Thank you. You are the first Crisis Core RUclipsr to use High Jump. I saw so many comments online not recommending this materia but I stuck with it from beginning to end. I dodged Ultima and so many other attacks that would have killed me.
High Jump/Death Jump are very powerful in Reunion for a couple reasons. One, as Primal gave emphasis on, are the s. And two, the distance it covers. Reunion gave us the new Buster Sword Stance. And any yellow materia used from this stance is heavily buffed. Minerva likes distancing herself a lot, and only the Jumps deal consistent hits to her from the stance.
Yup, i cheesed my way through the 10 star missions with aerial drain and assault twister+. As for magic, electrocute is great for hitting larger enemies multiple times and crowd control from relative safety
Hey Primal, did you know about the Libra + Dark Matter fusion? You can fuse Dark Matter to a Libra Materia up to 97 percent or so and then fuse that Libra materia with another materia of your choice and use Hero Drink or any other item that changes stat at the low cost of SP. I just saw another video showing this strategy and its quite impressive.
For those who dont want to farm sp to use sp master, stack sp turbo and sp turbo attack, with 255 str and genji glove your high jump will caps, aerial drain will hit for 60k+ (caps with buster stance), only cost 200ish sp each jump as well With that dps and healing+jump nothing can stop you Also literally can just spam the jump to beat normal minerva (hard minerva need dodging since cant abuse phoenix down)
I use it paired with Darkness, first cast Darkness to clear anything under 99.999 hp, then either repeat, use costly punch for fast DMG instead of aoe from Darkness, then Aerial Drain for instant full HP.
when the original crisis core came out, i was still in school and at chapter 4 my psp broke down. couldnt afford a new one at that time. beein able to finish the story all these years later makes me really happy. and up to this point, cloud was my favorite game character. now i gotta say, zack is so much more impressive.
If you are hardcore. Minerva is unlocked at mid chapter 3. But item fusion unlocks and the 2 extra accessories at the start of chapter 4. So practically you can be maxed there.
I'm fan of your videos, I learned a lot tips on your videos. I didn't have time for farming so my own favourite setup was costly punch, electrocute, high jump, dualcast, curaga and hp up++. I only got Electrocute +100% but with dualcast that made major damage and I didn't need to farm at all. Accessories brutal, adaman bangle, genji helm (only one I had money without farming). Love the game
Just wanted to say thanks for the guides. Made Minerva a lot more manageable. Your work has been greatly appreciated within the community of Crisis Core.
Just beat Minerva a few minutes ago for the first time, and I never even thought to use high jump to avoid her attacks. My materia setup was Mug Costly punch Quake Curaga Wall Electrocute For accessories I went with genji helm, genji armor, genji gloves, and the zeidrich.
I’ve been having trouble getting to the point to get these items you show. I have a lot of missions done, near the beginning of Chapter 4 (I’m in the Sector 5 Slums Market), and I’m stuck on the 6-6 missions and on 7-5 missions. I also have the 9 missions opened, but can’t go further than 9-2. I finished all of 9-1. Here’s my set-up in regards to equipment, and my stats.: Electrocute (MP +200%) Blast Wave (MAG +8) Hell Blizzaga (MAG +5) Darkness (HP +999%) Status Strike (MAG +45) Status Ward (SPR +45) Ward Bracelet Shinra Beta+ Brutal Adaman Bangle Level 47 37135 HP 853 MP 253 AP 52 ATK 135 VIT 102 MAG 118 SPR 37 LCK (EDIT: Forgot to mention my level.) EDIT 2: I decided to switch out Blast Wave for a Magical Punch, and I’m doing better now. I finished all but 6-6-6 now, and I’m on the 7-5 missions. I haven’t tried the 9 missions that were giving me trouble yet.
