6:30 Build - Rune Blade, Cetran Bracer, Genji Gloves - Fire and Ice + Magic Focus, Fire + Swiftcast, Fire + MP Absorption, Fire + HP Absorption, Fire + Elemental (armor), First Strike, ATB Boost, Magic Up, Enemy Skill, Phoenix - ATB Charge Rate Up, Improved Punisher, Magic Attack Power +20, Full-Power Magic Full strategy in the description. - You'll be in Prime Mode most of the time because you need Berserk 2 and auto-parries. - Block magic/ranged/stomp/breath attacks in Operator Mode (or dodge). - You can use Counterstance for those attacks, but it costs 1 ATB and I don't think it's worth. - Sonic Boom buffs last a lot less than Faith/Bravery, so you may have to re-cast it. - Strong attacks are "tanky" (Cloud won't be interrupted unless the enemy is big, like Kujata), fill a lot of ATB, but don't pressure much. Light attacks don't fill much ATB but pressure more. - Casting Firaga is even more "tanky", and most of attacks cannot interrupt Cloud. - Another "tanky" move is Prime Mode parry. Cloud gets hit but will not get knocked back while he counters. Even better, if you perfect-parry (see "immune") Cloud gets lots of i-frames. - Get used to how much ATB each attack fills and how strong attacks work. For example, if you press and hold attack right after a parry or a command (like a spell), Cloud will immediately start with a strong attack without the usual "light slash". This is useful because a full strong attacks combo + two strong attacks exactly fill Cloud's ATB (see the combo on Titan after I stun him). I rely a lot on "tanky" moves. Example: I cast Firaga, tank an attack, and then heal right after thanks to HP Absorption. Another trick is to exploit perfect parry i-frames. For example, you may want to perfect parry Odin when Alexander uses Earth Tremor or Tracking Beam rather than having to block/dodge, because i-frames last for quite a lot (if you don't press any button after the parry). However, this is not something you can always do, because maybe Odin is not attacking at that moment. You can also just auto-parry and tank the damage (Cloud won't be knocked back). This can be a good choice when you don't have time to switch to Operator Mode and block, but check your HP first. I also tried another build where I paired HP Absorption with Enemy Skill and replaced Fire with Precision Defense Focus. It helps against Gilgamesh and Sephiroth, but makes Bahamut + Titan slower (you can't be very aggressive and tank with Firaga).
@@mackniffy are you fully buffed with Faith and Berserk 2? Each gives approximately 25% more damage. Is your build the same? Same weapon level and stats?
Ahaha I know right, I had the same reaction :D I just knocked him out to the left, he went off camera. You can see him being thrown away if you pay close attention or slow down the video.
