Thank you!!
Nice work man.... I havent felt that ATB Assist was that useful but maybe i wasnt using correctly
Thank you for enjoying these!
It's best to have ATB assist on characters you're going to be spamming lots of abilities with aka your main. The boost you get from it can come in super clutch!
You are simply incorrect about the damage of triple slash compared to braver, especially when the enemy is staggered, braver does way more damage and does it quicker, triple slash is a trash clearing move.
You can equip multiple versions of the same materia linked with different support materia. For example, equip three fire materia, link one with MP absorb, one with HP absorb and one with magnify. This makes firaga a free AOE nuke that heals you.
I love this, another commenter suggested it earlier. I tried it out and it's so much fun the diversity in this game!
Thank you!!! I was wondering about this.
I want to try all of the combinations but I'm only at chapter 9 and I'm dying because I can only link like 1 Materia per character and that's it.
Do NOT dial it back! This is EXACTLY what we need. This is the BEST gameplay breakdown video for this game yet imo.
Give us ALL the depth and nuance. I want to know everything! thank you so much for taking the time for this video!
Phew I'm glad to hear that because this tifa guide I'm making is going to be willllld she's doing crazy shit in this one haha
Triple Slash's damage trails off when it hits the same enemy more than once, so it actually does less damage to a single target than Braver. You can see at 3:15 that Triple Slash did ~2800 damage, while and Braver did 3240. However, what's neat is that the game considers enemy parts to be separate targets. For example, if you're fighting a Cutter, which has a main body and two targetable arms, Triple Slash will hit each arms and then the main body--ramping up damage with each hit--for massive overall damage.
I did not think about that with the enemies body parts that's a really good tip! Sorry yeah I had the triple slash damage falling off in my notes but for whatever reason I skipped over it for the clip haha. I mainly use braver on staggered enemies over infinity End it can rack up way more damage. I cover this in my latest video about the tips if you don't mind checking that out. Has some interesting stuff in there
Great video, man!
2 things to add for Cloud:
1. Mythril Saber has the ability TRADE OFF that lets you regain MP when taking big damage. Invaluable during boss fights in Hard Mode when you can’t use items and benches to recover MP.
2. The DISORDER ability lets you keep on wailing on your enemies non-stop as you can use it to cancel any of your basic attacks except the combo finishers. What I do is start up my string of basic attacks (1-4 attacks), then activate DISORDER to switch modes while doing big damage, do another string of basic attacks to fill another ATB bar, then activate DISORDER again. Rinse and repeat. With proper timing with the DISORDER activation, you can cancel enemy moves, punisher parry enemy melee attacks, all while filling your ATB at the same time.
Cloud is my crazy melee + debuffer (poison, sleep, breach, etc)
I love how flexible the builds can be in this game!
Super diverse gameplay everyone build is different and I love it
And now waiting for the advanced combat guide on Tifa.
I just might have to bring that one next 😁
I'll be there when it's out.
See you then friend!
Tifa is pretty much a damage dealer. She's all about the ATB, speed up, damage, ATK. Uppercut and Dive Kick cancel for the win.
@@BltzZ A few points the original Tifa video missed.
-Deadly dodge gains the combo extentions from unbridled strength in the same way that overpower does. Making it a great materia for Tifa.
-Square and triangle only do the same thing when unbridled strength isn't charged. Square always does uppercut so if you want to uppercut without unloading omnistrike and rising fall, that's when you use square instead.
-Some consider Tifa a glass cannon, but she's the most mobile character in the party, making it easiest for her to avoid a lot of moves. Add the parry materia onto this, and she can easily avoid things that other party members have to block, and can even avoid some unblockable things that are very hard for other party members to avoid, like umbral strikes from Bahamut.
-Focused strike. It can be used to safely hit enemies that have an auto counter, because of how much evasion is built into it. But the main point is that unlike "focused" abilities from other characters, Tifa's builds atb when it hits. So much so that it essentially doesn't cost ATB to use. It's pretty great if you put the ATB assist materia on Tifa for when you're using this too, that way when an enemy is pressured not only can Tifa spam "focused" strikes, so can your other characters. I haven't really tested to much to see if there are any conditions for the ATB gain when using focused strike, like maybe the enemy needs to be pressured, or maybe Tifa needs to be at level 3 unbridled strength.
-True Strike. I know you already know how it's used, because you mentioned it in this video. Some people think she needs the Stagger ATB materia to best use this, but I disagree. If she starts with no ATB you can still use the full combo, you just have to unload levels of unbridled strength to build ATB for true strike. Something like Rise and Fall > True strike > Omnistrike > True strike. If you do it this way, you can also use uppercut > dive kick as a nice finisher as long as she started with about half a bar of ATB.
