As for strategy: 1) Glenn’s weapon is auto include in his already established water build, putting Ultimatic in the back row, and replacing Maritime or Killer Hornet we previously used in the back row. 2) Sephiroth requires a lot more investment to build, but is doable to do so, as we are running out of weapons to min/max everyone. Like I said previously, the main issue that will dictate what we will be using is the mechanics of the boss (Ramuh or whatever else comes after in the tower upgrades). Like previously, I doubt we will be spamming DPS and that’s it, so we will need some sort of support. Weapons like those put the support on the DPS build, without sacrificing DPS. As such, this can potentially allow for full DPS approach, but I highly doubt it, as so far, each time they do that, they are forcing you to include different mechanics to tackle the fight (protective buffs, Esuna, breaking boss’s power, etc). Therefore, I look at it from a very simpler perspective: get the gear, since the gear is page one and it does the trick as is, and whatever copies drop it’s fine. Once the weapons come to the main circulation, IF you need them, wishlist/use tickets. No need to pull further than page 1 here, unless one simply wants to.
Ayoooooo!!! Haven't checked my ranking yet, last time I was 9th! Surely let's collab! I've some ideas I actually want to run by you and some other top players!
Well, to be honest, Whiskers is better suited as a back row weapon for Glenn. See, the issue with Glenn is that his main weapon is buffing the party, so all the weapons we use for patk are using 1/2 of their stats. As such, to reach 7, we ideally want 2 weapons instead of 3, to fit Enemy Launch and Ultimatic, as Water ATK weapons have crap stats for physical units (and Glenn is our primary DPS so we need his stats to be high). So, assuming we include Glenn’s new sword, we need another park water weapon. That would have to be Black Whiskers as it is a 54 (62) weapon, to max his patk. Therefore, we now replace its function by spreading it between Glenn’s Axe and Sephiroth’s Sword if we go for full physical DPS, or Tifa’s Feathered Gloves if we go for a Support or hybrid team. Lastly, Zack, if we use him, needs to be support and Tifa or Red is better at it, because Zack does not have an actual Water weapon to hit afterwards and Materia doesn’t cut it. Hence why, Red with Silver Collar or Tifa with Feathered is a better suited unit as support here. The alternative approach if we need a healer, by the way, is to have Sephiroth, Glenn, Cloud team, where Seph and Glenn act as DPS and two halves of Support and Cloud becomes and offensive Healer with Maritime, Crystal Gloves and Grand Gloves on back row to support both functions. But in any case, in all those instances, Black Whiskers will end up being on the back row ;)
We also have silver collar and green megaphone for water resistant down if we want to use black whiskers as a sub weapon for Glenn so this banner is perfectly skippable
@@ozumitsu absolutely agree. Not only we have those, but in contrast to Sephiroth, who has not a suitable weapon for second slot if we go this approach (Military Sword is mid and we waste an r ability slot and Shinra Blade is a mediocre stat stick), Cait Sith with the similar weapon has Marching Horn to buff Glenn. Marching Horn also has buff extension, so paired with his buff gear he can land buffs and debuffs that last.
For me I’m skipping cuz I have black whisker and silver collar. I mean certainly Seph’s weapon is better than both those weapons because of the extra damage, but I’m not a whale who can min/max everything. I’ll definitely add both to wishlist though.
Glenn's weapon complements his LB weapon. Giving the Gap of PAtK stat for his Offhand. I would go for Cloud for another party member so he can Main or Offhand his LB weapon, further buffing PATK of the team. Since he already has Maritime. Last member would be Red and his recent collar that uses 3 ATB to bring down water Resist. And can Main Hand his Regen to heal team. For alternate team would be: Glenn, Seph, and Matt. Glenn: Same as above Seph: New Ice Weapon any physical R offhand Matt: Centipede(Pdef buff) Brambles(PATK buff)
ramuh boosts his pdef so probably it might be better to run magic team for him . but we will see if they change it for ex2 or not. oh wow , i did not even pay attention to glenns weapon lol . its basically just feathered gloves , it will make him so busted if you have his LB weapon
Sir, in the end - did you pull? I admit i decided to go only for Sephs costume (Its god horrendous visually but its his like second Arcanum). Got it on 5 pulls, very very lucky. Also got 3 copies of Glenns weapon and 1 copy of Seph`s. Enough for me.
@@pliyo Best strategy i have heard friend - its my intention as well, will just get summer costumes as - Waifus....and Tifa is getting a new one (they know how to get money from people). Really interested to see how would Vincent fit as DPS vs Cloud, Zack, Seph, Glenn, Tifa. If it is more of the same with different skin will probably skip him. But if they introduce a unique new mechanic for him - then might reconsider.
Ah so I was thinking that these weapons help maximise the DMG that Leviathan will produce, so we can prepare for Ramuh. It’s kinda both depending on the angle, does that makes sense?
He is always getting the queerest outfits, which I have mixed feeling about haha (still dying with the choker lol), the problem that I see is that then they slap the “Shrina” logo on the back, kinda defeating the purpose??