Before i got all the genji stuff i wrecked Minerva with this build: Death Jump (main attack), Gil Toss exclusively for breaking specials as i only had 4M gil that time), Mug (99 phoenix downs), Hell Thundaga+Status Ward, Smart Consumer. Black Garb, Twisted Headband, Genji Glove, Adaman Bangle. Abused the damage reduction of Buster Sword Stance the entire fight. Gil Toss to break her special. Reason i used Death Jump over the more damaging Twisters and Death Blade is the gap closing ability. Im doing damage more consistently over twisters that whiff half the time, especially since i have to use them while on the stance to get the bonus damage buff.
no i've had a couple i just very rarely do them because i wont peddle products or services that i dont use myself, i care far more about my image in my viewers minds than a small payday
I did something similar although I replaced SP master with graviga and the stat allocations are different. I then have SP turbo, SP turbo attack, and SP master with specific stats. All of this is to ensure that when I swap to different sets, I'll still have everything I need capped. I would only use the SP materia for either of my sets specific to when I fight Minerva.
Heike Soul is so great that by the time you get it the only thing left to use in on is the final boss. Which you're better off not using against because the unwinnable fight after that will just drag on thanks to auto potion. It's that old trope of getting the best sword in the game after beating the post game super boss.
Hmm I have a lot of experience with this game so I'll try to guess the equipment as well as the materia Command: Gil toss Aerial drain The third could be literally almost anything Magic: Tri fire Full cure Support: SP master Equiment: Genji shield Ziedrich Genji helm Heike soul
If you dont want to farm SP too much SP turbo attack can give you full damage from aerial drain/high jump without expending too much sp when you do get hit by Minerva. With max stats, you should not die just because minerva was able to hit you.
honestly i can't argue with any of ur picks as i'm already using pretty much the same. i haven't been using SP master or high jump much but i can see the worth especially against Minerva. accessories r a solid choice too
One small change for me, i use death jump, seems to do the exact same thing as high jump with added death status for enemies who aren't resistant, you can wipe out small mobs in one hit aoe with death applied to all. if you're doing super high damage anyways it's not that much better, but death status ignores defence/spirit when it works :D
@@RanEncounter i agree, through using the buster sword stance the dmg is still pretty decent tho. It may not be the best materia to use, but it has it's nieche for playing with a bit less focus on the game with very consistent heals. For the pure DMG and most efficiency i do agree with you tho!
I have all max stats as well, except my luck is 96. I just beat Minerva on hard in chapter 5. Honestly just curious what you think is the best vs what I use. Now all I have left is the misc. trophies like beat x Minnie game x fast or whatever, and essentially beating the game. I have every mission done up to this point as well, which is right under 75 percent in chapter 5. Double checked online I haven’t missed any and won’t miss any.
how nice, id rather cut the stance out entirely and do max damage every attack though, drain is pointless at this point because nothing can hurt you anyway so you just fully heal after every fight
OK i have to ask What would Be a great Substitute for the Heike soul? because to obtain Heike soul Is to 100% every mission. This includes the Minerva fight. So what would be a great substitue for it when going against her for the first time.
I MADE COSTLY PUNCH WITH HAMMER PUNCH (mastered) AND IRON FIST (mastered)!!!!!! Or Hammer Punch (Mastered) And SP master with SP Turbo (Mastered) and Libra (Mastered) Use this information and put it on wiki and the helpful game sites! You don't need to go through the extremely hard missions to earn them. I KNEW there was a way to craft them! I just needed to experiment.
I mean, if you can kill Minerva, your set up is good enough, aerial drain is a godsend. It also allowed me to use those 80+ elixirs I accumulated throughout the game. Debating if I want to new game + on hard mode with Heike soul
Hey Primal. First and foremost, hats off for all those amazing videos, very easy to learn and follow your thoughts and explanations to why something works the way they do. I have a quick question, I have a Masterd MUG materia with +40 VIT on that i wanna bump up to +100 vit with adamantite. But any combination i throw at it will change it to something else. Do you have any go to materia for Mug specifically? Or do you simply need to fuse steal with something to get mug and +100 stat in one go for it to work?
When i was young on psp i used to play with the three HELL magic materia (because yes they had HELL in the name) with VIT MAG and SPI +100, energiga with hp 999%, costly punch with ATK+100 and a DWM Phoenix Materia for having revive active all the time (also i loved so much the animation of the summon). For the equipment the classic Genjis Glove + Armor + Shield and Zeidrick, not the best build for sure but i had a lot of fun back in the days. Now i'm farming for the materials for fuse the definitive materia and I surely give a try to this build thanks for the great advice man! :D
Thanks i have everything except the market acheives thanks in part to you. Im moving on to final fantasy remake integrade new game plus then ff10 first ever play!
