@@LordOfGrabs There's an area where you can get AP really fast. Probably take maybe 30-45 minutes to max a magic focus materia. You get a little less than 1000 ap per round if you have it in the choco bangle attached to an ap up materia. That was a great video. I can never time the perfect blocks right on normal enemies. No way I'd be able to do it against sephi.
@@LordOfGrabs It's at the bottom of the gongaga region there's an abandoned building that has a fast travel spot for finding a bunch of treasure chests. There's 4 enemy groups (3 inside the building and one right outside) that you can beat really quick with a magnify ice combo. Set up cloud with stagger recovery in his weapon and maybe a mp absorb-ice combo and you should regain all your mp after every blizzaga. Then just save and load after beating the 4 groups to immediately respawn them. I mastered everything there pretty quickly. If you want a more detailed description primaliquid has a guide on it.
Solid play! Out of interest, is there any reason you didn't use Arcane Ward for the spells? I'm at this challenge now so be good to know if its worth using time/ATB on, for this particular build.
Imma be honest, I'm a bad Aerith player HAHAHA so I always forget to pop wards I didn't use it here because I kinda did this build run in 1 take and didn't rerun it since it would seem fake or not genuine at all if I reset the run (dunno if I explained it properly).. But you definitely should be always using arcane ward whenever possible especially on this build!
You can do this fight faster if you just spec into Aerith's damage specifically. I beat this fight in 6:16 without the Phoenix 1 cycle. Also Odin's weak to fire. If you want to one cycle him, get him pressured with that first before attacking with Tifa. And before casting Aeriths spells, plop an arcane ward down so they double. You basically hit 2 15k-20k shots back to back. Shreds their health bars.
It does! The Zansetsuken mechanic only charges if Odin hits you more than you hit him. So if you counter him for a 1 to 1 hit, you'll break even on his charges. The counter is the only way I managed to beat him solo
That’s pitiful for all the time he put into this trash game. I beat those bums in 45 seconds maybe less. 99,999 damage from every character, 1 hit pressures and 2 hit staggers. Absolutely demolished. None of these challenges have been remotely challenging. Games completely a flop in all ways possible. This dude has all that time and I dominated every challenge, every mini game, all world intel and crushed the garbage chapter 14, 31 hours. I’m just that good compared to you weak ass gamers
basically just building ATB with prime mode heavy attacks, then spamming braver's multiple times which also builds atb for tifa and aerith, and aerith just explodes bosses with spells, tifa will build stagger guage if the situation allows it
Confused how you had Weapon Ability ATB Recovery on Sleek Saber twice since it only has one. Also Kaiser Knuckels had an extra materia link. I guess I'm missing something,
@@Mijin_Gakure It happens, happened to me too, once you get a weapon that you like and are comfortable with you kinda forget that weapon levels are a thing LOL
@@LordOfGrabs Looks like he does have an entry in Enemy Intel, so you would need to Assess him. I just beat this crap finally, and I never want to do that crap again. So glad Assessing ALL enemies is not required for Platinum.
@@MichaelThacker-wt3fv Genji gloves, Stagger from Tifa + the materia combination, Genji Gloves removes the 9999 damage limit, Stagger multiplies damage and with Aeriths high mag attack + materia and extra fire damage from weapon upgrade the damage skyrocketed to 61.8k
Yep! *edit* CORRECTION: I just checked and apparently I finished all the challenges first before finishing the final chapter so technically I did not get all the manuscripots, my bad
One of the problems with this setup is that you need to have the manuscripts for your weapons the other stuff you can get without replaying the game on hard mode much like the genji gloved you just have to warp over and beat the bosses in each area. But the manuscripts you have to play the story.
Multiple Fire materias so I can add more effects to fire they all stack! So first Fire is for elemental resist, second is for higher damage, third is for swiftcasting! I dunno if we can stack 2 magic focus on a single element yet..
My problem is that the staf you are using on aerith for me only got 4 materia slots. Do i have to play all chapters on hard mode to unlock the other 4?
@@LordOfGrabsok so i cleared all chapters on hard Mode, did all side quests and even aeriths legendery challenge at chadley but still missing 5 manuscripts for her. Nr 7 and 10-14. What did i do wrong?
It does. I am trying it out and Aerith might be a glasscannon herself, but cloud and Tifa are also pretty weak defensewise. Before this I was trying it with Cloud Barret and Yuffie and I was getting to Sephy at least with Barret being tanky. Need to practice this
I find it funny so many people are piggybacking off the dude who put a video out doing this in 4:30, like cmon, you think we all haven’t seen the original video? 😂😂😂😂
Could have finished WAY faster if Aerith didn't get turned into a frog..... Ribbit
Anyway I hope you guys enjoy this build!
How’s you get all the different elemental/magnify materia?
Holy shit taking out Phoenix before he revived him is GANGSTER AF
good to see people beating this without doing Yuffies moggle ATB dance
Aerith with no wards is a huge flex
That was a great run!! Thanks for sharing the build with us
Holyshit 61K damage, GG
Dude Aerith just said BEGONE to Gilgamesh. Forget Cloud, SHEs the one he should have been worried about lol. Damn
61k with a Lv 3 Magic focus?
Now i'm really curious to see a Firaga with a Lv 5 materia
I am also curious but the grind is too much haha

Damn dude, this is how I wish i play the game lol
Im surprised no Synergy mayeria was used with Aerith. It looked like she was dishing out spells the whole time
Wait did i miss something, you can get a second magic focus?
What the hell is "Merciless Firaga"? Just the instant death version of Firaga?
It's Firaga! But he casts it multiple times haha

Wait there wait how did you get 3 magnify materia
1 from Cait Sith, another from chapter 12 side quest, and 3rd is from Brutal Challenge in simulator
You have to do the 3rd hardest combat simulator for it. Unlocked after the secret boss
Ur fuking goated lol I hate using Aerith but damn she’s so strong 💪🏻

PL?

My ceremonial staff have only 4 slots, but i have lvl 8 army
Anybody know the name of the music?
SHES THE GOAT
I love this video, but i hate using thisbbuild personally.
Why does my ceremonial staff have 4 materia?
you have to max your weapon levels to get max slots for all weapons, time to grind those manuscripts!
I see. I'm trying to follow the video as best I can. What exactly is it causing that much damage with Aerith?

Genji ring is easily the best accessory for damage.
Holy shit dude u fucking monster
No no, aerith is the monster
@@LordOfGrabs 😂 I’ll give it a try later today
Did they nerf something in the latest patch?
Doing the exact same build with Cloud, I only hit 459 Attack and 319 Magic
did you get all folios in hard mode and fully unlock your weapons potential at level 10?
Just to clarify, this is post-hard mode right? After getting all hard manuscripts and etc?
Yep! *edit*
CORRECTION: I just checked and apparently I finished all the challenges first before finishing the final chapter so technically I did not get all the manuscripots, my bad
No wonder why Sephiroth wanted her dead so bad. Girl would've whooped his ass into a different Final Fantasy game
trudat (assuming aerith can finish casting in time LOL)
I didn’t know you can go beyond 9999 😢
Genji Gloves accessory does that!
Cheers
you need to complete legendary first? Because Cloud doesn't have 2 weapon ability ATB recovery and Aerith staff's only have 4 materia slots, not 6
Have to max their folio/weapon level to max the slots