-Chi Trap. There are enemies that normally Tifa is kind of bad at fighting, but Chi trap changes that. For example the basic dog enemies, normally Cloud is much better at fighting them, but if you use Chi trap on them they become pretty helpless. Same for riot troopers. Also if you trap 3 or 4 enemies with Chi Trap, consider it a good time to use star shower. Another good time to use star shower is if the boss you're fighting presents a big opening when you don't have unbridled strength charged up for a beefed up overpower. Chi trap is almost essential for the hardmode boss fight with Tifa and Barret, to clear up the adds.
Cloud has some cool interactions with parry materia.
First and most important, while in punisher mode if you parry dodge (R1+dodge) you don't exit punisher mode. Being able to punisher parry, then dodge parry away from enemies that might multi hit after the punisher parry (like cutters) and then keep wailing away in punisher mode is very nice. Also, this dodge parry will block ranged attacks even in punisher mode.
Second, while not locked on to an enemy if you dodge parry and then immediately basic attack cloud's attack combo will skip the first two hits in both modes. I couldn't find much of a use for this but its neat. Other characters seem not to have this interaction with parry.
Awesome stuff man I love how they included unique characteristics that go beyond the character designs..but the way they play and fight haha
Thanks so much for sharing, this information is awesome!
actually, using the mythril saber, element + element of choice, magic up materia. etc. The normal melee damage on targets is roughly the same as with the hardedge. And using blade burst on a staggered enemy will do around 7k damage (seen it hit up to 9k with double magic up) for 1 ATB. Were Infinity's End does 9999 for 2 ATB. The cast time for 2 blade bursts is about the same as 1 IE and BB hits more then 1 target. I've finished the game with mythril saber on hard mode because its plain OP as fuck. as it also massively increases your magic damage and healing.
Great comment right here I definitely wanna try out your build! Yes blade beam would be a much better option with the 1atb charge versus 2atb for infinity end! Another viewer said he's gotten braver to hit 8k too so against single target that's perfect to rotate in there
Dude that’s brilliant!
This, im almost at the end of my hard play through and ive been using mythril saber magic build a lot, magic is just OP for most encounters
How do you manage your MP in hard mode with this magic focused build?
@@itskko I Auto attack. Barely used magic only on boss fights, first strike + triple slash is mostly enough for every standard fight. And if I need heals, just spread out the heals between the party before you smash some boxes. Mythril saber also has 50% Mana Regen in combat Wich really helps.
Even after I got the platinum trophy for this game, I still get to learn more cool stuff. Great video keep up the good work bro
Yo that's awesome! I'm going to finish my hard mode play thru this week via live stream and I'll shoot for that platinum too. I appreciate that also bro I'm bring that Barret guide next 😄
Right! beat game on hard without too much sweat just to get on RUclips and find out I actually suck lol
Haha na man not at all! There are plenty of beast mode players out there but most of the stuff is memorized and scripted haha I have plenty of moments where things don't go my way and I get absolutely destroyed! Hehe btw the Barret, aerith and pride and joy super easy guide is out :)
I'm still working on hard mode currently going through chapter 17
Great video! Best FFVIIR videos on RUclips! These latest advanced guides upping my understanding, even after playing for over 30 hrs! 👍
That's awesome that I'm still surprising you guys! I'm happy to keep bringing more for you all! That's my goal
Love the vid! Really helped me out, this was the best guide ive seen for Cloud and u really did your research theres nothing missing or wrong about this, thanks.
Hey man thanks for that and always supporting the channel. I tried my best to cover everything, if I did forget something no worries I'd love for someone to comment so we can work on making these the best they possibly can be!
The Materia "Enemy Skill" scales with magic stats in this game and works really great with a cloud mage build. I think Enemy Skill and Blade Burst also benefit from the 20% extra damage while having full mp from the mythril weapon and both do not cost any MP to use. I like to combine Enemy Skill with a HP absorb materia for extra healing as well. You can also get a lot MP back by linking the magnify ability and the MP absorb to the same elemental materia. Can build some fun mage characters this way.
That's an interesting setup and I'm so glad you commented this! I'm going to experiment with this today man thank you so much! I love these kinds of comments
I prefer Enemy Skill on Tifa instead
Yes Elemental Materia on Aerith + Elements then add a HP Absorb + Elements (same) just allows a nuker to stay healed from the damage they do. Cloud also benefits from this as well but Tifa also could with Enemy Skill + HP Absorb for attacks and proximity to enemy healing them for every attack with the Aura skill that does ice damage but heals them every time. It does make for some unusual builds.
This is the only action combat system I've seen where enemies can knock you out of actions but the developers actually provided you with a way to deal with it other than just memorizing the fine-muscle-movement-tells of all ten billion different enemy types. ATB Pause is the greatest thing to ever happen to action mechanics.
Yup! If you feel like you are not going to make it in time to Parry or block you can go into the command menu and select parry or take time to recollect your battle strategy! It also looks absolutely beautiful seeing everything in combat slowed down To a micro second
It's the reason I use counterstance from command instead of shortcut, my reaction time is pitifully slow so the extra time helps.
