The one line that killed me "I swear I am not trying to make Sephiroth into a Necromancer, I just want Necrotic damage and the book keeps giving me zombies." Totally worth it.
@@zirrix4795 It says on both of SCAG's race-exclusive subclasses that you can ask the DM to lift the restriction, and builds on this channel have run with permission-based options before iirc.
"He's not a Fallen Aasimar because they get two wings" Ironically enough, another reason why that wouldn't work is because, despite having only 1 wing, Sephiroth is able to fly, which Fallen Aasimar's can't do due to their wings being mere bones.
Honestly considering Advent Children in the whole reunions thing I can see the zombie thing being useful. Just say that the people infected have geostigma and if they die they become a remnant of sephiroth and can in theory be used to resurrect him if your character dies
@@tulokthebarbrarian2033 You've also played Dark Souls 3, which I recently learned is actually pretty tough. Can't wait for your build on Super Meat Boy.
"Sephiroth has the tendency to cut through a health bar like a hot knife through butter." Something tells me Tulok was thinking of Kingdom Hearts when he wrote that line.
one thing that i thought up was if you wanted something like sins harvest you could use power word kill instead of meteor swarm if you just want to mess up one individual person
I'm slightly disappointed that Steppin' on the One Winged Beach wasn't the second intro song. Other than that, this video was a real treat. Half an hour of hearing Tulok talk about D&D
8:00 I wanna point out that its been ruled you can cast spells with a two handed weapon since you only attack with two hands, but hold it in general with 1 hand, apparently. Its weird. You still want Warcaster because its really freakin loaded.
2 handed weapons dont prevent spellcasting. You're able to "hold," it in one hand while performing the somatic components, then putting the second hand back on. Dual Wielding, Sword and Boarding, or wielding a weapon while holding onto something (typically a rope/ladder/rail or other such thing keeping you in place) are typically what prevent somatic components. Still. The rest of Warcaster is really nice for this build, that it's still worth the investment.
@@malachimclean3638 from the PHB Errata: "Two-Handed (p. 147). This property is relevant only when you attack with the weapon, not when you simply hold it. " Essentially means you need a hand to hold it, and a free hand to attack with it. So holding something, or otherwise continually using your hand to do something will prevent you from attacking. But the gestures used for somatic components only last the casting time, during which you arent attacking anyway.
Came here to say the same thing. This was also confirmed by Jeremy Crawford. Between the Eldritch Knight and Hexblade I've played, I triple checked lol.
Came to the comments to find this or add it myself. That's also why the more strength-based classes come with Javelins in their standard equipment and why they should always keep them on hand instead of just selling them or giving them away.
"An IKEA paladin" Because Cloud has a few screws loose? Extra attack is actually amazing for Cloud because of the 4x attack materia Cloud has the 2nd highest magic stat in the game(Shishkabob girl is 1st), so having sorcerer levels is amazing.
Last time I was this early, I was being born. I'm thinking Eldritch Knight for this one, or maybe a Fighter+Sorcerer. I'm loving these subtle jokes, by the way. Level VII, Near Far Etc. Great content. Also, HOT DAMN.
Rewatching this video while I wait for Sakurai's presentation of Sephiroth. And also just because I rewatch this video like once a week at least. Go go gadget algorithm!
Poetic that sephiroth and cloud were put in the smash bro’s playlist, Tulok can see the future. He has to put the hollow knight build in the smash bro’s playlist too, it might just work
For the record, if you’re using a Greatsword, you don’t need war caster to use spells. You can carry the weapon with one hand, just not attack with it, so you’re free to let go with one hand, cast your spell, and then pick it back up properly.
One thing I wanted to point out (since I'm playing a bladesong wizard right now) is that they actually gain proficiency with light armor at level 2 so you actually won't need Mage Armor past first level :)
I'm personally a fan of Steel Wind Strike. I dunno how it compares to other 5th level spells, but it's easily one of the most anime spells in the game, and if you're hasted you get your 2 base attacks, and 5 hits from Steel wind. it's a stretch, but it's very nearly an octoslash. nearly.
I don't mind Divine Soul Sorcerer, it just feels like a LOT of builds on this channel either center around Fighter/Sorcerer/Paladin combos or are near-pure class builds. I don't think that's particularly a knock against you, but more the content you're covering: People tend to request and vote for protagonists of fantasy series, which tend to BE Swordbois that often combine it with magic.
Nice, nice, nice. Could easily go in his spellbook; Tulok only usually does "minimum prepared per day" when suggesting wizard spells. It functions really similarly to the Smash version of Octaslash as well. Not that we knew that back when you posted the comment of course. Mind predicting the Lotto for me? ;)
Ya know Tulok, I'm using your Tifa build (It's right in my comfort zone) in my latest campaign. And just discovered that my friend is using your Cloud build. Gave me a good chuckle
The fake out at the end of Cloud's build was beautiful!! Love your work; keep at it!! EDIT: I wound up using Rune Knight since putting Runes on equip felt like materia; I teetered between sorcerer and paladin for second class but ultimately took both for: Attack + Action Surge + Haste + Quickened Boom = Pseudo Omnislash
Man, I love these videos but I have a small request. Can you add like a small thing at the end that shows off the ability scores + learned feats and whatnot? It may seem like a lot, I dunno, but I kinda find it difficult to keep track of changes with ability scores upgrades and all that. Thanks
You probably don't remember this, but I vividly remember you replying to a comment of mine on a previous video where I requested Cloud, say that when FFVII comes out, things are gonna get Cloudy. Now that this video is out, I'm pretty excited to try him out. Thanks a ton!
"already did 2 final fantasy characters this week, don't want to over do it" the remake is released tomorrow... its the PERFECT time to do more of them!
