Quite helpful! My Lucia was weaker than yours, didn't have OB10 Aerith (OB6 instead), and my Tiger Claws were OB2. :P Tweaks that got me through: -Quakera on Aerith so she can assist with DPS during phases where he's debuffed -Megaflare on Aerith so, on final debuff phase, she can put out another ~200K damage combined with the other twos' limit breaks. Since his final meteor attack (called '???') fires off if you don't kill him during his stunned phase (or if you don't kill him with a limit break outside of it), I had to also re-Kamura up and lower his MATK after his second 'exhausted' phase, when his HP meter was at/less than the 'B' in his name. At MDEF+3 and MATK-3, in defense stance, his ??? attack dealt around 5K damage. ===== Also generally had to interrupt twice before each sigil phase (once with Tifa's Limit Break, once with Lucia's) while on Manual and controlling Tifa to stop bad use of ATB and to build up enough ATB on Aerith so we could finish off the sigils. Aerith's Ultimate Guard Stick was also handy for a spot heal before second sigil phase or during second 'physical meter' phase for topping off health: if you spam it ASAP before second sigil phase starts up, you can get the heal off right before you interrupt with Tifa or Lucia's limit breaks. If health's okay, it can be saved for the second 'physical attack meter' phase to help with his boosted damage there. One time I lost a character at start of second sigil due to the small AOE attack he does when it starts up. Another time I had Tifa left with 29 HP - which ain't 0!
These brutal tower fights are the most engaged I’ve been with the game since I beat all the ex fights 🎉🎉 glad to be able to fight some of these crashes I wasn’t quite strong enough for even if they’re a bit weaker 🎉
Hey all! I was sweating when I first tried this out thinking I was screwed since I didn't have Vincent 😆 Thankfully the new anniversary banners for Aerith and Tifa tied pretty well into making the battle manageable without him (or Earth Sephiroth too). Were you able to get through it? Thanks for stopping by and for all the support!
I can barely survive the 2nd Meteorite. I get wrecked at the first Sigil break because I don't have time to Heal before he does the AOE attack. All characters have 12k HP and 200+ MDEF. Oof
I've been trying, but my baha staff is OB3 so It is only low to high defense buff, and it's not giving as much magic attack all...same with the tifa gloves. I can crack 7k on Lucia, and her revolver is OB10, but it's just not enough damage. I have Vincent, but his LB weapon is only Ob3, if he was 6 I'd use him as my main DPS instead...
First real hard fight of the event. I had the.perfect team for it (tifa + vincent + matts at OB6+) and stilm took like 5-7 tries to learn the fight perfectly. When fightd requiere LB animation cancel and perfectly timed ult you know people are gonna have a hard time.
Yeah this fight wasn't exactly like the crash battle as I think he was a lot more tankier but the damage he was doing definitely felt crash tier. Tough one! Not looking forward to things like Blitzrad and Ramuh because my water setups suck lol
Any help... I am following this same strat but after the second meteor when he goes into sigil phase my Lucia and Tifa keep using Rock Blast and Dark Strike (wasting atb - on manual mode) and I then don't have enough to break sigil phase (get down to like 6), am I doing something wrong or do I need to change any settings???
I have everything in the video...except high overboost bahamut weapons, I think my gloves are OB1 and my rod is Ob3. Didn't have enough crystals to keep going and my luck was baaaad.
Summon bind doesn't increase character matk or patk stats. Your materia increases patk and matk, try crafting the ones that give you a percentage because flat stats on a materia are not good unless it's on PDEF or MDEF
I can't for the life of me beat stage 21. i have fire zack built out with aerith and Red, but Shiva just wipes the floor with me every time. I feel like I must be the only one, because I can't find any easy to follow guides...
I'd say search for guides for Shiva EX1 because it's a very similar fight. The weapons you get from Ifrit and Ifrit/Bahamut Summons quests are great sub-weapons for that battle because they have high ice resist. You'll need a weapon to decrease MATK as well (like red's junk collar, lucia's mad minute, etc) If you have Aerith's new Bahamut weapon you can actually time an AOE esuna silence to heal the silence as she uses it.
You need Red's stardust ray limit for her sigil phase. Hit it as soon as it starts and it takes off her tier 5 matk up straight away. OB6 junk collar and sleek collar. I also used Fire Mastery Seph with his radiant edge and just a fira blow mat which still deals significant damage with buffs/debuffs active. Put Crimson flare on Aerith to use before Hellfire aswell for extra fire pot during Shiva's stun phase.
This is where it gets tough. Everything is either an EX2 or Crash battle starting with Leviathan yesterday. I demolished Hell House today haha Blitzrad might be a major roadblock for me though

dang dont really have a setup for gi nattak? I think auto'd it with my wind team but my wind team is pretty strong too. I learned from that fight that you wanna get your attack stance gauge as high as you possibly can before going into sigil phase or there's no way you'll be able to break it.
Man im realizing many people are stuck on that one 😂 maybe I should make a video on it but it's essentially Shiva EX1 right? My fire Tifa destroyed her pretty fast
@@CaponeToneTonyFunny thing is that I was able to beat Shiva Ex 1, and my fire Tifa can deal tons of damage against it too - but I can't get past the sigil part 😆

Very helpful comment, I will pin this for this for the others!
Cleared it with vincent instead of Lucia using your strat. Nice work!
Nice! I guess you just used Quakera and debuffed earth res?
this vid helped me beat the stage 😍i swapped vincent for tifa and it worked , thank you bro 🤝
Woooooo thats awesome to hear!

yeah they're like slightly nerfed crashes, definitely not crash tier but still pretty tough haha
This is where my beloved tifa with bahamut shines ❤
Without her I would have totally been screwed. My physical earth Yuffie was not cutting it lol

I wish they add more rewards in the event story and more content will be added soon
I think the next batch of main story content is coming soon for first soldier. But yeah... it takes a long time for them get this content out
Man I’m so jealous of your OB10 Aerith. I used all my gems and I’m only OB3 with four stamps left on the third card 😩
aw man im sorry, that is some brutal luck. She's incredible tbh probably my favorite build from this anniversary

And about the 21 (Shiva) ?
hmmm maybe I should do a video on this one, didn't realize so many were struggling with it
Easy kill! Great job!!
Yeah i never seem to be able to get 10k hp AND high magic def AND high dmg…
It's a really rough balance. Those guild weapons are very much needed as well as some good materia stack sticks
I auto teamed and auto fought all the tower levels until Shiva. Now I have to make real teams and be a sweaty try hard. No bueno.
This is where it gets tough. Everything is either an EX2 or Crash battle starting with Leviathan yesterday. I demolished Hell House today haha Blitzrad might be a major roadblock for me though
Hey im stuck at shiva i couldnt beat her!
Look up Shiva EX1 fights, it's a very similar setup.

OB6 Mythril Rod should work if you got it. But if you don't have that either you could use Matt.. centipede + core defender or syringe
