You have improved very much your timing in everything... stance change, juggling between characters, fast casting, etc. Kudos. I like the approach of your guides very much as it also displays how much playing correctly plays a difference in fights. It isn't just gear and build, and I love how your guides show that things are deliberately done the way they are done. Two pointers (this is just FYI, nothing more, the fight is clear anyway): 1) at the beginning of the fight, you have time to do a 3 atb move with everyone that is about to be silenced. Their bar will fill again during silence, so it is literally free to do so, chip damage, but damage nonetheless. 2) when you stun, you had ample time to kill there. Yes, for the purposes of the guide, it is much better to show that you can survive and kill after, but seeing your stats and damage output, you could have killed before Diamond Dust, especially if 1) was applied in the beginning of the fight ;)
Thank you for your kind words, Edward. Have to find ways to clear content, so clutching and not being able to afford to make mistakes is the only way I can clear those battles. Gotta make up for lack of better gear, right? And yeah, on my another run my team survived at the end but mainly because I managed to nullify mdef debuff in time.
Hey thanks for the guide, I went from almost clearing ex2 to actually clearing ex2 in like 2 tries lol Actually committing to using a mdef up team weapon and that little hellfire tech to break Shiva's gauge before she can silence everyone really got me over the hump! Thank you!
Thank you very much for this video ❤ , I think that if you cheese on first phase and do both summons on 1st chill and if you didn’t do the trick to stone her with the hell fire you could have deleted her with the hellfire while still in chill phase, anyway great job, although you could have waited a little more instead wasting mats on free weapons ❤
Perhaps, can always experiment what works better. And yeah, I mentioned that I accidentally wasted those materials because I miscalculated. I regret doing that but sadly can't reverse it.
I have this setup except switch Zack to Aerith with the arcanum and OB 1 fire banner weapon and I'm getting wrecked.. I cant seem to do enough DPS to even break the first bar. this is the only fight I have left to complete all content but im stuck I tried hella different setups. my Aerith seems not to be doing enough I have sun umbella OB7 (for MATK Mag ability boost) egg staff OB1 fire arcanum outfit MATK lvl 6 boost Mag ability lvl 5 fire pot lvl 3 ice resis lvl 4 maybe I should switch the sun umbrella but to what
Hm. How much matk does your Aerith have? Also, do you have ob1 Egg Staff in main weapon slot or Sunbrella? If you're using same setup, how does your Cloud look like? I tried the battle with Aerith but my eggstaff is only 5* and I didn't bother leveling it up and I was very close on dps check, but managed to squeeze through. My Aerith had 4.7matk with lvl 5 MATK, lvl5 mag ab potency, lvl 4 Fire potency and lvl 3 ice resist. I wouldn't switch out Sunbrella, it's Aerith's best magic weapon and yours is ob7 already. In main weapon slot it boosts Aerith's matk a lot.
@@End7essness I was on Reddit and I got some great advice so I switched my team up a bit for some great progress. I now have Aerith sun umbrella main and egg staff second. I had red as debuff n mdef and Tifa as heal and matk down. I got close to the end I’m very close now to completely.
Your strategy and team set up is not working work for me. I do little damage, I can't reduce the gauge fast enough to enter chill state and I recover little HP for the entire party.
It is definitely possible without Zack's gear. If you pulled on fireAerith&Lucia banner then you should be even better as that's 2 dedicated dps. Nanaki, especially with Rebirth outfit is also great for this battle. Just personally I use Zack because I didn't pull on that Easter banner and don't have any other alternative.

Nice guide. I put fight with Tifa, Aerith and Zack with less OB weapon and after many tries I win. I even posted a video of this achievement.
Congrats

Congrats on getting your clear!
I'm glad you found my guide helpful.
Wonderful guide. You make it look so effortless-ness. Huehue
Thank you, Froppy. That effortlessness was me sweating hard trying not to screw up anywhere accidentally.

my Aerith seems not to be doing enough I have
sun umbella OB7 (for MATK Mag ability boost)
egg staff OB1
fire arcanum outfit
MATK lvl 6
boost Mag ability lvl 5
fire pot lvl 3
ice resis lvl 4
maybe I should switch the sun umbrella but to what

Do you think it’s possible without zack’s limit break gear? It’s the only thing I don’t have but every build I see uses it as primary dps.
