I think many peopel posted this subject on the other thread called "Any tips on beating Weapons", anyway I'll post something here.

Yes, Final Attack + Phoenix is a great combo, it save me countless times.

This is not a materia combination, Miming limit break was pretty good especially when you battle in the battle arena, you never will lose unless you choose the bar which takes all command materias away.

Equip as many counter materias as you can, you'll kick any enemys asses.

Master Magic+All, or Master Summon+Counter/Master Summon+HP/MP Absorb w/ Knights of the Round, by then it does 9999 every time and that's alot of damage and you get alot of HP and MP back too.

If you like funny one, try this combination; Final Attack + Exit, can you guess what happens?

when your character die, he'll try to escape with his last power, even though he succeeds to escape, it'll be just gameover, I'm talking about the situation in which your characters all die and one uses final attack.

Ive never tried it but would:
4X Cut and Slash All Work?

Wait...What if you didn't have Master summon? you wouldn't be able to get revived more that 5 times. So I think Final Attack + Life2...think that'd work too?

Do you mean whether you can slash all opponents 4 times?
In that case, unfortunately it is impossible.

I like Knights of Round with MP Absorb, and Knight of Round with HP absorb! That helped me kill Ruby Weapon!

it doesn't work anyway, cause Final Attack doesn't work over 5 times either.

I guess you're right. I didn't know how it really works cuz I didn't get it yet. but it would really help if you have a master materia of the same type...

777
07-02-2004, 02:50 AM
I think there's no need to get master materia though, cause you can beat the hardest bosses; weapons even without it.
Besides after you beat them, you can get it but what are you going to use it against? I think it is kind of reward for beating them, actually what I'm saying seems like out of this subject.

Im not that sure if you can beat the ruby and emerald wepaon without certain materia such as final attack, KOTR etc. But you certainly dont need master.
Thank You

Master Magic, W-Magic, MP Absorb-Master Summon, MP Turbo-Knights of the Round, Master Command, Enemy Skill, W-Summon, Slash-All, Mega All, HP Plus, Final Attack-Phoenix

or

Quad-Magic-Fire, MP Turbo-Fire, MP Absorb-Fire, HP Absorb-Fire,
Added Cut-Fire, Added Steal-Fire, Magic Counter-Fire, W-Magic, Magic Plus.

It's pretty obvious..with one casting, you get 8 Fire 3s, two attacks, 8 steal attempts, and end up with a lot more HP and MP than you started with. Just remember, the fire can be any other thing like ice or bolt.

Ya, I used most of the materia 1_W1nged_Angel has posted above. I just didn't wanna list it all because it would be a pain. Well anyway, my favorite materia combo is KOR with HP absorb, and KOR with MP absorb!

i would say my fav combo would have to be 4X cut , hades-added effect, that way, you have 4 chances to do a shit load of damage to them using spells that are just seaping outta your sword, fist or staff :D

uh...well that's true...but maybe I can use them against the last boss, sephy. But that's no fun...

There are many cool combos to use though as listed in amy of the posts.
1. Final Attack - Phoenix
2. KOTR - HP Absorb
3. Quadra Magic - Ultima (Defeated Jenova synthesis with this beauty straight away)
4. W-Summon - KOTR (obviously good to use)...
5. ...And maybe not cool but pretty necessary for KOTR, Quadra Magic, Mime, HP/MP (unless you get the master amteria from bugenhagen's observ.)

You've probably guessed it

Nobody has said yet, the best, most wicked combo:

Sneak Attack + Morph + Mega All (+ Yuffie's Ultimate Conformer Weapon)


Make sure Sneak Attack and Mega All are mastered. Have Yuffie max out strength from the Heavy Tank at the Gongaga reactor. Luck from the Bad Raps in the Gelnika doesn't hurt either. To up the chances even more, and handle those pesky attacks from both sides, make sure to have the Sneak Attack and Morph in there twice.

Dot Centaur
07-03-2004, 03:48 PM
That materia combo suits Yuffie.

Hey, a long time ago I tried to use Quadra-Magic with KOTR, but it didnn't work and I also doubt Quadra-M works with Summon Materias.