What are your thoughts on the Divine Slayer accessory? I'm running that in my current build over the Genji Helm. At least til I can farm enough stat items for my materia.
I think making a vid how to farm stats on Materia using the Libra and dark matter method would be nice. So one doesn't have to farm anything else since dark matter is the quickest and easiest with mogs and jeweled ring. So ppl can max out stats much easier than in your single statmax vids.
@@Primalliquid92 I think they were referring to the fastest way to add any stat rather than the fastest way to add any stats using the items specific to that stat. If you can farm dark matter in half the time it would take to farm items for any other stat, and with it being so easy to change the fuse to whichever stat that you want, then this would be the most optimal hands down. I don't know the timing on dark matter farming but I was just using it as an example.
Yeah I meant fusing libra+libra with dark matter to +99 then fusing with desired materia plus just one of the other items for any other stat. Works with almost any materia except dualcast. And dark matter 99 is easiest and quickest farm.
@@DBnow Be careful as this doesn't work with a lot more than just dualcast. Using libra can upgrade certain materia to the next level such as a lot of spells. It's always best to put both materia in the fusion slots to see what they make prior to dumping the dark matter into libra materia. For those that libra will not work, you'll have to fuse for the materia that you want with the stats and apply the stats on one of the two used to do so.
I have no problem with Heike Soul in terms of DMW. I've 100%'d crisis core on the psp and the DMW is the most annoying mechanic in the game. They sort of levitated the "stop to see all slots go all the same face" but the memories are still there. If you really depend on the DMW, you need to start grinding for better equipment and Materia. The RNG of the DMW can only give you temporary buffs while equipments are permanent until you remove them (obviously).
@@Primalliquid92 damn ok i somehow don’t have any mugs or steals left after fusion so i gotta wait until ng+ but all your guides help me tremendously thanks so much
I'd much prefer double cast rather than mug since I'd only ever steal for money farming and if you have all that gear and materia there's nothing left worth stealing. Also you can farm elixirs in 1-1-1. 99 of em in like 1-2 hours depending on luck with the magic pot, just fill all 6 slots with its independent (purple) materia and wait and farm (this mitigates the need of genji helm if u don't mind using items)
@@barekuckles8391, this brings me to a tangent: I feel that the buff to Minerva's HP on Hard mode makes it not fun. I have no incentive to fight her on Hard other than "bragging rights", but it isn't really skill on the player side at that point, more a war of atrittion. I did it but I really didn't enjoy myself
No, heike soul only has SP master level 1, it stacks with the mastered SP master giving you an extra increase, you can actually use upto 5 mastered SP masters
I was wondering, why having Mug on your set? Cause you don't really need something to steal on your current stage... maybe for potions so abuse the side effect of the Heike accessory, I don't really see the necessity to have this on, if you have another skill like high jump.
@@Primalliquid92 My bad! I completely zapped that part, while I was grinding my stuff to max out my stats. Lazyness and not rewinding back is bad habit of mine 😅 It's all done for me, only the hard mode left to run, but personally I'm no big fan of the SP Master, since it consumes massive amount of SP to negate damage. But I think for the hard mode it's ok, I took a curaga materia as backup, cause I'm too lazy to lose time on SP Farming. 🙃
Pretty sure the Costly punch requirement of being under 11% overall break status no longer exists. I've used it with break status when I had 57k max hp (break status to 99999 hp) and it was still doing max damage. Considering how much Hp it eats per use now? I'd almost be fine dropping down to a hammer or magical punch
instead of high jump i use aerial drain, I-frames with healing and electrocute could technically be replaced with tri-fire, with heike soul/dual cuast you'd be shooting a total of 6 high damage homing fireballs that also deal a bit of aoe on impact also, what reason would anyone have to fight minerva when they already have heike soul?
