Ahoy my friends! Today I will be breaking down and going through ALL of the Ultimate Weapons in the attempt to shine some light on where you should as players be spending your Ultimate Medals! Hopefully we can come to a consensus on the best ones in the game! Let's get to it! Cheers! And as always, Thank you for your support 🙏🏽🍻💯
Just a lil correction: Matt's UC ability is not based on healing potency, it does say that restores 25% of max HP to all allies, so regardless of his healing potency, this will always heal 1/4 of everyone's HP. So, depending on how it is used, it can be a good backup heal, especially now that characters are getting 14K+ HP and healers cannot keep the pace
Some things to note: Glen/Barret's do have a real point. Take the Bahamut EX fights for example: The great majority of damage you need to worry about in those fights is magical, but then once in a blue moon, you have a big Divebomb incoming that you do want to mitigate. So having access to a PDEF up without dedicating a conventional weapon slot to it can be a real value. Also, Matt's does not give 25% of healing potency, it heals 1/4 of max HP. Doesn't matter if he has 100 HEAL stat, so it will likely be pretty neck and neck with Aerith's 50% of HEAL stat.
@@stephenmeserve9535 I haven’t had a reason to run sephiroth into anything with an interruption phase yet, but I would assume all damage. R abilities have always had effects outside the weapons’ own skills, and this one does not specify UC damage. Also, interruption phases are already short enough and infrequent enough to provide sufficient limitation to the R ability’s power.
Press ALT+ENTER to get your game into Windowed mode so you don't have to keep opening the start menu. Thanks for going through them all, before watching this I honestly had no idea which one I wanted to grab. I'm not strong enough yet to completely max the event so I can only get one.
My recommendation to people is first one should be for your best DPS. Whatever character you can get to Level 7 PATK/MATK, 7 ATK, and have the (All) R.Abilities to push to the biggest attack number, because those % gains are going to give you the biggest return on the base stats you get with an Ultimate Weapon. After that, either Aerith or Matt. 20 HEAL points is hugeand will help you get off the back foot in hard content. Red also has that R.Ability but since his U.C.Ability doesn't have a cleanse, it's just not the same. Then 3rd is a U.C. ability you think you can get some mileage out of just based on your team and the content you're stuck on. It should be noted though, I did not follow my own advice because I just thought (correctly) it would be fun to get Vincent and Cait's to spam cool transformations.
I got only Cloud too, and the next will be Aerith. Better dont get Sephiroth because this free one is not so good and you may get it in this banner or future banners.
I got Tifa first because...uh Tifa. I got Aerith second since I use her as my healer most of the time and an emergency heal that uses no at seems like it could come clutch for some ex fights and crisis dungeons.
good analysis, someone already mentioned Matt's weapon is based on your party's max hp (i think if you party has 10k hp overall, aerith's 50% heal will not heal much more and if you have even more, matt clearly beats it on top of a better side effect) -I personally think, Zack (helps when you dont have breaks and helps when enemies buff themselves), Cloud (same as Zack), Matt (Max hp% heal will scale hard the more hp we have and removing debilitating debuffs is very strong for his supportkit) and Sephiroth (big damage) are the winners from the effect itself. -Aerith is close behind those 3, as she can immediatly get rid of annoying dps reduction, but has no value for offensive Aerith -Vincent is pretty insane, given he has such big limit charges and if you are a Vincent main you would also put Cait Sith to the top... if not tho, cait is trash imo, so this is a double pack for Vincent enjoyers -Tifa's glove is only a 2 stage boost and i myself have various methods to boost my dps to stage 3 constantly, so i dont like it at all (would even drop it to C tier as a statstick) -Glenn, Barret and Lucia unfortunately have absolutely no value besides being a ult weapon and with that enhancing their stats (so you kinda want them, but def. not for the effect but only for statsticks) -Red? ehh i dunno, Matt and Aerith outclass this so hard and regen builds are not a thing so far (again statstick if you play Red often) Obviously you want the Ultimate weapons for your mains, even if they are bad. the additional stats are never bad. so pick accordingly In the end i would also like to mention the U-Weapon medals do not expire and as far as i have heard, we will see Angeal joining the roster at the end of anniversary, so there might actually be a secret top tier pick coming up after everyone has wasted their medals. What im saying is, save 100 medals! Oh and dont forget we will most likely see 3 more featured ultimate weapons. those might reduce some of the free ones to garbage tier, as you cant equip multiple ones. I personally am gonna wait until we have all the banners before i pick my poison as long as the game doesnt force me to pick one.
