Brill guide,love how u have dropped some of ur slots 2 make it easier 4 people who havnt got certain weapons so the player can add 2 build the stats up,fantastic work 👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much for your kind words. I always try to see if I can lower my power because everyone's account looks different and people focus on different weapons and characters, to make it more accessible. Unless battle is very hard and I can barely beat it myself.
I really like your guides, thanks! I was struggling with this fight but with the detail you gave about getting leviathan's hp below 50% on the stun phase, I was able to beat it ✌️
I can barely pass Very Hard 1 with this set up. Every weapon is the same on the front, my subweapons are different but I have similar stats with everybody. My OB6 Murasame cloud is very weak in comparison to this video, my Zack's twinkling star is base 5 and stuck at Mid potency, and his cure all is very weak too even though its a 5 star cure materia. It seems like you really need OB10 Murasame and OB6 Twinkling Star to do enough damage in time.
Not quite. My friend has ob7 Murasame and he cleared EX2 today with it and he didn't have Murasame outfit either. But his other weapons and equipment is highly overboosted so he made up for lower damage on Murasame's C ability. My Cloud doesn't do much dmg in this setup - he does just enough damage thanks to max lightning resistance debuff from Seaside Collar and pdef debuff. Taking my friend as an example, his ob7 Murasame is but he makes up for the damage with subweapons, especially having good lightning subweapons and good weapons on other characters, makes up enough that he has enough dps to pass dps check on EX2 without ob10 or the outfit. My friend's ob7 Murasame does same damage same damage as my ob10+outfit (on my ex2 setup) because he has good subweapons with Lightning potency, which I don't. As for Thunder Breach materia. It is possible but you'll need to have higher stats to make up with raw damage. Lightning Breach will require 5 uses (15 ATB) to nullify and debuff -1 instead of 8 ATB to nullify. Also Seaside Collar (or Yuffie with her weapon that decreases lightning resistance) can debuff it to -3 (max potency) while Lightning breach does only -1, so you're losing quite lot of dmg that you'll have to make up with raw stats, so have to have powerful team. As for Zack's Twinkling star - weapon has HP and phys ab potency, so this weapon on its own has nothing to boost heals no matter overboost level. You need to equip healing subweapons to get Heal R ability up. Centipede and Guard Stick are best for that because they have most amount of points (up to 62 Heal, which makes it up to 30 as sub weapon) and then stack materia with heal% on it to boost it further. As for Zack's Twinkling Star being 5*-ob5 versus ob6+, all you're missing out on is pdef&matk debuff mid versus high (on second cast), so 10% which isn't really much.

Congrats on your clear! Also thank you very much. I'm always trying to relay as much important information.
thank you as always, haven’t tried this one yet, but can go in a lot more confidently when i do
Good luck when you do try it.
The only thunder resist down I got is the lightning breach materia. I wonder if that is enough...
