He had about 35k health left, seeing as he survived my 31k nuke at the end. Trancendence with faith and stagger with my stats does about 3000 per hit which wouldn't get the job done. If I had been more careful, I could have had a skill master proc waiting for my firaga, then I could ATB Boost after and use another firaga. I would try for this but getting to Gilgamesh without Lightning/Wind materia is a mega pain in the ass lol

Oooo so since Gilgamesh pose is a bind skill it lets you perfect block with the maxed materia? Would that also work with crush grip on bahamut? Ooo I never tried cuz of the ! Next to spell name

Oh yes. It works with his crush grip, it works with Titan's sling, Gilgamesh Pose, and Sephiroth's skewer. Parrying is by far the easiest way to deal with crush grip and Gilgamesh Pose, they are very hard to dodge

It’s the fact that you need to get good at partying that I have issues with. I’ve lived as a dodge roller. It’s engrained into me.

You only need to get good at parrying on certain characters. Even then you can just build to eat the damage and not need to learn parry at all. But Aerith's dodge is super mega bad. The devs gave her extra special tools to avoid attacks so they gave her the shittiest dodge. Ward shift teleports her instantly to a ward, which can dodge almost anything. If she is casting inside the radiant ward she'll take zero damage from anything, of course casting isn't free so you need to plan those kinds of things and she can be interrupted even if she takes zero damage, but she becomes nearly impossible to interrupt when casting level 3 magic. The game has 7 characters, if you wanna play using a dodge style then I recommend the best dodgers: Red XIII, Tifa, and Cloud. Cait Sith has some incredible dodge potential with his moogle dismount and dodge n' dive attack. Yuffie has a decent dodge button and can activate her brumal form ability which has an ungodly amount of invincible frames and refunds the cost if you successfully dodge. But Barret and Aerith has terrible dodge buttons and you should try to avoid them.

Are you blocking with R1? I'm confused whether people do O to dodge/parry or R1 to perfect block

@aethertruck

3 ай бұрын

R1 blocks. Well timed blocks become perfect blocks, also known as parries. Normally the timing window for a perfect block is very small and it is very hard to do. If you equip precision defense focus materia, it makes that timing window bigger and perfect blocks become a little easier. I recommend all character to always equip precision defense focus materia. In remake, dodge (circle button) becomes "parry" if you equip the parry materia. That doesn't exist in rebirth. The benefit of a perfect block, beyond taking zero damage and building stagger, is elimination of blockstun and therefore near instant ability to act again. That makes it resemble a real parry, so that's just what I call it. Nothing else is rebirth is called parry.

@@aethertruck ty for the very detailed response! So is there any reason to dodge with circle? Perhaps only for unblockable attacks?

@aethertruck

3 ай бұрын

@@NoorKhanNY each character has a very different dodge animation. Aerith's dodge is by far the worst, so it's not very useful. It can dodge some unblockable attacks but she can find herself checkmated in certain situations by unblockable attacks because of how bad her dodge is. She does however have other options to avoid some unblockable attacks. Radiant ward makes her take 0 damage when casting, so she can sacrifice some mana and ATB inside the radiant ward by casting before taking damage. She may be interrupted by the attack but she won't take damage. If she casts a level 3 -aga spell, she will even have enough poise to ignore interrupts and can turn the enemy's unblockable attack into an opportunity. She can also teleport to a ward as a form of dodging. Once you figure out all of her unique options, it becomes obvious why her dodge is so bad: to encourage players to use her unique tools. All dodges have a very small amount of invincible frames, but it is almost never worth trying to use those invincible frames because the perfect block has at least quadruple the frames so it is MUCH easier to do. All characters have the same perfect block timing and the same benefits to perfect blocking. Red XIII has probably the best dodge in the game, but one of the core elements of his gameplay is vengeance mode. Vengeance mode requires Red XIII to block or perfect block to build meter, but he can reliably avoid many attacks with his dodges, so it's not the worst idea to neglect the precision defense focus materia (which makes perfect block easier) on him. I personally never take that materia off any character but the choice of dodge/block is still a meaningful one. Dodging with Tifa can be very easy, but dodging doesn't give ATB while perfect blocks and regular blocks do. Steadfast block materia makes blocking extremely worthwhile, some attacks can give an entire bar if you block them and you'll take minimal damage. However, blocking doesn't negate all of the effects of attacks, so it's worth learning the properties of attacks so you can make these judgements for yourself. Gilgamesh has multiple attacks that will give you a status effect if you don't at least block them. If you block them, they will never give a status effect so you can safely choose to block them. However, blocking them will give you a rune that Gilgamesh can trigger with booming swing. This can also be blocked but it is kinda fast and requires the player to be wary of it. Dodging these rune attacks is kindof risky as poor timing will get you hit with a random status effect like stop or frog, but you aren't locked to dodging or blocking. If you perfect block, you won't even get a rune. This is also slightly risky because if you are late to the block, you won't even get a basic block, you'll just get hit. Dodging and blocking each have a time and place and can be character dependent. Anyone can gain ATB by blocking a blockable attack. Tifa can dodge all day, but Aerith's dodge is very bad. Aerith has options to abuse her radiant ward to negate unblockable attacks, Red XIII might want to build vengeance so he will avoid dodging and block to build his meter, Barret has armor and is super resilient so he can often attack while being attacked without paying too much for it. Cait Sith is so small that some attacks may go over him, and blocking is a waste of time. Riding on his moogle, he has many options to dodge but blocking makes his moogle take damage and he can be punished severely if it dies while he's riding it. However, Cait Sith is capable of blocking while casting, meaning he can gamble on the life of his moogle over getting a cast out that no one else can. tldr; the dynamic of dodging/blocking/parrying is something you need to develop a sense for because each have different risks and benefits on different characters in different situations. But one thing I can say for sure, Aerith almost always has a better option than dodge (because her dodge is so bad)

Why does the Firaga do so much damage when he has all his barriers/mana shields up?

@un_known5895

Genji gloves accessory, it breaks the 9999 damage limit, and at a guess they have the following: enemy skill materia (gives 5% magic) magic+ materia Magic focus + fire materia (in linked weapon or armor slot) Faith buff uses Ceremonial staff (has highest magic attack in game and has weapon skills that can increase fire damage by 10%)

@aethertruck

It doesn't do much damage at all with his barriers and shields up. Sometimes when you attack him with an ATB skill when his genji shield is active, he will try to block the attack. The genji shield has its own health bar. You'll notice my first firaga removes all of his buffs because it destroys his shield, and does literally no damage. But afterward it does 45k because Genji gloves break damage limit 481 magic attack stat Faith buff active which gives 50% magic boost Trancendence buff active which gives 20% magic boost Fire materia linked to magic focus materia which boosts fire by 20% He is staggered He is weak to fire

I'll remove some materia to simulate weapon level 8 as well. Hopefully it will be a resource that allows you to get the clear under your own power 💪
