (one of the best items imo) Regarding Rare Enemy encounters- there is a chance for it to happen AFTER you collect your rewards... This can happen as soon after collect just 1 exploration item! I bring this up b/c someone used one of their highwind boosters for testing and collected and got lucky enough to get a Rare Enemy to spawn! Now this begs the question, are rare enemy encounters tied to that "Item Units" information you brought up... Like if you collect 1 item *frame 1* as it appears, is that less efficient than building up a bigger "collection" of items..? Does that increase the chance of rare monster encounter? Hope we'll be able to find out soon! EDIT: Also, thanks for that "How to score high damage" tip at the end, super helpful!

I use tower lvl 40 with fire summon, Tifa,reeves (cat doll) as support

P sure boosters are worth to pop if you can get levels on total paint cans

Fire is definitely the way to go for the damage because you can ALSO use Crimson Flare to enable Ifrit to do even more damage.

So did you figure out the letter ranking system for the highwind?

Which is the best collection item to Overboost first, please?

I got a overboost item in the rare encounter. I am on lv 14 now, hehe

Bro I just hope this Highwind give us more Weapon Parts, the Buffs are awesome! Just hope we can get more weapons parts now that we really need to evolve them for the buffs, if is just the characters gems, its gonna be so trash those rewards!

Have you done an updated character tier and weapon tier list? Everything is like 4 weeks old or older.

The one hit max seems to be glitching or something. I hit for 200k plus every time and I’m not getting credit for it. It’s accepts some characters but not others wtf???

>Watching this video after burning all my gas cans Whoops

CID’s idea of fixing up the highwind is tearing over to Benjamin Moore and grabbing 500000 cans of paint. At this point, I don’t think there’s any metal left on the highwind. It’s just a floating blob of latex.

Fly baby, fly 🙃

my rare enemes was kaktar and they were hecka easy my ship is 14

I'd have thought M Mega, G Giga, T Tera etc

I got a rare enemy from levelling up to 9 and 12. I’d wager there’s one at 15.

The letters just mean instead of saying 10000000000000000000000 paint cans, it's 10T cans or whatever.

Thanks for the vid. Good info

Gotta be honest... I'm not looking forward to this Highwind stuff but anyways thanks for the run through!

Hi

Love your videos, but the fact you have spent 10000 stamina in the opening day of the event seems weird as