Primal, i have costly punch and brutal and HP 780% on darkness, but like, i cant beat mission 9-4-5 (tonberry kings), any tip? same with hitting 255 on everything?
Darkness farming can help make any stat maxed simply by fusing them up to 990% and then with item fusion make them change to whatever stat you desire as you fuse them around, or you can steal hero drinks and do same thing.
Hey thanks for your amazing and helpful videos 😁 is there a way to fuse dual cast? Doesn't matter with which materia I try to fuse dual cast the result is still another materia. No chance to get dual cast + materia =dual cast
Thank you. You are the first Crisis Core RUclipsr to use High Jump. I saw so many comments online not recommending this materia but I stuck with it from beginning to end. I dodged Ultima and so many other attacks that would have killed me.
its more for when you wanna be lazy but other than that its not bad and has tons of s available so you can cheese ALOT of stuff with it
Have I been getting lucky with my rolls?
@@DeviWry You can easily time your dodge roll with spells like ultima and flare.
High Jump/Death Jump are very powerful in Reunion for a couple reasons. One, as Primal gave emphasis on, are the s. And two, the distance it covers. Reunion gave us the new Buster Sword Stance. And any yellow materia used from this stance is heavily buffed. Minerva likes distancing herself a lot, and only the Jumps deal consistent hits to her from the stance.
You can simply dodge roll right before the ultima spell whites up the screen...It also works for flare.try it.but u gotta time it right
For people who like to play it safe, Aerial Drain is a jump materia with almost 30k heal every time you use it, easy way to cheese Minerva.
Does it have the same I-frames as high jump?
@@maximos905 I think so, but way less damage.
@@RobMost thanks
Yup, i cheesed my way through the 10 star missions with aerial drain and assault twister+. As for magic, electrocute is great for hitting larger enemies multiple times and crowd control from relative safety
just beat Minerva and Arial Drain was my main attack
I love how you've gone on a complete rampage on this game breaking it wide open lol loving the videos dude
Hey Primal, did you know about the Libra + Dark Matter fusion?

With that dps and healing+jump nothing can stop you
Also literally can just spam the jump to beat normal minerva (hard minerva need dodging since cant abuse phoenix down)
You dont even have to do all of that. In buster mode stance with its damage cap unlocked, you can do max damage with 23x str and high jump.
@@sorandkairi00 but you do need to enter the stance while with this setup you can spam high jump nonstop and dealing capped damage
I will note that larger enemies, such as The Holy Tonberry and the various Behemoth froms. One Energy cast will damage them multiple times.
Best Guide ever bro… Thank you so much you help my gameplay much… Cant wait to see u do this on FF 16 and 7R part 2….God bless U
i like using Aerial Drain instead of high jump. it still has the same I-frames, does a ton of damage, and heals for full health every time its used
I use Aerial drain as well. 1 of my fav materia. I use it for dodging and healing
Its half the power of high jump though
I use it paired with Darkness, first cast Darkness to clear anything under 99.999 hp, then either repeat, use costly punch for fast DMG instead of aoe from Darkness, then Aerial Drain for instant full HP.
but i guess darkness or quake are sort of the same, exept darkness actually hits flying enemy's at the cost of HP,
@@m1rasantika weaker yes
Just a bit more lazy and safe approach
let's be honest, Minerva is the only real enemy here
Ahhh yes that moment in any FF game where you become so broken that you are now the Super Boss to your enemies. 😎
always the best moment
when the original crisis core came out, i was still in school and at chapter 4 my psp broke down. couldnt afford a new one at that time.

I honestly prefer death jump over high jump just for the added effect of an instant k.o on most enemies. ^__^
Hi thanks you but how I can have that magics what I need to do step by step? Please
On my first playthrough, started on hard... shitty that the best accessory is awarded after there's nothing left to do lol
Just beat Minerva a few minutes ago for the first time, and I never even thought to use high jump to avoid her attacks. My materia setup was
Mug
Costly punch
Quake
Curaga
Wall
Electrocute
For accessories I went with genji helm, genji armor, genji gloves, and the zeidrich.
