Wow, impressive work. Great guide for those unlucky people. I don't have bandaged sword either but made do with Matt's weapon that has the same ability.
I'm ripping my hair out. Have 190K team, Sephiroth, Cloud, and Aerith. Everyone is above 7K hp. Kujas blade, bandaged sword, sun umbrella. Evrerytime Bahamut does some move I don't catch in time and kills one of my team. Ahhhhhhh Edit: I finally did it! Had to survive Megaflare twice, but got him. Going to be awhile before I attempt EX1 haha. Thanks for the tips!
Bahamut has a long charge time. It's equivalent to filling 2 summon bars. It's very useful for long fights only. Like Crash Battle or Very Hard Dungeons. It's not viable for regular fights.
I just cleared VH Bahamut without Tifa using Sephiroth with Flare Star with Nameless and Cloud's halloween weapon with Zidane's weapon and costume (155k power). I almost ran out of the quest timer and Mega Flare enrage timer. D:
I have the sun umbrella OB5 (one more and I'd have mid pot, but right now it's only low). If Aerith equips that though I'd have to ditch saving grace which also seems important. What would you recommend then if Sun umbrella is so good in this situation? It might be it's only good if you have OB6 or greater.
Ya sun umbrella is good at ob6 mostly that's why I used Tifa. Matt also has core defender I think it's called over bandage sword or red 13 has one as well
@@PayneBlade its sooooo stupid that that is off by default, why would they do that? its valuable information and its not like it takes any more processing power to put the little arrows there, nor is it a lot of unnecessary UI clutter which I would think would be the main reasons to have something like that turned off by default.
I haven't seen a guide mention Flare Star on Sephiroth, his Kuja sword ability - reduces MATK & PATK in one use. Combined with Bandage sword & good PDEF stat sticks, a lot of damage can be mitigated
It's cause people complain that we content creators use it. It's why you don't hear about it much but if you go back to the ff9 crossover event, we all talk about how OP it is
@@PayneBlade Ngl, I have all the 'OP' gear (albeit not OB) for this battle, but he's still pounding my arse raw. Keep failing the final DPs check leaving him at about 3% HP. Really annoying knowing I could have done it if I'd just min maxed attacks a tiny bit better. That said this is prob the most fun I've had playing the game
If you have the limited ff9 gear and weapons for Cloud and Tifa, this VH Bahamut is easy asf, the real struggle it's when you don't have them weapons, that's the real hardcore way.
Nah if u already had murasame ob6 or higher or maritime too it can deal higher dmg output than zidane sword ob4 without crit.For dps just use your strongest weapon to damage bahamut bec he didnt resisit any elemen dmg or non elem dmg.
Interesting setup and congrats for beating him👍. I wanted to use Tifa in this fight but didn't have her Leather Gloves (which is funny that i got that same weapon from the tickets after) so i went with Seph Kuja's spirit blade which is better imo since it's 1 cast for both debbufs. For offensive debbuf i used Cloud's Hardedge and manawards to help buffing me before Megaflare. Aerith although i have her Sun Umbrella it's only at ob4 so her cast is low potency, so instead i slap her with 1 mana breach, For Aerith i went with off-hand Chocobo staff for the 2 tier MAG Dfe up i know it's single target which in my mind is a alot better than Mythril Rod at ob0 and Fairy Tale. This fight being a dps race, it requires your full attention, and i would say is a skill based fight for f2p, needing to constantly switching characters back and forth, it's consuming... But it feels good when u manage to do it specially as F2P. Also i should mention having your party with high MAG Def (around 130) it will be easier to survive Megaflare. Hoping this video helps folks beating the KING Bahamut.