Hi bro. Congrats on your battle ranking. Maybe we should collab on any new incoming event
Ayoooooo!!! Haven't checked my ranking yet, last time I was 9th! Surely let's collab! I've some ideas I actually want to run by you and some other top players!
Yeah. Definitely the collab would be fun
Okay totally forgot that Black Whiskers exists (from Zack) so even more reasons to skip!!?? Unless you are a Seph main, of course!

Silver collar is what i would focus on. More imperil, more value

xD his flip phone on his back
AHHAHAHA I find that hilarious too in 2024

For alternate team would be:

Glenn: Same as above
Seph: New Ice Weapon any physical R offhand
Matt: Centipede(Pdef buff)
Brambles(PATK buff)
Then u a dead for good.Trust me this boss had 3 matk with 2 aoe and 1 single ( all high dmg ) and u didn't bring mdef buff that will wipe your team 😅
Yo awesome video bro
Thank you brooootherrr!! ♥️♥️
ramuh boosts his pdef so probably it might be better to run magic team for him . but we will see if they change it for ex2 or not. oh wow , i did not even pay attention to glenns weapon lol . its basically just feathered gloves , it will make him so busted if you have his LB weapon
Aaaaah!! Didn’t remember the PDEF part, thank you for reminding me! I knew Tifa was great for Water DMG but now this makes her THE GOAT! 💪🏼
Black Whiskers can easily replace that.
Omg brother!! Totally forgot about this one, thanks a lot for pointing that out.
Even more reasons to skip haha
This one can be main hand weapon, while whiskers are better as off-hand. Sith also has water down wep.
The only difference is Black Whisker is for the debuff not water dmg. Since Glenn and Seph have arcanums and actual water dmg on seph weapon
Cait sith also has one
Tifa will hit hard but not as much cause you can't lower Blitzrad's mdef. Seph and Glenn are the mvps here
Didn’t remember this! Thank you! Can’t wait to see how the fight is going to be!
WATER OPTIMUS PRIME HAS ARRIVED!!! Grampa ramuh is shakin my friend!!!!!!!! 👴🏼👴🏼👴🏼👴🏼⚡⚡
OPTIMUS BAZOOOKAS!!! hahahaha are you pulling?? I'm 1000% skipping!
@@pliyo SAME BRODA! no need this, i'm waitin for the big delivery package!!!!! and you know what I meannnnnn 🔫🧛

You got it in 5 pulls?? That’s crazy good! Congrats, Damian! I didn’t pull, fully saving until Anniversary / Vincent 🙌🏼

The thumbnail says Leviathan, do you mean Ramuh?
Ah so I was thinking that these weapons help maximise the DMG that Leviathan will produce, so we can prepare for Ramuh. It’s kinda both depending on the angle, does that makes sense?
Funny how both interpretations are valid
He is always getting the queerest outfits, which I have mixed feeling about haha (still dying with the choker lol), the problem that I see is that then they slap the “Shrina” logo on the back, kinda defeating the purpose??
I noticed that too, he's like a thirst trap guy edition
The outfit is just plain ugly. Especially considering how many outfits in the main game actually exist in the Shinra arsenal they could use…