@Primalliquid my friend, your Crisis Core tutorials for me were exceptional! Thanks for all hahaha

try aerial drain aswell if you like the jump part!
It's almost always a full heal with the same really good DMG.
@@Timmiso Aerial drain is 24 base power compared to 40 from High Jump and Death Jump. But it is good against not so hard opponents.
@@RanEncounter i agree, through using the buster sword stance the dmg is still pretty decent tho.

What are your thoughts on Ultima? I haven't used it but when looking I am able to turn electrocute into it. Bad idea?
ultima takes way to long to cast and does way to little damage for the time it takes

Instead of Quake what can use? Cause I don't like Quake
Cheesing a buster stance/aerial drain w/ a 200+ attack stat does close to 99,999 every time.
how nice, id rather cut the stance out entirely and do max damage every attack though, drain is pointless at this point because nothing can hurt you anyway so you just fully heal after every fight

@@DBnow Be careful as this doesn't work with a lot more than just dualcast. Using libra can upgrade certain materia to the next level such as a lot of spells. It's always best to put both materia in the fusion slots to see what they make prior to dumping the dark matter into libra materia. For those that libra will not work, you'll have to fuse for the materia that you want with the stats and apply the stats on one of the two used to do so.
How many SP do I need to the SP master be useful
Nice video. Is there a way to swap sets?
I have no problem with Heike Soul in terms of DMW. I've 100%'d crisis core on the psp and the DMW is the most annoying mechanic in the game. They sort of levitated the "stop to see all slots go all the same face" but the memories are still there. If you really depend on the DMW, you need to start grinding for better equipment and Materia. The RNG of the DMW can only give you temporary buffs while equipments are permanent until you remove them (obviously).
I like having all the Genji equipment and equipped in my opinion at least in the old game
Is it necessary to have all the chests from the side missions to get heike soul or is completing the mission enough?
You just need to complete. I get all chests because I'm a completionist.
lol "i-frames" is actually fighting game terminology that other communities picked up.
Same with "hitbox/hurtbox" and frame data in general.
i’m trying to max out my mug in spr but every spell i try to fuse it with turns it into something else help please
use 2 none mastered mugs with item fusion
@@Primalliquid92 damn ok i somehow don’t have any mugs or steals left after fusion so i gotta wait until ng+ but all your guides help me tremendously thanks so much
any tips on what i could replace Soul with? might have messed up a play through and cant do all the missions so ill have to back track lol
genji armor
I'd much prefer double cast rather than mug since I'd only ever steal for money farming and if you have all that gear and materia there's nothing left worth stealing. Also you can farm elixirs in 1-1-1. 99 of em in like 1-2 hours depending on luck with the magic pot, just fill all 6 slots with its independent (purple) materia and wait and farm (this mitigates the need of genji helm if u don't mind using items)
doublecast isnt needed because its part of heike soul
@Primalliquid ahhh that's true, I forgot about that. Guess I should replace it now lol.
Great build, sucks you can't use the Heike Soul until after you beat Minerva but I'll still keep it in mind
you can beat minerva easy at normal mode then use heik soul for hard mode just for the fun of it
@@barekuckles8391, this brings me to a tangent: I feel that the buff to Minerva's HP on Hard mode makes it not fun. I have no incentive to fight her on Hard other than "bragging rights", but it isn't really skill on the player side at that point, more a war of atrittion. I did it but I really didn't enjoy myself
How does your electrocute materia have 999+% hp while mine has 200% + mp?
check my stat maxing guides :)
@@Primalliquid92 mmmk do you have a link? In return I'll watch and like your vids lol
How did you get Electrocute upgraded? It’s like every materia fused with it turns it into another one
use 2 none mastered electrocutes together with items
Cheers, mate! Instant subscribe
How you transfer HP to electrocute?
How can i get the Electrocute Material?
I need the most absolute help please to get the best build for this game and step by step cause I can’t beat the boss that has 10 million HP
If I don’t have SP master is there something equivalent or at least something good to replace it?
SP turbo attack
Ok but what do I use to get through the missions to get these
Hi Primal, thanks for your guides! Heike soul already has SP master effect, wouldn't it make having SP master materia unnecessary?