See and that's one more thing about this game and the effort they put into it. You have so many options to choose from on how to play
Same, I included this as a tip in today's video!
I’m praying this combat system is mimicked by other RPG’s, it’s too perfect
Dude your videos are making my playthrough so enjoyable. Thank you for taking the time! Keep up the good work! Subscribed
That's all I want is to make sure you guys have the most fun while playing this kick-ass game! Thank you so much for joining the channel. Stay safe during these hard times
Very helpful, I knew most but was on the fence about some other things which you helped clear up 👍 subscribed.
Welcome to the channel! I'm happy to hear the content helped you out I always appreciate that! Working on the Barret guide right now then aerith should be soon after :)
13:05 is the best part of this video. I absolutely felt this in my soul.
Also we have the same shortcuts! Thanks for the video, I learned a few things that will really help me. Just started Hard Mode and I'm in chapter 3 so far!
Yooo were we seperated at birth? You're my shortcuts twin? Haha that's awesome man I'm really glad you're enjoying the game and these videos!
Mine are almost identical too lol. Only difference is triple slash and blade burst are reversed
I can't bring myself to not using triple slash to start off fights haha it's so much fun seeing cloud just zip around
I thought I was the only one playing it for months now but then I stumbled into one of your videos and now I am your subscriber. Thanks for all of these amazing builds
Happy to hear you are enjoying the content and I'm happy to have you on board!
This was really helpful! Thanks a lot! Im looking forward to the other guides! :)
I'm happy to hear that man welcome to the channel! I'm working on them asap today to try and release two more this week
This video is much appreciated, gave me some great advice. Thanks brother.
Happy to have you along for the ride friend glad you enjoyed!
One thing to mention about Discord, the aftercast is consistently very low for both versions allowing you to deal out a continuous stream of attacks when chaining it with full combos. This also synergizes with a maxed out ATB Assist as you'll be filling up their gauges faster than if you switched characters and filled them separately. I used this all throughout Hard Mode with maxed Pray materia and Magic Up. Never had a problem with MP.
Fantastic quality on this guide, thank you so much!
Thank you very much!
Fantastic video dude. Thanks for getting this out!
I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it! Working on the tifa advanced guide later today. That one is going to be special
nice man, ive been waiting for this, very good build man,, very useful, i love how they still made cloud an all rounder like in the original,
Super all rounder! He can be built in anyway and there are just so many materia combinations to try out I absolutely love it
I redownloaded FF7R in anticipation of the next chapter. This guide has really helped me get a better understanding of the material system. 👍🏽👍🏽
Great guide man, just earned yourself a new sub! 👍🏾
Welcome to the channel brother happy to hear you enjoy the content I can't wait to bring you more. Be sure to check out the stagger pressure video as that one is a game changer!
Very informative! Can't wait for the next part.
Most definitely! Tifa is going to be next and I may release some fun things you can do with magnify and quick quality of life tips for the game
Great content and info!!! Getting better and learning with these tips!!!!
Another great guide bro. Can’t wait for the rest.
Hey man thank you so much it feels amazing to hear the support on this! Me too I can't wait to bring you guys some more guides
Claps*
I watch so many different ff7 remake tubers for anything FF related. I have to say these breakdowns are amazing. Edits and clear descriptions. This video took a lot of work. Subscribed 👌
Thank you so much man that really and truly means a lot to me and I'm thankful you guys are still finding this content helpful! If you wanna be blown away(literally) check out the instant limit break build! The infinite health build and the unlimited atb build too! Those are by far game changes for ff7 remake
Great videos! I've learned a few things that helped with the toughest fights
Always happy to help! It just makes me glad you guys are enjoying the content! Tifa advanced guide is coming soon
This is the video that got me to sub. Amazing work. Can't wait to dig in the previous videos
You're absolutely going to love the recent stagger pressure video then! Welcome to the channel I'm happy to have you on board! Tifas advanced guide is coming soon
Great stuff in this video. Well done. 👍
You really can't go wrong with trying out any of these set ups and strategies.
One thing that I did though was to have the ATB assist and first strike ability on Tifa. This allows her to very quickly use her Unbridled Strength x2 quickly and give the other characters a boost to ATB ASAP.
Then switch to Barrett and use his Overcharge, which is always full at the start of the battle. That should give him close to 2 ATB which you can use for Lifesaver, Haste, Barrier, Regen, or whatever other buffs you want to prioritize. Tifa will have her character specific buffs maxed for her damage output and the other characters will have ATB to spend right away.