While the banner ultimate weapons are awesome, because of their ability to be used more than once, it may be more useful to evaluate these welfare ultimate weapons with more attention to their R.abilities. It's nice that you get the full value off the R.abilities. I think your assessment of these abilities was spot on. I may move the Ultimate Nameless down to D tier, only because it pales in comparison to the superior Genji Blade. 3000% is a lot of damage once though.
@@BodhiJMSRyder yeah, in the future I could possibly see some of these weapons becoming niche, and only really used when a character wants some extra DEF or another R.ability.
I think I told you I got cloud and aeriths right away to help clear ramuh2 last night since they were my dps and healer for the fight. Aerith is my healer for most fights that can benefit from kamura so I’m super solid on that choice. Next I’ll go for red and barret since they are my debuffers for most fights. Then I’ll start rounding out my dps characters. I figured I should focus on characters that I use the most first since they will benefit from the extra stats and brands. PSA-I wasted nearly 100 brand stones before I realized you can retain the old stats on reroll 😂. The system seems to work much better now that I know I can click on the old brand stats to keep them instead of always rerolling into new ones.
At the end it does say it will be "featured" in other draw the month for the gengi blade. That means it will have the .3% rate not the other rate. I think it means that this will always be available moving forward, just like any other non-limited weapon, but at a different rate. At least thats how i read it.
Matt's is based on Max HP and not Potency like Red/Aerith which you kept comparing them too. So which one heals more will depend on your team comp and total hp. 27% potency is actually quite low and the total HP% allows us to potentially build higher HP team comps because heals haven't been effective against high lvl bosses who require us to have higher def/mdef instead of high HP.
Matt's healing is restoring 25% of max HP, whereas Aerith's and Red's are 50% heal potential and 27% heal potential which is much lower compare to Aerith's usual healing skills with other weapons. Matt's would have better potential in high level team where HP is more than 10K.
I think Clouds new Bahamut weapon is insanely powerful, second only to Sephiroth's ultimate weapon. Now that we have the ultimate weapons, I am curious to see if Square is going to include the original weapons (Ruby and Emerald) and the Knights of The Round summon.
They all have use and cover something the character can't do normally so pretty good all round, the 30 second charge is ok means we won't smash content too quick
Has anybody reported the glitch that gets you to equip ultimate weapons for other characters? I just equipped aerith with ultimate buster and got her to do the uc in coop.
Might be better to separate the Gacha ones from the Free ones since they are most likely always going to be better than their free counterparts. That being said, it's going to take time until all the gacha UWs are going to roll out. From the datamine it looks like Cait Sith's is going to be next.
@@BodhiJMSRyder oh I meant like a separate tier list. Since they will probably always be S tier compared to the free ones. Cait's UW will be within September based on datamines. They will probably roll out all the gacha UW's within year 2 of the game.
I would say Buster Sword is right there with Glenn's and Barret's ultima weapon because if the team needs patk/matk down they wont go without a debuffer and wasting a ultima ability for that is meh...
As much as i really want to pick up 2 ultimate weapons i think im going to wait until the next piece of content i get stuck on, likely the next solo crash. Being patient sucks 😂

Good points!!!
Genji Blade = 4 tier buff
Interruption buff = 60% extra damage during interruption.
