Getting Wakka and/or Tidus's celestial can be tedious. Watching the Ultima animation is also tedious. I have an alternative method to this one which is much faster, but requires set-up: Requirements: - Auron/Rikku/Yuna celestials obtained and powered up. (No preference on character, they are just the easiest BDL weapons to get. Optional/Optimal: character with BDL/Magic Booster/Mag 20%/Mag 10% weapon - don't bother with 1MP cost, copycat is only 28 mana or something.) - Auron knows reflect - Everyone knows Doublecast + Flare + Copycat - Comrade Overdrive (recommended, you will get hydraulic pressed at least once) - Get magic to 170 (from sphere grid) -> farm Jumbo Flan (using this same method) to 255 - Anima obtained - Auto-Haste (bribe Machea - originally found in Omega Ruins) - Auto-Protect (optional) - Agi > 170 (optional) First move (always Auron if using celestial), cast reflect on anyone on your team Second move, doublecast Flare on that same person (Greater Sphere does not retaliate to reflected flares - no tedious Ultima animation!) All subsequent moves (including the original Flare..er): Copycat. Keep track of how much damage you've done - 2x Flare = about 100,000 - by memory (150k - 200k against Flan depending on magic stat) Once you've hit about 1,000,000 damage - Grand Summon Anima or Magus sisters for the last 600,000 damage. Against Flan, when you've done about 1,000,000, switch to Anima and start using Pain for the 99,999 overkill (by memory Oblivion is 200k or something here). If you have protect you can survive 2 Hydraulic Presses, and if you have 170+ AGI the sphere won't live long enough to do a third one. If you don't have protect, summon a sacrificial Aeon when Sphere gets another move. Not Yojimbo, he holds a grudge (lowers Zanmato chance) if you let him die.
I'm actually using a variation of this a decade ago. Which now I'm about to repeat replaying this game. I simply use reflect on one character and all three of them double casting flares on it. With 5x Focus, the flares will 99k the sphere boss. The set up is: - All attribute maxed grid except luck (coz we are here for that) - Three new BDL weapon with Magic Boost, 20% magic, Break Damage Limit. The other one is flexible slot, personally I prefer One Mana Cost. - The mandatory auto-haste armors. Just bribe them Machaea. After farming those other attributes, and the ultima unlock reward. you will have the dark matters for this three new weapon. These new weapons is much stronger to cast the flares compared to celestials, no matter which characters. The celestials only managed to do 50k damage flares, but this magic focused weapon will do the 99k damage. Not fully 99.999 constantly for the overkill, but still giving a faster time than using celestials for the flare fiesta. Then finish it with overdrive for the overkill bonus. This way, the boss' hydraulic press isnt a threat, and you will get a new weapon for a new fun magic build.
u can use custom wep with 1mp cost / magic booster+2 extra stats that i dont remenber, keep spaming double flare with x 3 chars, (lulu is not necesary), as soon u saw overdrive just use aeon, if u have turbo controller he will die faster. dont remenber much my set up that time cuz was 2005.
Mad respects but what’s the point of not using attack reels? They are fairly easy to obtain and easy to execute. There is a pattern in reaching 2 2 2 hit and have its damage maximized without the reduction of longer time. I suck at the slots before i got the pattern. After that i have like 97% success rate
Some of us hate most of the minigames and dont want to play hundreds of blitzball matches or dodge hundreds of bolts or kill hundreds of birds to let off pent up aggression
@@LanceTheDragonMastah you dont need “hundreds of games” in blitzball to obtain attack reels though. Like i said, it is fairly easy to obtain and the reward (attack reels) is soo worth it for such an easy requirement
@@raymond9290 then again you dont need to have a celestial weapon to achieve high damage in attack reels. Remember, the defense ignore aspect of celestial weapons does not apply to overdrives.
@@tusanity Actually it is slower with Anima because the overall damage output you can do with Slice and Dice is max visual damage at 99,999 per hit with just 255 Strength/Defense/Agility Attack Reels isn't that much different but you get a higher DPS output, which when you loop and have low level companions you basically get a insta overdrive due to how Hydraulic Press damage is done, as it does 90% total HP damage. So I am afraid the faster method is not Anima because that requires more of a set up due to the fact he needs specific abilities to make this work. Mainly Haste/Curaga/Regen along with mostly maxed stats to do enough damage to even make more of a dent in Greater Sphere, the only real reason for Anima in the Arena is Jumbo Flan
Danish F 99,999 it is the limit. But think it’s because I have aeon scenes set to short. So it just adds up all the single hits in the overdrive to give you a total. But I could be wrong.
This is very inefficent. What you do is max Strenght on Tidus and use slice and dice. Use entrust from other party members so he can use it 3 times and the boss is dead.
You cast protect on all your members and make your other two members guard while Tidus does the over-drive. Not sure why you are even grinding Luch spheres if you dont have maxed strenght, defense and magic defense yet.
Or I can just play 5 games of blitzball and get the attack reels to save myself a lot of time. No offense, but this is much slower since you can just spam two attack reels and greater sphere won’t stand a chance.That is, if you max out strength and defend though. Also put your overdrive mode to victor so you get 50% overdrive on all 3 characters each time you win a fight.
Wayne your theory has a major flaw in it. What if some people suck at hitting 2 x 2 x2 ? If you don't manage to hit 2 on all 3, then Wakka's reel sucks as he'll only hit like 2-3 times and that will take you even longer to kill it with Wakka
@@hellspawner8410 There is a rhythm to get all 2x on the reel, and even if you miss you can always use entrust to give overdrive gauge to Wakka. Greater spere has only 1.5 mil hp, and its hydrolic press does jackshit damage.
@@BraveVesperia0828 hydrolic press the single target attack or the flat attack one ? remind me. The flat attack does like 10k damage to me while having protect and cheer x5. Auto Life FTW lol
@@hellspawner8410 He uses hydrolic press to counter attack reels, he only managed to get like 1k or 2k damage to me, I have Auto haste and auto protect and 255 defence on all characters.
Anima breaks the 99,999 dmg limit on a 9999hp playthrough? Holy shit bros. This is also worth mentioning since I just beat all the dark aeons and have done the 100+ hour playthrough with all the grinds and monster arena. It's absolutely worth it to get wakkas weapon and sigil, I would only suggest NOT doing it if you absolutely hate blitzball (I love it so... lol)