Dot Centaur
07-04-2004, 02:46 AM
Quadra-Magic is good, but I wouldn't suggest it with KOR because it uses up alot of MP. Quadra-Magic is best suited for Bahumut ZERO. I do remember it working with the summons, but I just wouldn't suggest using it with KOR.

Rapture
07-04-2004, 11:38 AM
It might seem that im getting a little sidetracked here, but apparently everytime you summon KOTR on ruby weapon, it counters with ultima.
Im not sure, since i beat ruby wiith the good old omnislash :)

Dot Centaur
07-04-2004, 01:07 PM
He does counter it with Ultima, but when I used KOR combined with HP absorb, that fully restored my HP, so that combo had my back the whole time baby!

Agent0042
07-04-2004, 03:55 PM
I have said this before in other threads before and I'll say it again:

The way to get around Ruby's Ultima counter is Hades. You want to W-Summon Hades and then Knights of the Round and then just keep Miming. It's really bad, he can't do anything to you.

Dot Centaur
07-04-2004, 06:37 PM
Yeah, but with the KOR-HP Absorb, KOR-MP Absorb, and Final Attack-Master Revive, I beat Ruby Weapon just like that! Thanks anyway! Oh Yeah Agent 0042, you're cool;) !

Rapture
07-06-2004, 06:39 AM
Or you could put reflect on then summon KOTR, cos the damage from ultima will be reversed back onto it/him ...?...
But Agent0042'sidea was good as well, but i used it on emerald, and it put stop on it everytime :D

Dot Centaur
07-06-2004, 11:56 PM
Yeah, but with Reflect, you can't heal yourself when you need to. That's why I never use reflect it sucks.

Agent0042
07-07-2004, 12:21 AM
No, just use the White Wind enemy skill. White Wind is way better than Cure anyway because it usually heals for more HP unless all of your characters are at low HP, and also it won't be reflected.

Dot Centaur
07-07-2004, 01:24 AM
Cool! I didn't know that. I never used enemy skill much because I got lazy. Where would you learn the White Wind though?

I sometimes hardley use Blue Magic anyway because I got too lazy going around learning the magic from enemies.

777
07-07-2004, 01:56 AM
White wind could be better than Cure but think about how much damage It does to your characters. Since White wind heals the same amount of HP as the present HP of the character who uses White Wind, I guess it is not really usefull.

Magic counter demi, quadra magic -demi quadra magic demi. hell, that's a lot of demi at one short but if i'm not wrong it can be used against emerald weapon.

TifaGirl, checked the pinned thread about my Enemy Skills guide at the top to learn about how to get White Wind.

White Wind is better in most cases, because unless the enemy uses an attack that totally devestates all your characters, you will have at least one character that can cast it that still has a fairly high HP. And then they will restore all of your other characters by that amount. The only thing that might be better in my opinion is Regen. There's a combo: Regen-All.

Dot Centaur
07-07-2004, 06:26 PM
Okay, I'll have to check it out.

777
07-08-2004, 11:30 AM
Is Regen good? I didN't use it much. Oh, but I 've heard when Haste is on your character, Regen heals him at shorter intervals.
Have you ever heard of it?

Agent0042
07-08-2004, 03:38 PM
Regen is great, and I think that it does go faster when you have Haste. Regen is so useful that when you have it on, it's like some attacks don't even hit at all.

777
07-09-2004, 01:08 PM
But you have to also be aware of how long Regen lasts, when you have Haste on yourself. It gets shorter as well, right?

I found something interesting, If you equip master magic with magic counter, it'll choose one of magis automatically, have a try.
Sometimes, it kicks ass with Ultima or some strong magic and sometims it does crap ones such as thunder.

Rapture
07-11-2004, 01:31 PM
You can learn white wind from a monster around fort condor i think i did read your guide agent0042 dont bite my head off, i just cant remember it.
For ruby you should cast haste,regen,reflect and then w-summon KOTR and mime it. Regen should counter ultima, but white wind will prove useful.
if not you can always debarrier yourself and cast cure3.


ThankYou.
