POWER LEVEL Guide ~ Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis 

This is pretty funny coz so many people think you aren't F2P when they can easily confirm this if they watch your streams or vods. xD

Sitting at 99,200 currently I would say it is definitely worth it to level your party to 50 asap as the character progression tree boosts you so much more than leveling/duping weapons, also dont sleep on enhancing materia.

*I really needed this guide because I was stuck.* Every other video keeps saying "just clear story ", but this is the first time I ever heard someone mention to use *Free Party* mode to do it. Most videos keep saying to avoid wasting stamina and just clear the Weapon enhancement quests. This is the first time I heard to avoid grinding and just first-time clear everything first. Incredibly helpful video. I appreciate it. 😄👍

Holy shit! Dude! I haven't seen you since KHUX went down! Super happy to see that I've apparently just been missing your vids

Omg thank you for the tips! I was seriously overwhelmed with the games system despite how long i been playing FF lol. This is very useful thank you!!

Honestly great video man, been playing since launch nonstop and I’ve played a lot of gatcha games but this one in my opinion is one of the best for F2P. Keeping making great videos covering this game please!

Man I miss the Octo content. Union cross days were amazing and now I feel like we’re back with that with this game. Keep up the great work Octo.

Thanks for this. I'm working on Aerith, Zack and Cloud but also Tifa😅 As we can't have Clouds girl behind him

Hey SmellyOctopus! I started playing at the end of the rebirth banner/ beginning of the project zero event last month and I just want to say thanks. This video along with some of your others have been a huge help to me staying F2P and really enjoying this as my first gacha. My mains right now are Glenn, Matt, and Cloud and I’ve been able to enjoy a good amount of content with them at max level and your tips. Thank you for the great videos! You easily earned my sub and I look forward to more of your content!

Thank you great video. I was scared to take on content with higher level recommendations, after watching this, I took on a few items and grew from 78K to 95K.

At 135,000, no purchases, and I'm telling you right now all late game is grinding. But if you log in at the right time they give you 10 stamina potions a day and 100 free crystals for ad watches which can get you 200 extra stamina per day. Also, don't neglect your chocobos and don't hesitate to buy better ones.

How could you possibly not have ever done the exp quests? The difficulty ramps up very quickly without intense grinding. Your premium rewards must be insane.

Your guides are the best! You've helped me so much back in Opera Omnia and now too! Thanks bro! You're a HERO🤙

I will continue to support you Octo, to keep that algorithm going with comments, but I have dropped the game for now. Never been one for needing to do co-ops to keep up, and not looking for a game to take up way too much of my time at the moment 😆 But you keep doing an awesome job, dear Octo, & I will continue to watch, click like & comment ♥️

Union Cross, Opera Omnia, and now Ever Crisis. Thanks for always helping me navigate Square’s mobile titles, Octo ❤️

Thanks for the advice Octo as always.

Great Video, one thing to add that I dont think you touched on was Player Level and how Player Level Caps your Parties Power Level > Increasing Player Level will amke your stronger as all that Gear you have Leveled usually achieves a Higher Power Level that you can get die to being Capped by your Player Level. Interestingly should you use a Solo Character in a Mutipler Match their Power Level will be Higher as the Cap is only effecting One Char rather that 3 Chars.

Hey thanks for a very detailed explanation as to why! Education more than just information.

I honestly can't see how someone can end up without energy recharges, I've been farming a lot all the characters, their streams, weapons, etc, and still I have max recharges and more on the mail

Another amazing video Smelly. Thanks for the work. For my wishlist, I would love u helped us clear crisis dungeons before they expire pleaaase 🙏

was looking for a F2P EC content creator, and seems I found the place. Subbed!!

Excellent guide. Thank you

I've been leveling everyone up that's for the story and I just unlocked summons yesterday. 51k power ftp account, but I do use main team for farming and the dungeons also give a lot of experience and resources

Good recommendations

after 3 days, yes i've learned that not power leveling cloud is a mistake. the game gives you such a head start with him that puting resources into anyone else is a waste of time ughhh... rerolling.