Yup! That's what I alternate between! It's almost like the atb assist was design for tifa specifically! Right? I'm happy to hear you like the content bro! Tifas guide is coming next too
@@BltzZ Nice. Looking forward to it. Make sure to mention how Tifa's Focused Strike ability has the built in evade/jump back at the start of it and how combining that with deadly dodge and parry turns her into a hit- and-run damage dealing machine. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the best way to use that character. Definitely the most "action game" type character in this hybrid combat system. I can't wait to see what they do with Red XIII and Vincent. Those characters could be a blast!
@@dudemcguy1227 I can't not mention that about tifa! You got it dude. I'm excited to see how yuffie and cid plays. I main dragoon in ff14 and cid probably can put in massive damage!
Great tips! Definitely helped make combat better and more fun!
I'm super excited to hear that! If I can change the game up for the better for you guys. That means the world to me!
i m replaying the game and I m still looking at your guide 1 year later. Nice work man.
Thanks dude enjoy!
Outstanding content once again BltzZ!
Always happy to bring you the best!
Amazing work here! I noticed counterstance was kinda broken when it parried EVERYTHING but never explored it... because it can really turn the game into a parry fest. However after seeing this I'm def going to try weaving it in to my current build. You're combat is super clean and solo Cloud absolutely needs counterstance to be optimal. You're also on the short list of people I have seen use ATB shortcuts correctly. I've seen a lot of people use them solely because they hate the command menu, which then makes them brute force everything instead of taking time to analyze what the hell is happening.
Edit: Also some of the slowmos I've seen in this game are incredible. Like I don't believe it's even real sometimes
Thanks for the kind words man I try my best to up my game and bring the best content I can for you all! The slowdown is so beautiful it often make mistakes because I sit there and watch it the whole time haha. We have to keep weaving in new attacks and never leave teammates with full ATB just standing doing nothing!
Great video homie. I appreciate this ff7r advanced combat guide. It will really improve my game and enjoyment for sure. I like how in depth you go to break down not only what to use but why as well. I am looking forward to another video bro. POG CHAMP!
I'm happy hearing you say that! I was worried I wasn't as in-depth or that I may be lacking in other areas. But to hear you thoroughly enjoyed it and learn ALOT makes me feel accomplished. Stay tuned for tifas advanced guide :)
@@BltzZ will do homie
Man, this is a great guide, thanks for making it!
Always happy to hear! I'm glad you love it stay tuned for the tifa advanced guide!
Great videos man! I've been playing this game since release and your content is really well explained and easy to follow. +1 subscriber
Always happy to hear this! Really glad to see the content has been helping so many people out. Welcome to the channel!
Super helpful guide!
For hard mode I would highly recommend for each member to have the revive materia since you are not allowed to use items, I would also recommend have the prayer materia on any plays that has a high magic stat. It saves a whole lot of mp which is very important as you can only recover from boxes and it heals the whole team. Only downside is that it takes 2 ATB bars. The first strike materia is very useful but I would definitely not recommend it for boss battles since it's good for only the start of the fight. I would recommend to replace healing for prayer for some characters but still keep heal for emergency, and revive is definitly a must have for everyone. I really like your reviews and lookfoward to the next one. Hopefully after some time there will be a hard mode materia guide. (Looking forward to that too)
Don't worry you keep suggesting amazing video idea and I won't have you disappointed! I like to have chakra on everyone as well. Glad I found the third one haha. Just dropped a tips video that you guys should check out!
barret builds atb so fast and only needs 1 hp+ fpr 9999 that he can practically spam cast prayer
Support Barret is no joke. I have 3 builds for Barret in my new advanced Barret guide coming tomorrow! I'm having way too much fun with his melee build tho!
This is a great video and really got me rethinking counterstance. I never use it because I go full aggro but now I might need to reevaluate. Also side node my cloud is BLM all day and on hard the mythril I feel goes further than twin stinger. You get more mp Regen and less cast on attack spells
Yup the bonuses and stats you get on the Mythril blade really outweighs the differences from twin stinger. Twin stingers main saving grace is that it's balanced with attack and magic while also having reprieve and lots of MP. Other than that especially if you are focusing on magic then Mythril is the one to go for since you get crazy magic damage and reduce MP on spells and MP Regen. Thanks man I'm glad you enjoyed this! Tifas advanced guide is up next I hope you guys are ready because this one is going to be crazy!
keep it up! loving these type videos!
You're welcome! The tifa advanced guide is killing it right now I can't wait to finish the Barret one next
Love this ! Thanks again mate x
Of course you are welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed this! Stay tuned for the tifa advanced guide for tomorrow
Awesome guide, and make me appreciate the combat design more,
The flexibility of choice allow us to use multiple playstyle,
cant wait to try out several type of build,
I'm thinking after I beat hard mode to replay the game using a mage cloud only build to spice things up. I plan to have multiple playthroughs for this game haha I waited so many years for this game
I was subscriber 10k! You were at 9.99k the. I hit the button and it's now 10k. Congrats, thanks for great content man. Glad to see someone cover his parry right, too many people dont know how great it is. Paired with fury ring you can keep his punisher buff up all the time and leads to big dps gains.