-Jiraiya
THANK YOU!
For all attacks that land during the interruptions? Or just if the genji blade lands during interruptions?
@stephenmeserve9535 prob the R Ability affects all his attacks during interruption including Genji

Thanks for the perspective mate!!
I think the most important thing right now is the stat bonus it brings. That's why I chose the two characters I use the most: Cloud & Aerith
True stats are super solid
Thanks for this video. Validated my thoughts. Getting aerith since i use her for everything.❤
Great choice ☺️🤙🏽🙏🏽💯
Hello Ryder ! I haven't made my choice yet, all of them are useful..
I'll probably go for a DPS one (for the additional stats) and a Heal
I chose Cloud off the bat because, well, it's Cloud haha ~ Now i'm waiting to let the game content determine my next one
I went for Tifa and Vincent. Will get Cloud and Aerith next only because I don't have seph build much.
Good choices!
For now i only have Cloud. Next is Sephiroth then Zack, team soldier is the best
All have great ones. Holding off on Seph in case i pull Genji Blade
I got only Cloud too, and the next will be Aerith. Better dont get Sephiroth because this free one is not so good and you may get it in this banner or future banners.
@rafaelgq2913 🙏🏽💯✌🏽

I WAS JUST GOOGLING THIS 😂😂😂 couldn’t find anything and came to UA-cam thank you for this brother!!
Course mate!! Enjoy and good luck choosing!!
ive been waiting on YT all dang day for this video from anyone lol
@@Delita-FFT Bodhi always delivering 🙌🏻

Well said!! Thank you for sharing!
Consider the U. Weapons to be additional pieces of gear. The R. Abilities and stats are not treated like sub weapons. You get the full effects.
Well said!
"Sorry about that, that looks actually pretty good" at 13:03 made me lol a little
Hahaha i try to record these so that I enjoy them more and you guys can laugh at me a bit =)
LOVE THAT CHICKEN FROM POPEYES
@kimjrYT hahahahahahaha it did look good 😆✌🏽

Yeah right on, for sure Seph’s regular ultimate will never see the light of day if one has Genji 🙏🏽
@@BodhiJMSRyder yeah, in the future I could possibly see some of these weapons becoming niche, and only really used when a character wants some extra DEF or another R.ability.
@BFeast-jd5xq yeah same
Decided to get the uw for Cloud and Zack, 1mil CP now!
Hell yeah congratulations bro!! That's huge!!
@@BodhiJMSRyder Figured it'd be a fitting milestone for the 1yr anni😅 not too mention make me stronger for our guild:)
100% grateful to have you with us brother!

Oh shit I did not know that! Thank you for letting me know! So you just click on the old ones to keep them?
@@BodhiJMSRyderyeah where it lists the old buffs and the new ones. Click on the top old ones and the button at the bottom will change to ‘retain’
Thank you!!!
At the end it does say it will be "featured" in other draw the month for the gengi blade. That means it will have the .3% rate not the other rate. I think it means that this will always be available moving forward, just like any other non-limited weapon, but at a different rate. At least thats how i read it.
That would be the best possible situation I hope it turns out like this 💯🤙🏽
I got Cloud first for status, after the status (from zero to 200) I will think about buffs
Yeah stats are solid no matter what
Gengi blade can be gotten from exchange when 20 pulls have been done with the Mako medals.
It’s 30 pulls 🙏🏽 90K
Matt's is based on Max HP and not Potency like Red/Aerith which you kept comparing them too. So which one heals more will depend on your team comp and total hp. 27% potency is actually quite low and the total HP% allows us to potentially build higher HP team comps because heals haven't been effective against high lvl bosses who require us to have higher def/mdef instead of high HP.
Thank you! Missed this!
i just picked clouds and sephiroths as i use them the most (not sephs gacha 1 his f2p 1) and these boost stats a decent amount
I did the same bro
Nice congrats!