Oh goddamn, I love you mate. I never thought about protect and regen for Anima...
Makes it so much easier :D
626 576 damage CRAZY !
Anima - best Aeon for sure. Can do anything. The only monster I bother using for super hard bosses.
WOW! This is the first time I saw 600k damage! :o
The one time you don’t want Dark Matters…
when you fight earth eater and get dark matters to feel up the luck spots on all 7 characters
That and earth eater.
thank you for posting this. super helpful.
thanks! :)
The real test will be when you post the “defeating dark yojimbo without wakka attack reels, or slice and dice” video

Isn't this a slower method then having Tidus Slice and Dice/2 low level companions in Comrade as it only takes 3 slice and dices to do the job
Slice and dice will work, but I'm pretty positive that using Anima is faster.
Looks like you broke the game 0.0

Anima taking too long beating a jelly???
Im so sad looking at yuna everytime she summon every big monster why dont have any character have any gf like ff7@8 ?
Nonsense
How did your Anima do more than 99999 damage? I though that was the limit after break damage limit.
Can other aeons and characters do that too?
Danish F 99,999 it is the limit. But think it’s because I have aeon scenes set to short. So it just adds up all the single hits in the overdrive to give you a total. But I could be wrong.
Equip Yuna's celestial weapon
@@tusanity that is exactly the case as you said it shortens the animation therfore you dont see the hundred punches that do damage
This is very inefficent. What you do is max Strenght on Tidus and use slice and dice. Use entrust from other party members so he can use it 3 times and the boss is dead.
As that method may work perfectly fine for some, a lot of people(such as me) have trouble surviving the counter attacks and hydraulic press.
You cast protect on all your members and make your other two members guard while Tidus does the over-drive. Not sure why you are even grinding Luch spheres if you dont have maxed strenght, defense and magic defense yet.
Sebastian Bugge If you read the description it said that he does have max stats for yuna
And that is the first mistake. You always max stats on Tidus first to ensure you can complete the bosses for the next stats needed.
Sebastian Bugge Mistake? Yuna is a beast.
Its so slow...
Might as well just get attack reels and do this end game. It's much faster.
Not everyone plays blitzball, and not everyone is good at the slots. This is just an easy laid back alternate approach.
how did you get 600 k damage ? what did you do to break the 99 k damage ?
It’s just shortened anima ultimate. So it adds all the small hits into one.
Attack reels still faster
Didn’t say this was faster.
They're not gonna force Me to to play any stinking blitzball ^_^ just for Wakka to have fun.