Keep it up, congrats again!
Shawn I'll never forget you! Welcome to the channel man I'm glad you joined on a lucky big number but even more happy you joined us for this crazy ff7 ride! The Tifa advanced guide just dropped too! Be sure to check that one out :)
I did! Once you wrap up the character guides for barrett and aerith I would love to see some hard mode builds or some good party combos. I'm starting to experiment with that stuff for the more difficult vr matches, it would be awesome to see your builds.
I'll definitely be doing that!
Man this is from 2 years ago huh guess I'm late playing the game.. I personally just get into FF7 Remake and this cool tricks helps, thanks man!
You are awesome, thanks for the video. Can’t wait for the others!
Hearing that you like it makes me so happy. Idk why but I was worried about this one haha I just wanted to not leave anything important out
For some reason I am having a hard time getting fluent with the combat in this game.
Entertaining, Informative, high quality videos like you are putting out are a huge help. I always learn something new.
Hey man I'm happy to help always, it takes a bit for everyone so I wouldn't worry too much about it, I find myself not switching often sometimes and other times I'm on point always mixing in attacks and atb haha. Once you get the colliseum and more VR missions it should help up your understanding a bit more. Chapter 9 is where my combat knowledge expanded like crazy because of the colliseum
This is so great! Thanks man
Christian be sure to check out the other advanced character guides I have. ESPECIALLY the infinite health Barret build for both ranged and melee. It's mind-blowing stuff really! I also uploaded another cloud video today too
Good guide man..No BS and straigth to the point Tifa is my favorite character but I always main cloud..I also abuse Triple Slash and Counterstance like you do. Thanks for the tips specially the ATB assist this help me alot.
That's awesome to hear man tifas guide is most definitely up next I can't wait to bring you guys some of the crazy shit she can do it blows my mind how she hasn't been in a fighting game like Tekken yet haha.
@@BltzZ yeah I already watched all your beginners guide and I learned alot with Tifa's basic moves, really looking forward for the advance guide. For Aerith and Barret too. Thanks again man you really helped me alot im on chapter 17 hard mode but I want to repeat all over using your guides lol
It's a totally different game once you understand the mechanics and how characters abilities work. The materia combinations makes me wanna try out 4 different play throughs lol
Great guide. I agree about finding new things for character/materia abilities despite two playthroughs- I honestly didn't know counterstance could block ranged and magic attacks, definitely couldve used that in hard mode lol.
Another thing I didnt realize til near the end of my hard-mode run, Elemental Materia on Armor is so OP, especially maxed out. It basically turns extremely hard boss battles into a joke. Some of the hard mode sim fights you're happy when they cast their ultimate ability- instead of 6000 damage, you get healed for 6000.
Seriously debating another playthrough just because the combat system is so fun with every character but bc you have to rapid cycle heroes for abilities and avoid aggro of bosses on hard mode, felt like I didn't really play enough with any of them.
Im thinking of the same thing as well after hard mode I wanna replay with crazy builds and see how I can tweak and master certain ones too!
Feedback: This video is why I subbed. Loved your Cloud build and will be using it for my Hard Mode playthrough
Hey man I appreciate hearing you say that. You're going to conquer hard mode! Just be sure to switch up materias to capitalize on enemies weaknesses
Great video! Very helpful.
Thanks for that I'm glad to hear you liked it! I'll bring more videos on different builds as well soon
Can’t wait for your Barrett and Aerith advance guide
Putting that work into it!
I got bahamut last night after grinding in battle arena for hours super happy now lol
Long well informed videos are my favorite. I would just include time stamps for the impatient people and a format so they can get their information the way the want. I like the gameplay I see so long videos are what I want.
Hey that's awesome to hear man yes I'm going to get the timestamps rolling once I get home!
Wow, lets see this amazing content !
Haha oh man I did my best to make it as informative and in depth as possible! Wanted to make sure we covered all bases. If not I'd love to know what we missed or should have added so I can followup with individual recommended builds
awesome video as always bro!!! Counterstance is way overpowered!
One of the most fun I've had in a long time is just abusing this move against enemies back to back and then reparrying with punisher because they think its their turn to attack lol
BltzZ your FFVII channel is the best!
Mu battle shortcuts for Cloud are EXACTLY like yours hahah
Great minds think alike XD it just feels perfect and what a action game would normally have it set for by default I swear
Awesome video man :)
Thank you! I think you'll definitely love the Barret and Tifa advanced guides I have uploaded then :). Those are amaaaazing especially the Barret melee build combo. Stay tuned tomorrow at 11am eastern the Aerith guide is going to be uploaded!
Disorder is great as an interrupting attack. It takes a lot of enemies out of casting animation and special abilities. I always had this hot keyed as L1+Triangle since it takes you in and out of Punisher mode.