I'm no Final Fantasy buff, but I heard somewhere that Sephiroth has powerful illusion magic. Since wizards learn two new spells every level and can add more to their spellbook with scrolls and such, I reckon it wouldn't be too hard to get spells like Hallucinatory Terrain and Mirage Arcane (sure they have long casting times, but whatevs). Also great job on the extra long video.
Love Sephiroth being a bladesinger. Sword devastation and topped off magic is how you do it. Also loved that mini surprise where the vid wasn't truly over because 'be surprised and tremble!'
My two most beloved hobbies in one video? Are you trying to get me to propose to you, man? Can't wait for your Tifa video on Tuesday! More than 20 years later, she stole my heart yet again.
I love playing necromancers because once you get to higher level spell slots death becomes irrelevant to you because you have all the tools you'd ever need to bring everyone but yourself back to life and dying isn't even an issue once you get the spells that can bring you back to life
If you wanted the fusion sword and wanted to keep the build mostly fighter, you could take cloud of daggers instead of either spiritual weapon or spider climb. "Daggers" might be underselling the swords a little but they're smaller than the full sword so I think they count
Just want to say that much as Tulok and everyone gets bored with Variant Human, Cloud and Sephiroth are humans injected with alien blood so they are LITERALLY Variant Humans. Which is why, of course, he went with Elves.
Just watched this, awesome character builds, definitely will reference this for my FF inspired campaign. Also, love your humor with the calm voice, just has its own great charm to it.
24:28 is my favorite part. ("I'm not trying to make Sephiroth a necromancer; I just want necrotic damage, but the book keeps giving me zombies- it's not my fault.")
As I've come to just habitually click on the video I didn't check the time. So when I say I truly yelled out loud when the second half kicked in, I mean it. You Sir Are A Gentleman and A Scholar. Also thank you for mechanically building my new BBEG.
ok, I think my favorite part of this video is the impossible to reconcile traits (cloud's sword and ability to use it effectively and sephiroth's asamir like qualities but being whole with a single wing) being backhandedly acknowledged with witty transitions.
Could you do Lelouch vi Britannia from Geas? I'm using this as an excuse to get you to watch Geas seriously Tulok, watch Geas Sorry for the spam though XD
Enchantment wizard, he's brilliant and the charm features are basically spot on. Plus he's never really good at combat outside strategy. Sad to say he's basically just a low lvl wizard in a world of low magic.
@@joelsasmad if nobody else had magic you don't need to wipe their memories though. It was for plot devices in the show given the context plots. If you can make anyone braindead or charmed (normal humans are explained as having average stats around 7 so even at low levels a 15/16 int wizard is already going to have a highly unlikely to be beaten spell save). I was using the same logic as the video here in that DnD doesn't have a spell for everything or an* ability for everything in 5e yet and if you really want to have everything you're likely playing a >20 character who also has a ton of extra stuff that the character basis doesn't. For example there's no world ending meteor spell in DnD so you have to make due in the Sephiroth build. In other words like I said before for this idea in a low magic setting like the initial anime setting a low lvl wizard is already sufficient, lvl 6 is the highest before you're basically overpowered for the setting anyway and going to the point of memory wipe for the class feature at 14 also let's you essentially be like a Kyuubi from Naruto or the Espada from Bleach with Delayed Blast Fireball and at that point why bother with mind control or mechs?
This is absolutely amazing, hands down the best one yet. Super glad to see some iconic JRPG characters getting covered. If I could make a request it'd be Ryuu from the Breath Of Fire series, with BoF 3 or 4 being the most complex and BoF: Dragon Quarter possibly being the most interesting

Any chance you'll make Kain and Raziel from the Legacy of Kain series of video games?
I think I'm going crazy because I could've sworn I seen you already make a Tifa, Sephiroth and Cloud videos.
ok, I think my favorite part of this video is the impossible to reconcile traits (cloud's sword and ability to use it effectively and sephiroth's asamir like qualities but being whole with a single wing) being backhandedly acknowledged with witty transitions.
Could you do Lelouch vi Britannia from Geas?
I'm using this as an excuse to get you to watch Geas
seriously Tulok, watch Geas
Sorry for the spam though XD
Lelouch would be awesome to do.
Anas Bahi I’m thinking master mind rogue and a lore bard for tons of expertise and mind control spells. Mass suggest for the win.
Enchantment wizard, he's brilliant and the charm features are basically spot on. Plus he's never really good at combat outside strategy. Sad to say he's basically just a low lvl wizard in a world of low magic.
@@joelsasmad if nobody else had magic you don't need to wipe their memories though. It was for plot devices in the show given the context plots. If you can make anyone braindead or charmed (normal humans are explained as having average stats around 7 so even at low levels a 15/16 int wizard is already going to have a highly unlikely to be beaten spell save).
I was using the same logic as the video here in that DnD doesn't have a spell for everything or an* ability for everything in 5e yet and if you really want to have everything you're likely playing a >20 character who also has a ton of extra stuff that the character basis doesn't.
For example there's no world ending meteor spell in DnD so you have to make due in the Sephiroth build. In other words like I said before for this idea in a low magic setting like the initial anime setting a low lvl wizard is already sufficient, lvl 6 is the highest before you're basically overpowered for the setting anyway and going to the point of memory wipe for the class feature at 14 also let's you essentially be like a Kyuubi from Naruto or the Espada from Bleach with Delayed Blast Fireball and at that point why bother with mind control or mechs?
When we asked for Cloud we actually meant a cumulonimbus, but this is fine too i guess.
This is absolutely amazing, hands down the best one yet. Super glad to see some iconic JRPG characters getting covered. If I could make a request it'd be Ryuu from the Breath Of Fire series, with BoF 3 or 4 being the most complex and BoF: Dragon Quarter possibly being the most interesting
Double trouble, great video and much appreciated right now
