Ahoy my friends! Today I will be taking on the fabled EX2 Leviathan fight, and breaking down the fight in the easiest way possible so that all of you guys can get this clear!! This is a really fun fight, and honestly not that bad at all IF you have Red XIII, Cloud, and Zack with their respective weapons. The fight is more or less straight forward, with a large sigil break phase in the middle, but I'll be breaking down the entire fight mechanics in a powerpoint, so that being said, let's get into it!! Hope this helps you guys get the clear!! Let's go!! Cheers! And as always, Thank you for your support 🙏🏽🍻💯
Thanks for the tutorial broseph. I finally managed to topple Leviathan EX2 despite having basically lower level equipment. Basically, I used the same weapons as you, but the only weapons I had OB6 or higher was an OB6 Seaside Collar and an OB 10 Murasame. Managing to make the last DPS check seemed out of reach, but I finally got another rare encounter on my Highwind, which allowed me to level a relic up, granting me an additional 0.1% on my weapon C. Ability damage. That 0.1% was everything lol. I was stressing having to modify my future wishlist with Sleek Collar and Twinkling Star, as those I only have OB4 and OB3, respectively. Appreciate you.
Nice, one extra tip if someone needs extra stats is that you really can get away with only having water resist weapons on the character with lowest hp/highest mdef.
Tifa is a decent replacement for Zack with Tiger Fangs + Her limit break kick that does what Twinkling does. Also good to interrupt the boss. Then Cloud can do bandage sword and Red 13 can do Seaside Collar + platinum for healing. Covers everything needed. Also squad I used is Cloud with bandage sword, Red with Seaside and junk collar and then Matt healing with core deffender in the MAIN HAND because of the water resistance and then Prime number in the offhand. So a lot of build options here. Also if you interrupt the boss a lot with a strong DPS race you can skip a lot of part of the fight and kill him before he starts doing the x3 single attack.
If anyone not aware yet, during second countdown if you hit him with Murasame, it will make leviathan flinch and give you extra 6 seconds! Otherwise he will just fire it off within 6 seconds of the countdown appearing
@BodhiJMSRyder At the very beginning , when he's charging up tidal wave. Hit him with Murasame when you see the countdown text read "Two" and you will notice he flinches. If you miss it he will fire his attack 6-7 seconds after the text appears
@BodhiJMSRyder Although I knew something was going on, I couldn't pinpoint it til today. I kept fighting it repeatedly and wonder why sometimes I could get LB and sometimes I couldn't. So I recorded both ways and it was evident lol
Haha that was my problem to. I think after first sigil there is a hidden damage threshold so you need to interrupt the briny’s and get Levi under 1/2 HP i believe 🙏🏽
I don't have the arcanum thunder of cliud, and the wall is at ob4, at the moment you killed him I'm just under 40/50% life, the fact is that I can't make the person who is targeted survive from single target attacks, so I can't continue the battle, not to mention that I don't know how it continues since all the videos I've seen end at this point
He’s ded 😂🥳🥳. I don’t have murasame cloud. I have murasame ob6 but without the costume he wasn’t doing enough damage. But I do have ob7 monster hunter Zack. And ob8 pressure ridge for even more patk. Used red13 with base 5 star seaside collar for imperil and his matk down weapon . And used aerith with monster hunter ob6 weapon and costume for mdef and patk up and cure+all materia and cure boost materia single target. ob6 umbrella for pdef down. Stacked water resist and mdef on red13 with low hp 🎯. Thanks for all the tips on these fights it really helped adjust my team to get a working strategy with the newer weapons and costumes I actually have. Just have to mix and match a bit 😂🥳🥳🥳🥳
Came down to last second again Zack doing his front flip animation and crossing my fingers it connected before castvar for tidal wave ended 😂. Since I used monster hunter Zack I didn’t have triangle sigil weapon I had x2 X sigil. So I just gave all three characters a triangle to finish off the phase after super quick X break.

this is too hard for me but it was a godo video =)
@GoddessTifa777 just take your time and eventually you will clear it 💯🙏🏽
I LOVE LOVE LOVE these power point slides. These are way more helpful than just looking at a character build.
Thank you for these 😊
Very happy you like them!! And i appreciate the love! Best of luck out there!!
thanks, it works, the key is to to use ult to disturb its single atk as much as possible
Yes it is!
yo leviathan ex2 was so easy and thanks to your guide, i barely had to try lmao inruppting his attacks helps the most lol

Oh nice!! Thanks for sharing the other betas! That is really helpful to a lot of people 🙏🏽💯🙏🏽💯

Wait wait wait by second countdown do you mean second Maelstrom?
@BodhiJMSRyder At the very beginning , when he's charging up tidal wave. Hit him with Murasame when you see the countdown text read "Two" and you will notice he flinches. If you miss it he will fire his attack 6-7 seconds after the text appears
@tfoserauqsevoli oh shit good eye!! Thanks for sharing!!

@tfoserauqsevoli nice!! Good work out there!
I got your exact setup minus the cloud costume. I’m like 90k above the recommended and I still dying towards the end. Pray for me lol
Def doable without the Battle Garb you just have to be ON POINT with the fight mechanics! LB cancels for the win!
I think it is surprising they made Leviathan weak to physical lightning and not a new banner but thats good i think, except for newrr players
Im all for this myself but yeah i can see this being frustrating for a newer player. Guess is new Lightning banner otw
the briny bellows keep ruining it! This will help a lot so thank u for the vid
Haha that was my problem to. I think after first sigil there is a hidden damage threshold so you need to interrupt the briny’s and get Levi under 1/2 HP i believe 🙏🏽

Do you have Ramuh’s free summon weapons for boosted water resistance?
When I was doing it, he always targeted the toon with the most mdef.
Hmm does that happen to be your char with the lowest HP? Because he was targeting Cloud originally for me and he had the lowest MDEF
He’s ded 😂🥳🥳. I don’t have murasame cloud. I have murasame ob6 but without the costume he wasn’t doing enough damage. But I do have ob7 monster hunter Zack. And ob8 pressure ridge for even more patk. Used red13 with base 5 star seaside collar for imperil and his matk down weapon . And used aerith with monster hunter ob6 weapon and costume for mdef and patk up and cure+all materia and cure boost materia single target. ob6 umbrella for pdef down. Stacked water resist and mdef on red13 with low hp 🎯.

Congrats bro!!!
These fights where ya win right at the end are so fun 😊👍🏽💯🔥🙏🏽