No, heike soul only has SP master level 1, it stacks with the mastered SP master giving you an extra increase, you can actually use upto 5 mastered SP masters
@@Primalliquid92 Oh, I see, thank you!
Does Aerial Drain have the same amount of I-Frames as high jump?
yes but it has half the damage
High jump on Minerva holy moly! Thank you so much it saved me 💪 I love your videos
Excited for the moogle power only run
what the point of having the best Equip when the only way to get it is to beat the hardest boss?
The one punch attak like one punch man anime lol
how did you get hp on electrocute? everytime I try to fuse it I get libra or ultima or something like that
i had to get a electrocute with 1 star instead of mastered, just putting this here
I was wondering, why having Mug on your set? Cause you don't really need something to steal on your current stage... maybe for potions so abuse the side effect of the Heike accessory, I don't really see the necessity to have this on, if you have another skill like high jump.
i mention it in the video its only for if people want to steal and i also give suggestions on what to replace it with if people dont want to use it
@@Primalliquid92 My bad! I completely zapped that part, while I was grinding my stuff to max out my stats. Lazyness and not rewinding back is bad habit of mine 😅
It's all done for me, only the hard mode left to run, but personally I'm no big fan of the SP Master, since it consumes massive amount of SP to negate damage. But I think for the hard mode it's ok, I took a curaga materia as backup, cause I'm too lazy to lose time on SP Farming. 🙃
Pretty sure the Costly punch requirement of being under 11% overall break status no longer exists. I've used it with break status when I had 57k max hp (break status to 99999 hp) and it was still doing max damage. Considering how much Hp it eats per use now? I'd almost be fine dropping down to a hammer or magical punch
If you have AP Zero and enough attack to full 9's, I think Hammer is a straight upgrade to costly at that point
Minerva was wayy to easy with SP Master.. I only had 13 million when I faced her. Absolutely love your videos btw
I beated her tonight but it was on normal,that genji shield and ziedrich are great
Miv done on Hm lvl 6 with just gill toss and max buster sword proficiency. 30mill gill for fight around 20mins
Does this work on psp crisis core
How come my high job has Atk not Vit
instead of high jump i use aerial drain, I-frames with healing and electrocute could technically be replaced with tri-fire, with heike soul/dual cuast you'd be shooting a total of 6 high damage homing fireballs that also deal a bit of aoe on impact
also, what reason would anyone have to fight minerva when they already have heike soul?
People say that they farm Minerva but I'm wondering why? If they're at the point that they can farm her, why do they need to farm anything?
@@chriss6855 good question, but likely no answer 🤣
Only defeated minerva for trophies
okay a question i want to beat her to get the 100% side quest achievement and also unlock the heike soul what do i put in its place?
genji armor
@@Primalliquid92 alright thanks
What does the curse do exactly?
Stops the DMW from spinning
@@Primalliquid92 that's not too bad considering how op this build is
Have you try changing high jump for life drain... i think you can get more us of that one
its half the damage and when your this strong your not taking damage from anything outside minerva
@@Primalliquid92 ohhh got you bro. Thanks. By the way i love your content.
Primal, i have costly punch and brutal and HP 780% on darkness, but like, i cant beat mission 9-4-5 (tonberry kings), any tip? same with hitting 255 on everything?
for the duel tonberry kings i used dualcast electrocute with high magic stat, entire fight was dodging kitchen knife using a cast when i could
Darkness farming can help make any stat maxed simply by fusing them up to 990% and then with item fusion make them change to whatever stat you desire as you fuse them around, or you can steal hero drinks and do same thing.
@@Primalliquid92 I did the same strategy. Beated It in the 3 trd chapter lvl 65.
Hey thanks for your amazing and helpful videos 😁 is there a way to fuse dual cast? Doesn't matter with which materia I try to fuse dual cast the result is still another materia. No chance to get dual cast + materia =dual cast
There isn't so you're stuck with the +60% MP or whatever it is.
Brother I've already restarted because of your guides xd
I'm assuming the Cure spells just lose all worth late game due to 99k health? Just use Xpots or what?