Your guides have helped so much! Thanks a bunch! 🙏🏼 ~ May i ask what's the best build for Barret, please?

Solid advice. I've gotten super unlucky with dupes.. I have like 20 different 5* weapons but so far 0 Murasame dupes 😑

Hey @SmellyOctopus, coming from someone who is at 189k group power. There is no real guide you can release on Materia. It is completely RNG based and walled by time. Sure, you can use 7 of the blue materials to guarantee 2-star Materia, and 2 of the epics to guarantee 2-star Materia, but the sub stats will still be random, the star will still be random. Then if you get a 3-star Materia when you upgrade it has a very small chance to upgrade to 4 stars but will never be able to be a 5 star. So, the only way to get a 5-star Materia is to actually just get one (I have pulled over 1000 Materia and yet to get 1) but then you have to pray the stats are very good. The next way would be to get a 4-star Materia, but the stats on it would have to be good prior to upgrade, then you would upgrade and pray it goes to 5 stars. My suggestion to the free to play would be to focus on only getting 3-star Materia at this time with good stats in all your Materia slots. A 3-star Materia with good stats will be better than any 4-star Materia or 5-star Materia. There is absolutely no huge damage change between 3 star and 5-star Materia. The RNG involved otherwise makes it near impossible for the "right" way to do Materia. An example of a good Materia would be 3 Star Fire with M. Atk% / HP% / Phys Def / Magic Def another would be Fire Blow with P. Atk% / HP% / Phys Def / Magic Def, depending on the character and R. Abilities you could sub out HP for Heal% but not suggested. Who knows maybe someone will get lucky and their 3 stars will upgrade to 4 stars. I leave you with this last.... the grind for materials to actually make Materia is extremely stamina heavy and to upgrade even worse because you need 10 crystals, and they have a low drop rate even on the highest farm stage (pray for the Cactuars for double or triple drop rate). This system needs an overall rework to be beneficial to the entire player base not just F2P. Anyway, hope this helps you build your guide and if you have any questions, you can hit me up on discord and we can theory craft my discord name is Alkaiser. Sorry for the wall of text hope you read this to begin with.

Nice tip on resetting the stage if the Cactuar doesn't pop up!

Not leveling sub equipment is really easy to miss for new players.

Thanks for the tips Octo!

Elliott is the best out there, keep him safe this time around

The summon quest are no joke also. Need to come prepared to beat them.

Just a little tip. If you retreat you do not lose stamina. If you have patince keep retreating until you load up a golden cactuar 😉

What's really funny is whenever someone talks about this game, they says they don't like it because it's a Gacha game but like be fr, you don't have to spend any money on this game and still be good lol. I also feel like the prices are high to incentivize me to not spend money lol

Uff i just grinded the xp for the 3 characters that are new to level 40 just to finish the available part of the story.

Only issue I have with this is for Co-op you can't find anything rn since everyone is busy doing the event

Thanks for the pro tips, dude! Liked and Subscribed.

Damn I haven’t seen a smelly octopus video in a long time since khux

i honestly have not spent a single crystal on pulling yet, i do not think it's worth it with all the freebies so far so i am saving for someone like sephiroth

No way in hell you got all them weapons red and that leveled on FTP, the resources are not even available to upgrade multiple weapon slots for 1 character, not even to mention all 3 characters

its not "required" power level, its recommended, its a big difference, the only required power level is in co-op

Holy hells I haven't seen your channel since KHUX.

your vids are great imma sub

Great info..thx

nice video!

Damn looking at this a month later i was thinking damn 75k on cloud alone f2p no way 😂

Bro why does it matter if Octo was F2P or not? He's making good guides here for everyone plus it's obvious that he isn't F2P, all whales are like 90k-100k. My friend is F2P and he is at 58k. Thanks for the guide, Octo!

helpful video thank you

i didnt realize the purple stars are a whole nother 5 stars you need, i thought it was just purple after max red stars. thats super predatory for monetization >.>

What party would you suggest? Do you have a video for that?