damn I made this fight soooo much harder than it needed to be. I kept dying to the divebomb after the stream phase because I didnt realize it was physical >.< I was debuffing mag with Tiger Fangs and buffing mag def with Bandaged Sword but it was still killing me until I realized it was physical, put on the Leather Gloves too and cleared it first attempt.
Do I understand correctly that Tifa is in the group mainly for the PATK and MATK debuffs? So if I have Kuja's Spirit Blade on Sephiroth, could I use that as an alternative? And if I have, for example, Bandaged Sword and Sun Umbrella, which weapon combinations should I use? With Aerith I now have to decide between Fairy Tail for AoE healing, Sun Umbrella for AoE debuff and Mythril Rod for AoE buffs - which, as I understand it, are all essential... Or is Aerith's Mythril Rod no longer necessary if I give Cloud the Bandaged Sword? This also asks me the question: My Zidane's Sword is OB0, which means, for example, that my Murasame also gives OB3 more stats. Should I still take Zidane's Sword because the attack offers a higher damage value? Unfortunately, I don't have the Zidane outfit, so my best outfit for Cloud is also the one for Murasama, if that plays a role in the decision.
Tifa there for debuffing matk and patk as well pdef down and mdef down. As for aerith use sun umbrella and fairytale and then u can use sephiroth with Kuja instead. Cloud should have Zidane and bandage. Those are the optimal setups for vh. Ex1 having a physical Def up is great so u can give ur seph a torn wings if you have it to help with divebomb
Haven't tried VH yet but did normal 1st try and hard on auto after 2 tries and got a victory like half a second away from megaflare. I dont know how to feel about this content : Boss is cool and challenging, plus I like the free weapons. Best thing about this is that there are no ele resistances so you can really fight him with anyone/anything thats strong enough and you dont need to build around a single element. But I dont like how this is yet another DPS race and the summon doesnt seem to be very powerful (given cast time and only non-ele magic) over most pure damaging Limit breaks maxed (cause by the time you have all Bahamut summon nodes unlocked you should probably have enough resources to level up your Limit Break to 9 at least,maybe even 11).
This boss can be quite dangerous if you have to much dps somehow i managed for him that his first megaflare was the one when he buffs himself magic and physical atk and he one shoted me fully buffed/debuffed like wtf...
Nice guide without the two key weapons. Unfortunately I have zero AoE buffs so will have to wait til either the Mithril Rod or Bandaged sword drops for me. Essentially this fight required 3/4 buffs (opponent damage debuff, opponent defense debuff and self defense buff) tough for F2P to have on 3 characters and still have enough DPS. But should be doable eventually. All you need is a 5* zero OB for some of those.
i just went full dps instead of trying to tank his mega flare lmao . if you have the same setup as me , i just barely made it before he murdered me . for ex sadly , you need team buffer or RIP
Had a really hard time on this since I do auto with interference by me. Cloud would never to the sigal break and when you took him over suddenly others will wait until almost full to do theirs. Had to manual for that part after several tries to know the pattern to know when to go manual than got it with flying colors. Thanks for the guild.
I am worried that the context-dependent strategies emerging in this app are going to micrage VII:R games closer to the Dark Souls/Armored Core dependency-leading strats....which is completely againstn that FF stood for-- story.
I cant do hard at 170k let alone VH. I seem to be very useless at this game. Im a little over 170k. Ive bandaged sword at 1 star red. But i go down so easy. 😢 At 220k n still go down on first megaflare.

