@AnimaLepton
Ай бұрын
Disorder is super good in general - they nerfed Focused Strike, but they kept Disorder and Mug as ATB refund options. If you successfully hit an enemy with it, you get a big chunk of ATB refunded and can keep using more commands. It was good in Remake, but in Remake you had to pair it with ATB Assist or Skill Master to get the most out of it, or Intergrade's version of Synergy. In this game you can do that + have the Plasma Discharge builds to spam it, although IIRC Yuffie Mug is superior. HP MP Swap is the other big boost here, since lower HP boosts how quickly you gain Limit Gauge, which is a big part of why you see so much Limit spam in this video. Damage + s + a decent amount of pressure all in one.That's why all the Plasma Discharge builds spam it in this game. But obviously low HP is insanely dangerous if you can't dodge or perfect guard all the enemies abilities consistently, and one slip up practically translates to death.

For people who don't have the reaction to do this in a similiar way, here's a solid easy tactic for normal: - Skills / equip: limit charge on block / stagger, gi acc with limit on block, sword with limit charge bonus or sword with +50 defense - Materia: Steadfast block / hp / chakra / healing / itemizer - Phase 1: constantly block, dodge heavy attacks, wait for limit meter to fill and activate it as soon as he is near and stands still - Phase 2 exactly the same, keep Rufus locked on, ignore the dog, dodge heavy attacks, wait for limiter and activate it, keep HP >50% to survive the heavy combo attack It takes maybe 2 limits each phase to kill him. For fine tuning wear maybe the "limit level +1" accessoire instead for more limit dmg and wear the sword with +50 defense, accessoire with focus on defense. Barrier / Protect buff is also quite nice for survival but wasn't necessary.

For everyone struggling with him: Triple Slash and Braver are your friends (and Focused Thrust especially on the dog). Braver instantly staggers him when you hit him during Reload and Triple Slash 1. separates him from the dog and 2. interrupts pretty much all of his attacks. Focused Thrust is useful for obvious reasons, but it also pressures the dog instantly.

Guarding already generates some limit gauge, perfect guards generate even more. But the real kicker is the hp/mp swap materia equipped. Being near death (even though his hp was full, any hit would've been defeat) ramps up limit generation. Combine the options and you a limit every few perfect guards essentially
@TmoTheOneАй бұрын
Huh? Why do you get so much limit 😂 Is it cause of the hp/mp swap or is this cause of difficulty? 4:43 you did a limit break and got full limit break cause of immunity frames but normally this shoudn't be that effective to fill a full bar. Not even close so i would guess the hp/mp materia plays a big part in that since the damage would normally kill you multiple times even if this was on easy. Great fight! Learned something new 🔥

Because he's countering Rufus's attacks. Notice he doesn't use ANY basic attacks unless Rufus is Staggered. Whenever Rufus is using an ability marked on the screen (Such as "Up in Smoke" or "Reload"), if you hit him during that time with an ability attack (Braver, Triple Slash, etc), you'll pressure him. If you just run at Rufus and slash at him, he'll counter you. You have to play the defensive game and wait for an opening.

Disorder is super good in general - they nerfed Focused Strike, but they kept Disorder and Mug as ATB refund options. If you successfully hit an enemy with it, you get a big chunk of ATB refunded and can keep using more commands. It was good in Remake, but in Remake you had to pair it with ATB Assist or Skill Master to get the most out of it, or Intergrade's version of Synergy. In this game you can do that + have the Plasma Discharge builds to spam it, although IIRC Yuffie Mug is superior. HP MP Swap is the other big boost here, since lower HP boosts how quickly you gain Limit Gauge, which is a big part of why you see so much Limit spam in this video. Damage + s + a decent amount of pressure all in one.That's why all the Plasma Discharge builds spam it in this game. But obviously low HP is insanely dangerous if you can't dodge or perfect guard all the enemies abilities consistently, and one slip up practically translates to death.

i think the key to this fight is knowing how much you can attack him after pressuring with a regular attack, pressuring with an ability makes staggering easier but there are plenty of times where its not easy/if you use a regular attack instead its hard to know when hes gonna blast at you again exactly, but it seems youve mastered it, well done awesome fight

For people who don't have the reaction to do this in a similiar way, here's a solid easy tactic for normal: - Skills / equip: limit charge on block / stagger, gi acc with limit on block, sword with limit charge bonus or sword with +50 defense - Materia: Steadfast block / hp / chakra / healing / itemizer - Phase 1: constantly block, dodge heavy attacks, wait for limit meter to fill and activate it as soon as he is near and stands still - Phase 2 exactly the same, keep Rufus locked on, ignore the dog, dodge heavy attacks, wait for limiter and activate it, keep HP >50% to survive the heavy combo attack It takes maybe 2 limits each phase to kill him. For fine tuning wear maybe the "limit level +1" accessoire instead for more limit dmg and wear the sword with +50 defense, accessoire with focus on defense. Barrier / Protect buff is also quite nice for survival but wasn't necessary.

How on earth do you get a limit break instantly after a limit break. I'm missing something......🤔
2:53 "Don't even need em." ~Cloud Strife
So we can expect a 3rd Rufus fight now. In the return to Midgar maybe? Or possibly the Northern Crater in front of the weapons?
For everyone struggling with him: Triple Slash and Braver are your friends (and Focused Thrust especially on the dog). Braver instantly staggers him when you hit him during Reload and Triple Slash 1. separates him from the dog and 2. interrupts pretty much all of his attacks. Focused Thrust is useful for obvious reasons, but it also pressures the dog instantly.
The HP MP materia is so awesome in this game because blocking still treats it like you took full damage and just skyrockets your limit gauge.

@craigfunk3453

Guarding already generates some limit gauge, perfect guards generate even more. But the real kicker is the hp/mp swap materia equipped. Being near death (even though his hp was full, any hit would've been defeat) ramps up limit generation. Combine the options and you a limit every few perfect guards essentially
Huh? Why do you get so much limit 😂 Is it cause of the hp/mp swap or is this cause of difficulty? 4:43 you did a limit break and got full limit break cause of immunity frames but normally this shoudn't be that effective to fill a full bar. Not even close so i would guess the hp/mp materia plays a big part in that since the damage would normally kill you multiple times even if this was on easy. Great fight! Learned something new 🔥

Because he's countering Rufus's attacks. Notice he doesn't use ANY basic attacks unless Rufus is Staggered. Whenever Rufus is using an ability marked on the screen (Such as "Up in Smoke" or "Reload"), if you hit him during that time with an ability attack (Braver, Triple Slash, etc), you'll pressure him. If you just run at Rufus and slash at him, he'll counter you. You have to play the defensive game and wait for an opening.
