    Oh and one teeny thing. You’re 100% right about Tonberries, slash and dodge, but if you dry to dodge to their backs and stay to their tail end, you’ll also dodge Karma. Suuuper helpful later since damage scales, but if you run or dodge to behind them and stay still, let Karma play out, 85% of the time you’ll completely avoid any damage throughout the entire fight. It takes a little practice, and is much harder when fighting multiple at once, but it could really save you if you need it. Hope that helps someone out there!

    Genesis uses summon materia against Zack as means to distract him and get away.

    While it is technically random, the DMW is designed to increase the 777 level-up chance the more enemies you defeat. It is practically impossible to do the 1000 Shinra grunts mission _without_ leveling up several times.

  • @johnsmith-xw7hv
    @johnsmith-xw7hv 10 месяцев назад +2

    You do level up by hitting an exp threshold. Every monster in the game gives you exp. As soon as you level up with the next few turns you will always get a 777. You are never shown how much xp you have or how much xp is needed to level or how much monsters give you. It can only be found by looking up a list that people data mined from the game. But ya you can grind xp.

    It is *sort of* explained why the Summon fights exist the way they do. After the Bahamut fight, Zack shouts: “Summons aren’t supposed to be used like this!” hinting that they’re only supposed to be used as one-off attacks like in the original ff7, but Genesis is abusing them. Not super clear but I hope it wraps your head around it 😂

    Correction on the DMW: You do level up reaching a specific EXP threshold. Technically. There are numeric exp requirements for the DMW to roll the 777. The more you go over a specific threshold, the higher the chances to roll the Level up.
    Let's say that you have 87 exp and need 90 to level up from 5 to 6. Once you reach 90 exp, the game starts to fish for the 777 roll. I don't remember the exact numbers, but let's say the base chance is 10%. If you reach 100 exp and didn't hit the roll, the chance increases to 12%, 110 goes to 14% and so on. Of course, you could reach 200 EXP (required for level 7) and still haven't hit the 777. This could easily get into a double 777 roll because you hit the previous roll for level 6 and the base 10% for level 7 in a roll.
    I think gamefaqs has a more indepth faq about the DMW chances and mechanics.

  • @futhum
    @futhum 10 месяцев назад +1

    Unless the remake has changed how level up works, leveling up in CC was never luck / gacha based - rather, the games tracks your experience points from fights won and when you achieve certain thresholds, you may "luck out" a level up, based on your current level and the "potential level" given by the exp accumulated.
    Zack's chance of leveling isn't actually "random"; the higher the difference from the potential level is from his current, the more likely the level up will show up, in a "weighted DMW result".
    Thus, exp is accounted for; we're just never shown how much do we have or need for these thresholds.

    Feels like you couldve made these fights a lot easier using equipment from quest reqards and grinding levels in the base trainer. Since levels are determined by the DMV, you couldve put on your best defensive equipment that nullified the soldiers attacks, taped down the guard button, and left the game running overnight in order to let the DMV run on its own. You can reasonably get 10-20 levels over the course of a few hours even with shitty luck