Also of note, Infinitys End and Braver do more damage on Staggered Enemies. If the stagger Guage drains slowly, use Infinitys End for insane damage. If you have less time before the enemy comes out of stagger, use Braver. Triple Strike is great for ending regular battles quickly or hitting multiple enemies.
Lastly, for those needing help on the Whack a Box game, use the Iron Sword and Deadly Dodge Materia. Deadly Dodge works during the challenge and costs no ATB. The weapon you use will let you use that ability in the challenge. Iron Blade with the Triple Slash skill makes Whack a Box so much easier. I've actually cleared the whole area with time to spare using this technique.
You just saved me in hard mode thanks man, video was awesome too
You are absolutely welcome bro! Be sure to check out the tifa advanced guide out now :) it's my best one yet!
Love the videos. Keep it up
I won't let you down! Thanks for enjoying the content
Just sub due to the video style/content. I haven't seen your past video but I enjoyed this flow of information to answer your question. Thanks
Man I'm happy to hear that! All future videos be following the same consistency of the tifa and cloud advanced :)
Perfect, prefer it longer to get into details. I like that you provided options for people with different playstyles or those who want to do additional playthrough's and play around with builds. I wouldn't personally make a Mage Tifa for example, but every character has a magic focused weapon, so you can if you want. Include timestamps, but otherwise the format is good! Looking forward to the Goddess of Death aka Tifa xD. She doesn't need a giant sword to slaughter everything in sight, just a pair of *gloves* lmao
I'm glad you found this video helpful friend! It was fun making this and I was worried on how it would be received. Glad to see that its been a success! Working on tifa next as we speak!
Amazing video, so well explained, even though I'm on my 3rd play through i still found it useful 👍
YOOOOO that's awesome man! I'm going to be streaming my hard mode and second playthru this week sometime. There are so many build combinations in this game it's so hard to make just one video man jeez what did they do to us haha
Haa so true, just so much going on, so many ways to play, it's mind blowing. I'll definitely catch you're hard mode play through, again great vid, and keep it up 👌
You meant you ffvii remake 2 times already???
I have not but I think @GurpsSingh01 has beaten it 2 times. I'm collecting all my items needed before I go for the hard mode on stream with you all
Thanks for the guide
You're welcome! Thanks for sticking with the channel
I do almost the same set up on shortcuts but I use Disorder instead of Brave Burst. Triple Slash really trivializes a lot of the early chapters in the game with First Strike materia so abusing it is great.
Fun fact with disorder: You bypass the short ready animation that cloud does when you swap to punisher or operator respectively, making it extremely good for managing stance switching in game on staggered opponents. Disorder works best on targets that can be pressured easily or on already staggered opponents to maximize damage output, especially with Haste and ATB Boosters, as you'll have no downtime between attacks if done right.
That's a great use for disorder! I also read if can interrupt certain spells as well kind of disappointed I read that after the fact but oh well. Great minds think alike so we have similar shortcuts!
Subbed! Great content!
Thank you! Be sure sure to watch out for the tifa advanced guide coming soon! Also just dropped a helpful tips video and stagger pressure video
Great Video Bro.. Congratz
I appreciate the kind words and am glad you love the content. More coming soon! Tifa advanced guide is pushing through
you actually chose the song i recommendend!!! :D
Yup i got you! I forgot this song was in the game i only had to do the pushup and squats once but i remember when i first heard them I loveeeeed it! So thank you again
Thank you!
Not at all, thank you! Im glad you're loving the content. Stay tuned for the tifa advanced guide
Love this game
Stuck with buster sword my normal playthrough and had cloud my all around red mage brawler
now doing a hard mode run, and replaying for fun experimenting
Enjoy man it's a lot of fun when you got the right materia build. If you wanna absolutely break the game I recommend checking out the instant limit break build we have. Also the infinite health build. You can just troll every fight and boss with it haha
Cloud is "No U" the character
Haha counter stance and parry all day!
I wound up using Hardedge for most of my playthrough because I always give Cloud the elemental materia for the fights where he is on his own and can use all the extra damage he can get. The elemental materia's damage scaling to physical stats rather than magic meant it was better for getting those weakness bonuses in solo battles with Hardedge, particularly good for when Cloud needs to shred through mobs of Shinra goons or mechs and can just alternate between fire or lightning for the elemental bonus alone.
You and me both haha I love hardedges design too so it's an easy choice for me with cloud. I have a sick Barret melee build in his advanced guide as well as cool deadly dodge combo weaves for tifa in hers too. If you liked what you saw in the cloud guide I guarantee you those two guides will blow your mind
The cool thing is, since Cloud's stats are good at everything, same as they were in the OG, you don't even have to choose between a black mage or physical build for Cloud. You can just pick a balanced weapon like the Iron Blade and use everything when it's most suitable.