Congrats on finishing!
It's a good feeling! I almost have his growth stream unlocked. Can't wait to use him!

It's not viable for regular fights.
@@akinamori1615 Also needing to fill out his Stream will help a lot cause barebones he is very underwhelming.
@wiseguise5960 Well you're in luck, Co-Op Bahamut coming so farm shards there.
@@akinamori1615 Yea I saw the in game notice earlier today. Glad I didn't do too much grinding on him.
I just cleared VH Bahamut without Tifa using Sephiroth with Flare Star with Nameless and Cloud's halloween weapon with Zidane's weapon and costume (155k power). I almost ran out of the quest timer and Mega Flare enrage timer. D:
I did with Sepphy Edged WIngs + Kuja Sword, Aerith Sun Umbrella + Mythril Staff, Matt Prime Number + Core Defender + 2nd Limit.
nice setup!
I have the sun umbrella OB5 (one more and I'd have mid pot, but right now it's only low). If Aerith equips that though I'd have to ditch saving grace which also seems important. What would you recommend then if Sun umbrella is so good in this situation? It might be it's only good if you have OB6 or greater.
You don't need Saving Grace if you use Bandage Sword. Matt also has a weapon that does the same thing.
Ya sun umbrella is good at ob6 mostly that's why I used Tifa. Matt also has core defender I think it's called over bandage sword or red 13 has one as well
I have Umbrella, but I just used Barret's phys def weapon to survive divebomb and killed before Megaflare. damage is super tight doing that.
Noob question...but why my debuff dont have arrows down...should i stacked it? Or certain upgrade on the weapon / materia? Thanks
go to settings and u can turn that feature on. very important one to have.
@@PayneBlade ahh found it...thanks
@@PayneBlade its sooooo stupid that that is off by default, why would they do that? its valuable information and its not like it takes any more processing power to put the little arrows there, nor is it a lot of unnecessary UI clutter which I would think would be the main reasons to have something like that turned off by default.
@SpydersByte agreed it's such dumb feature in a setting

My pleasure bro!
If you have the limited ff9 gear and weapons for Cloud and Tifa, this VH Bahamut is easy asf, the real struggle it's when you don't have them weapons, that's the real hardcore way.
are those weapons not gonna be added in the wishlist?
Nah if u already had murasame ob6 or higher or maritime too it can deal higher dmg output than zidane sword ob4 without crit.For dps just use your strongest weapon to damage bahamut bec he didnt resisit any elemen dmg or non elem dmg.
@@agidnis1234 yes limited weapons u cant wishlist or use voucher to exchange them.

Goddamnnn this guy too goot😮

Thanks for the help there, I managed to down Bahamut thanks to your video 🎉
Glad I could help!

Great video as aways, but it's need a bit of luck, here the second megaflare destroy everything =(
Don't push the 2nd mega flare into the red stage where he does dark aura

Thanks, this really helped me beating EX1. Now all I have to do is collect Bahamut's Memory and I'll have the summon complete. Thank you again.

it's a fun battle but yea it's pretty much debuff and dps race

Same!
Love your content ❤
But no matter what you say i still like Chrono cross more than Chrono trigger 😂 Soundtrack is just killing me... softly...
Lol never!
Yeah, Chrono Cross is a WAY better game.
I make the 200k with same build without murasame ( take the haloween cloud weapon for megaflare )
Do you have to beat VH to start his summon stream? It says unbound for me in his growth-summon even though I’ve beat hard. Not VH yet.
Ya he only has one move and to unlock the stream u gotta beat VH

Lol it's a tough fight
If you have kuja sword it's more easier
M V P! 🏆 🏆 🏆
I cant win with 230k, need to try with your guide
Had a really hard time on this since I do auto with interference by me. Cloud would never to the sigal break and when you took him over suddenly others will wait until almost full to do theirs. Had to manual for that part after several tries to know the pattern to know when to go manual than got it with flying colors. Thanks for the guild.
I didnt even know you could survive the Megaflare. I killed him before he did the first one.
Haha yea different strat
I do have sun umbrella and bandaged sword....zidane sword however.....😂
I am worried that the context-dependent strategies emerging in this app are going to micrage VII:R games closer to the Dark Souls/Armored Core dependency-leading strats....which is completely againstn that FF stood for-- story.
clean
I cant do hard at 170k let alone VH. I seem to be very useless at this game. Im a little over 170k. Ive bandaged sword at 1 star red. But i go down so easy. 😢
At 220k n still go down on first megaflare.
So can you log into my account and do it for me
lol... no fun in that!
@PayneBlade 37 attempts later....I had issues with manual mode auto casting too...have you seen that?
@kyleposton4864 it's so bad now yes