Matt's healing is restoring 25% of max HP, whereas Aerith's and Red's are 50% heal potential and 27% heal potential which is much lower compare to Aerith's usual healing skills with other weapons. Matt's would have better potential in high level team where HP is more than 10K.
That's what i'm hearing!
Barrets one is good because he doesn't have anything like that. 60 second charge is hefty price.
Isn’t Barret’s PDEF up? He has Assault Gun?
@@BodhiJMSRyder
Theirs a lot wrong with my comment here...
@horizonkage hahahaha that’s ok :)
I think Clouds new Bahamut weapon is insanely powerful, second only to Sephiroth's ultimate weapon. Now that we have the ultimate weapons, I am curious to see if Square is going to include the original weapons (Ruby and Emerald) and the Knights of The Round summon.
That would be awesome!!!
Genji Blade chose me on my 5th pull 🙏
Hell yeah congrats!!!
If you do 30 draws you'll get the 300 gems to buy the Seph ultimate.
Yeah def but 90K for a pity is pretty horrendous haha
They all have use and cover something the character can't do normally so pretty good all round, the 30 second charge is ok means we won't smash content too quick
Cept Barret who covers what he can already do lol
I dont get why you put Sephiroth on A, since its just damage and can be used just one time. It will make minimum diference in hard battles.
An extra 3000% damage is quite hefty my brudda. Especially in close DPS check battles.
Hey how did you get 200 medals I’m only at 174? And the floors are locked until further date
beat all of the cetra event quests
Has anybody reported the glitch that gets you to equip ultimate weapons for other characters? I just equipped aerith with ultimate buster and got her to do the uc in coop.
Edited coop team to erase default cloud in slot 1, then changed characters to aerith, and it auto equipped
Hahaha for real? I gotta try this!
Regen is short for regeneration!
Hahaha yeah i always mess that up =P
Any chance you know when the next Bahamut draws will release?
Idk I’m guessing next week
Might be better to separate the Gacha ones from the Free ones since they are most likely always going to be better than their free counterparts. That being said, it's going to take time until all the gacha UWs are going to roll out. From the datamine it looks like Cait Sith's is going to be next.
Yeah they are separate, but i wanted to throw Genji in there as a comparison. CS is supposed to be next year
@@BodhiJMSRyder oh I meant like a separate tier list. Since they will probably always be S tier compared to the free ones. Cait's UW will be within September based on datamines. They will probably roll out all the gacha UW's within year 2 of the game.
@@haruyukiar1ta For sure, but atm since there's only one hehe
I'm having trouble with ifrit and bahamut ex 2 which feels odd considering ive got like a 300k team. Anyone got tips? Im getting spanked lol
Have you watched my EX2 Ifrit/Bahamut guide?
@@BodhiJMSRyder I have not this is I think the first I've seen your channel lol
@@Fluckinoob Oh well yeah, just check out my summon battles playlist and you'll find a EX2 Ifrit/Bahamut guide. Should get you through it np
barret's u. ability confuses me quite a bit, like, why give a character that already has a high pdef boost, a new high pdef boost?
Yep makes no sense
Maybe to be used in emergency when he need to spam heal in place of pdef up. Or be used for the abilities. But yeah his one is the worst.
@rafaelgq2913 yeah :/
I would say Buster Sword is right there with Glenn's and Barret's ultima weapon because if the team needs patk/matk down they wont go without a debuffer and wasting a ultima ability for that is meh...
True true well spoken
So frustrated that Tifas only hit mid pot…
Agreed !!!!
How get ultimate medals?
new tower and cetra event
I pulled Genji Blade when finishing page 2 🥰
Damn congrats!!!
It's 4 tiers
Thank you Sora!
As much as i really want to pick up 2 ultimate weapons i think im going to wait until the next piece of content i get stuck on, likely the next solo crash.
Being patient sucks 😂
Haha it is still a fun way to see what the game gives you though 🤙🏽😁