Yup he's a perfectly designed character from a stats perspective which allows you to play however you want whether it's to burst damage with mage abilities! Or beat down cheeks. And even do both which is my preferred build
He was originally a mystic knight in early planning, that's why he's a solid hybrid.
Wonderful video, thank you
You are Absolutely welcome! Happy to bring this kind of stuff for you guys!
@@BltzZ I'm actually on chapter 17 end boss with Aerith and Barret fighting the gunner bastard thanks to your tips .
@@derektafoya1152 yoooo that's awesome! I absolutely love this game and I'm so happy to be playing this 20 years later
The Nail bat gets a little better in punisher mode as it's a charge up hit. Maybe a reference to his using the home run bat in Smash?
Could be a little nod to appreciate them bringing him into smash 4 and solidifying him a roster spot in ultimate!
Just wanted to comment on how great your videos are, thank you BltzZ and also when you cast magic inside the arcane ward, the second spell actually takes a bit of MP so it’s not free. Thanks!
Thanks dude! I have a broken synergy combo video coming soon
Nice! Looking forward to seeing that. Also wanted you to know I’m a die hard ff fan (all series) especially ff7. The remake far exceeded my expectations and seeing videos like yours helps me build upon my own play style (mostly raw attack damage builds) so really thanks! I was finally able to get the gotterdamerung after grinding those summon fights for hours and continuing to watch your videos to tweak my strategies. I know I could cheese them using the arcane ward + aga spells with the right builds but it just wasn’t my style. So thanks for that also!
Great vid, keep em coming. I saw a few things I pointed out in here.
Black mage cloud is amazing with MP absorb combined with deadly dodge, it's basically free MP all the time.
Haha I got to try that out I saw someone else recommended that one too!
@@BltzZ also fun black mage stuff, put a materia with HP/mp absorb, and then use the same type with the magnify materia, and you will get the hp/mp from the magnified casting. Yeah it's four slots, but it's amazing. I do it with fire as it's a pretty commonly useful element.
I saw this recommended from another commenter as well. I need to get this one going too! Thanks man
@@BltzZ Just making sure you and your viewers have the best info.
just love using infintys end when they are staggered haha so much dmg
Yup! Seeing all 9999s are always fun. But it's been brought my my attention from a another viewer that braver can hit 8k off staggered and it only costs 1atb so if you use this twice you can get more damage off versus infinity end which costs 2 atb! Wish I put that in the video but oh well that'll have to make a return maybe in the next one haha
Great breakdown
Thanks dude! Be sure to checkout our game breaking builds called the infinite health build and the instant limit break build
@@BltzZ I sure will, thanks for the recommendation
Hell yea man, I'm on Chapter 3 and as soon as I saw the Iron Blade I been putting SP into Mag Atk. My Fira does 2000 damage. I'm glad you mentioned the same thing. PROPS MAN. MAD props!!!
Awesome! The magic aspect of this game is super addicting and 2000 damage that early on is a godsend wow! I'm glad you're enjoying these videos
Just wait till you get magnify and arcane ward.
Way too much fun when you combine them all with MP absorb too it's ridiculous
Hard edge is probably my favourite weapon but twin stinger looks so damn cool
I'm more than halfway through my hard mode playthrough and never knew you could change limit breaks... until now.
ah damnnnn! the second limit breaks look soooo amazing! Be sure to check them out if you have them unlocked already. Tifa's is my favorite she just goes insane!
Not strictly related to Cloud, but from my testing the ATB Assist materia works for any two commands used back to back, it doesn't need to be the same one repeated two times. This makes the materia even more useful to Cloud, since he does have a variety of useful abilities (and is good with magic). I still prefer ATB Assist on Tifa, but Cloud is second choice for sure.
Looking forward to the next guides.
Yup that's the best thing about this game IMO. Every character can be built however you want! I agree tho ATB assist is great on both cloud and Tifa but way more useful on tifa. I just love to hit things and play as cloud to start off fights haha
Remember me? Thank you for recommending this game for me. Just got the game and Im having blast playing.
Also finished the original disc one too (that scene made my eyes watery)
Dude that's so awesome to hear I'm glad you're enjoying it! The stagger pressure time video has been doing wonders for experienced players and new ones combined. I'm trying to bring you all new videos like that
@@BltzZ I will watch it
Subbed!
Welcome to the channel!
I believe Triple Slash's negative damage modifier on subsequent hits on the same target makes it deal notably less damage than Braver, which gives Braver a bit of a niche as a 1-cost single-target efficient damage ability.
Triple slash does more damage due to hitting the enemy right away and can stagger enemies. Time is a factor and especially on a stagger/break enemy
One of best guide ive ever watch
That makes me happy to hear! Be sure to stay tuned for the tifa advanced guide because that one will shock you :). Also just released a tips video a few minutes ago
@@BltzZ althought it a bit hard to make it real deflect atack using triangle switch mode hahaha.... need learn timing
Haha yeah it's tough you gotta have to watch the opponent like a hawk..check my tips video I released yesterday for some improvements on the camera that may help you in battle especially with the free targeting setting. If you haven't changed it already that is!