Guys if he was P2W he wouldn't just be 76k power LOL some people forget you can get lucky in gacha pulls 😅

Unlimited Power!

unfortunately you can use most of your tips only once. you get the items only for the first time you complete. (cetra tower, crisis dungeon, story...) when you have completed everything, you don't get anything until you create a new level.

Should I use my crystals on stamps? If so, should I go for barret or tifa summer outfit?

this is helpful since i restarted

Wow any party works…. Thanks my man

Co-op doesn't ever match me since there is no dedicated lobby, maybe have to use a VPN? To get a different server

I don't understand how he has such good gear and at 75k power without using any Stam pots or spending any money.

Dupes have such a big impact lol, I mean my cloud is 45 and nearly everything he wears is either lvl 60 or lvl80 murasame ever because I never got a dupe for it I have lower power than this guy lol Fuck those higher pull rates

Should i level 3/4 stars with good r abilities over 5 star with bad ones?

what i want to know is, how do i get past level 50? just seen that i still can't unlock all the things on the character tree, cause it says, bring cloud to level 50. is this a soft spoiler, or is there a hidden way to gain XP beyond the XP.

The exp one is tottally worth it if youve got low gil lol im sitting at 2 mil now

Well my team is at 60k rn it not hard to gain power just fram a lot you will get there and im rank 30

Is Nanaki worth pairing up with cloud with his banner collar? Or should i stick with Barrett?

They need to add in a quick play option in the game

These are huge tips

can you do a video on how to link the phone account on to blackstack?

You mentioned playing this on Bluestacks. My Google play isn't allowing me to download it I have two phones with it but I would rather play it on my p.c. Any suggestions anyone?

How di you get your weapons rarity so high ? I got ucky at the beginnign and got some 5 stars on draws but now i'm 5 draws dry without a single 5 star pull and 3 and 4 star give pretty much nothing when you need 200 to upgrade once (and probably more later) to a 6 star rarity with a super dilluted weapon pull. I get farming helps but i can' t really seem to target let say murasame, I got it with the guaranteed stamps and never again. You probalby did 10 times more pulls than me but even so it doesn't seem i could get weapons that high this quick.

im hitting a block at 115k power any one got any tips on what i should focus on?

How do you level up the limit breakers?

How did you farm the highest tier of microcube to uncap cloud sword at lvl70? The only place it shows for me is on quest with 96k power....

I do a lot farm, and now my account is level 17... Am i doin something wrong? Cause my max pwr just 34k... Pls help im new Here

On crisis I always made it to the last boss but he beats Me every time

How do you feel about sigil boost on weapons being sigil specific? I'm kind of annoyed by it tbh

Sitting at 120,000 lol but still no level 50+

Another octo video this must be an alternative reality

Good

Where do you get the free umbrella?

Lmao 75k that's it im already at 120k do crisis dungeons and upgrade your 3 mains weapons and materia make sure you them leveled up and statstreams

You don't do exp? If you get metal cactaurs you get well over 100k xp for 3x stamina. Nothing else comes close to that level of xp. And the character stream has major stat boosts locked behind level

Love FF7 but I’m not into the mobile game mechanics.

I wonder if I should delete my current account? I used all the gems for weapons, tried to level all the characters at once, and am stuck at 18k power but can't beat 11k power enemies.

Wow dude i was trying to get upgrades smh >.

I get most everything you are talking about but man i dont know how you beat stuff at higher levels. Some of the battles are super hard

Have you figured out how to get to 55 yet? I can’t find it anywhere

your power is smoll

You haven't changed a bit from khux

Can you do a video on materia? It took me a while to figure out how to get a 5 star.

Does The Cactuar Spawn on Premium Quests?

I didnt ask for how to's I want a shortcut Octo ;)

this still viable?

Which story chapter gives debrave? Is it in a chest or a completion reward?

question, did you get s-rank when you're doing the rec. power 90k+ stage, with that 75k team? because from what i get, i'd rather not cleaering a stage with B rank because of less drop we get

I just don't understand how you have so many copies of Murasame as F2P. Like you still have 20k blue crystals what?

How to get clouds wallpaper?

I am at 85000 power level

How do u unlock summon quests

Funny meat stick.... Stat stick is more like it
