  • Thanks to Square Enix for a copy of Final Fantasy XVI!
    The 16th standalone entry in the legendary Final Fantasy series marks a darker turn for the RPG franchise, with a complex tale of revenge, power struggles and unavoidable tragedy.
    Final Fantasy XVI reimagines the series' iconic summons as Eikons. These deadly creatures are housed within Dominants, men and women who inherit their immense power at birth - whether they like it or not.
    Eikons are the most powerful beings in Valisthea, a land where six powerful realms have emerged thanks to the power of the Mothercrystals. The aether provided by these towering mountains of crystal powers the magicks that have allowed these nations to thrive for many years - but now a mysterious Blight threatens to disrupt their uneasy alliance.
    Play as Clive Rosfield, First Shield of Rosaria and guardian of his younger brother Joshua, the Dominant of the Eikon Phoenix, in this epic action RPG from a team of Final Fantasy veterans.

    Writing up a text version here since its a lot to take in all at once.
    First up charge a Zantetsuken to lv 5. I typically do this through Odin blade parrys or perfect dodges. Between hitting those and doing an occasional Raging Fist you should have no issue working the enemy down to the 25% stagger remaining.
    Once they're at that point, Bahamut Mega Flare lv 4 and then Raging Fist to initiate the stagger.
    Swap and cast Diamond Dust for instant 1.5x multiplier, pop LB, Judgement Bolt.
    Swap to Odin and release Zantetsuken, then disable LB. Throw down Lightning Rod and use Dancing Steel. LB again and your 2nd Lv5 Zantetsuken.
    Swap to Bahamut and Gigaflare to bring it on home.

      THANK YOU FOR THIS! Knew most of this from the tooltips from the game but there were some "hidden mechanics" that I had not quite figure out yet, that you explained perfectly! Thank you!

  • @Wezzybman
    @Wezzybman Рік тому +5

    You can use shiva's dodge ability to freeze enemies (and their stagger bar) during a stagger combo. that freeze combined with rift slip is very powerful and can lead to 1M+ damage.
    Edit: Just realized you were level 47 lol. i guess I should watch the video before commenting. the technique above is still very powerful though!
    The tips on what is best for tick damage, etc is very useful too, thanks! Lastly, flames of rebirth is useful for getting the uptime back on diamond dust/megaflare to get a second one out :)

    This is how I played until FF mode where the stagger bar is increased so burning off damage abilities and not getting the perfect stagger combo every time actually makes the fights faster. Also could never stand Bahamut’s feat lol. Id rather be hitting than taunting for dodges until lvl 4

    This is the best in my opinion. Before NG+FF I was still doing 250k with just Gotterdamerung and not even any augement accessories. Can’t imagine what I’ll do with ultima weapon, level 100, 10% genji glove. Best stagger guide. Rest of the other videos don’t do as much damage and is too clunky, cheers.

    Quick tip you can charge your blade like the fire charge thing during a attack or something and then just hit circle to pull out the blade and do level 5 zah after the animation is over so you don’t have to attack and then do ur

  • @Neroforevelyn
    @Neroforevelyn Рік тому +4

    Hey Cowboy, if you have the regular attack charged before turning your weapon to Odin's blade that charge carries over which would give you a little bit of time from that very first Zantet since there is a wait there and it's such minimal damage from a Odin's blade strike.

    Dude!🎉 you drop a sick stagger guide! Hell ya some of the other YT’ers drop “guides” for ff16 and they combo like 30k at lvl 40, and you hit 200k, just goes to show the quality of CB- its crazy because most of the other ff16 abilities guides on YT are all pretty trash except this one, of course it comes from cowboy! Hell ya. Your elden ring walk through were epic, looking forward to watching your ff16 and ER DLC when it drops. 🤙🤙

    This is a solid loadout for a single chunga/hunt/boss. Not so great for clearing crowds tho. Wish a second loadout option was available to quickly swap them out depending on your points of progress throughout the game. Phenomenal game nonetheless and I'm on NG atm. Also, stuck at 67/68 for the Here be Rosfields trophy and going insane trying to find the last location from my first playthrough . Have all the obelisks discovered and completed every hunt and sidequests.