@@BltzZ sure bro... 👍👍👍
It's also very importanto to mention how the combination of 50% MP regeneration and Trade-Off make a huge difference and are a worthy reason to play a magic oriented build. The amount of MP you will have at your disposal in longer/harder boss fights just to heal is arguably worth the loss in dps (which is also questionable). Also the reason Why Silver Staff is really the only option Aerith has.
Yup silver staff aerith is the way to go in hard mode, her damage will still be fine but those stats you just cant resist
Amazing video dude I'm loving the guides in this game the combat system is awesome. Do you have tips for fighting bahamut? I have unlocked him but haven't tried it yet. I read I'll need to be max level before attempting him.
With bahamut you want to make sure tifa has parry on so you can dodge his attacks! Let Barret and cloud be controlled by the AI during those moments. Before she casts megaflare make sure you have manawall on all character before you're hit because it can 1 shit everyone. I got lucky and Tifa had exactly 29 health left and I got some chakra off then revived Barret and cloud.
I turned level 50 today at the colosseum before crossing the wall 😆 had a lot of practice with shortcut moves finally! My son and i took turns! Can’t wait to get to weapon level 6 at the shinra lab! Thanks for the tips bruv! 👍🏻
No worries! You are definitely going to enjoy that portion! Kudos to you showcasing this game to the next generation. I wanna do the same with my sisters
BltzZ My eldest son is only 7 and a half years old! But I had to make him a part of this epic remake after 2 decades! And he loves it! I have to stop playing and wait at crucial storyline for him to watch so progressing much slower but savoring it all 😄 Looking forward to the hard mode!
Savor it man I tried my best to take my time but when I beat it I feel empty lol. That's awesome I first played og when I was 8 years old
I remember in the original you could find magnify/all materias everywhere.
They sold for over a million gil when mastered. Gosh i hope they keep that
I'm sure in the open world portion were going to have some crazy materia combinations to explore and plenty of magnify materia. One just feels like it's not enough in this game! I hope we can get a decent amount and more materia slots
@@BltzZ They already gave you too much early game. I don't know how people who level Max materia and level 99 continue their game when the second part comes out. Looks like it'll just break their entire experience if they're too strong.
You'll just walk through bosses unless they implement a serious level scaling mechanic haha. For both regular enemies and bosses which fine tunes their ai depending on your materia levels
@@zZiL341yRj736 max level is 50. They will probably have yuffie steal all your shit
Lol the traditional god of war beginning where you lose all your stats from the previous game. I can totally see that happening lol and you get your stuff back maybe midway or a bit after that interaction..who knows?
I think Aero spells works wonders in the boss fights against Rude since he’s tough as hell without that spell.
Cloud has some pretty solid stats for an All-Rounder. That’s why I focus abit on both. I didn’t know Cloud can parry during the switch to Punisher Mode either. Not sure if it’s easier to pull off but I’ll try it. For summons, I always stuck with Ifrit for Cloud because like you said, he gets a damage and defense buff. That way, I can usually wallop enemies with the elemental materia and fire combo who also happens to be weak to fire. Made the fight with Shiva sooooooo much easier. Thanks for the vid, mate. :)
You're welcome dude thanks for the tip on aero against rude! He absolutely destroyed my cheeks the first time around lol. Yes the punisher switch counter has a decent window to land and doesn't take too long to get used to! I love using it after a counter stance and vice versa to mess up and stagger enemies who think they can hit me multiple times haha
When I play I'm always yelling at my TV "COME AT ME, HIT ME YOU COWARD" And then they get the parry or Counterstance. Very satisfying to pull off :P
You should include your favorite combos or string of attacks, I keep trying to create my own with cancels etc like with a fighter game
I definitely have those lined up with tifa! But for cloud my strings usually end early because of enemy armor. Only when they're staggered i feel like cloud can get specific stuff off somewhat. What are some of yours? Check the tifa combo I did at the end of the stagger pressure video lol I got plenty more where that came from
Quick pointer, Arcane Ward doesn't make the 2nd spell free. It just costs less but the damage is also halved I think to compensate. Doesn't really impact your guide though or anything, still some really good pointers for playing. Keep up the awesome work dude.
A goof up on my end, I appreciate you letting me know! Thanks for enjoying the content still. Hoping to finish this tifa guide today and have it ready for you all by tomorrow
That tip about using Focused attacks during Pressure was a HUGE help to me, as I had been using them wrong this entire time! I thought they increased the Pressure/Stagger gauge regardless, but that was wrong. Now I know why the gauge was inexplicably not rising when trying to use focused attacks right off the bat. I was always doing that to try to raise the gauge as quick as possible & not realizing that I was doing it wrong, so thanks for that!
