btw not mentioned in ur video: The point of getting increases rarity is not so much the minor basic stats increase.. It's the fact the abilities themselves get increased multipliers. They don't get new names like how weapon abilities do, but ya, higher multipliers. Very big. a 4/5 star thunder blow (upgraded to thundara blow) for example is superior to the basic thunderstrike from a 5 star / no red star murasame for example, cuz 3 ATB vs 4. Havent done the exact math but pretty sure its even gonna be able to match a 1 red star, 2+ should pull ahead, or whenever the next bump to thunderstrike's multiplier happens.
@@PayneBlade Yep. Some numbers (at lvl10 upgraded) 3star fira: 275%, 4 star: 287%, 5 star: 300%. So yea well worth it since that multiplies against your full MATK, so a straight up +25% dmg from 3 to 5 stars on most of the basic materia we got now, and probably a bigger difference once we get some advanced materia later (perhaps Firaga/Ja/Flare/meteor/ultima)
After further testing, i got 100% chance 4 star materias and 5 star materias when close to or at the time requirements of said materia. You can also get your materia upgraded to higher tier which i also got. About 2-3 of 10 4-star materia turned 5 star when i upgraded them in different accounts. I hope they add locking capability and resetting or transferring sub-stats for materia.
I was surprised by how stingy the game is with the materia leveling items considering how reasonably generous the game is with most other resources. I guess they’re expecting you to level materia by using extras more than the items
Do you think there is a rarity lvl materia beyond 3 on the current state of the game?? Reaching thundaga for exampme even if its not meant to be obtained .
someone on discord posted a 5 star regular materia, not even upgraded. He even said he didn't use any synth materia boosts! So yea, it's just RNG, prolly like a 0.01% or less chance without any synth items, adding items just boosts the chance. As a final test in beta, I used ALL of the materials i built up over the entire beta test, quite a lot, like 150+ on a synth, and it only turned out to be 3 stars.. So also yea: like the tooltip says, all it does is guarantee 2 star+, doesn't gurantee anything better matter how much u waste. So until someone datamines it to figure out the real rates boost, i wouldnt use up much, maybe a few mats per go, maybe more if u got some ot spare and want the guaranteed substats.
The materia is what makes or break the game. They have such a huge library to choose from and its really the only way I see viable level progression after you get bored with gear and weapons.
Early challenging content priority is Thunder, Quake, Fire, Ice, in that order. Wind much later, Water not at all atm (like 1 boss weak to it, but he puts up a shield to block water and thunder works fine, so no need ). A good single target cura is also ofcourse very good, get 2-3 of em. The physical versions too (xxx blow) - youll get those recipes from the crisis dungeon
It depends on your fav team... I suggest focusing a lot of time on the 3 ruin blows... especially the triangle one ( saying you are running cloud with masamune) because of the third weapon ability (double effect for the seal if used in 3rd slot)
Do have the Sub stats a stat range per upgrade or is this fix? For Example Blizzard has +2 PATK, when it hit PATK on Level up would it always be +2? And is there a way 2 lock on stuff and dont feed it by accident into other Materia?
From what I've seen they appear to be fixed and are based on the Materia's rarity. (If they aren't fixed, they have a very tight range.) Another thing to consider is that you get a sub stat bonus on every even level. If you have a slot that's locked the bonus is used to unlock the next sub stat but if all slots are open the bonus is used to boost a random sub stat. Starting with 4 slots open means higher over all sub stats when maxed. And yes, you can lock materia. There's a lock icon in the bottom right of the info panel.
Click the story party at top right and u can pass any pve lvl with any team. While u don't get all rewards. U do progress in story and unlock a lot. Good luck all
@@PayneBlade Yea just use free party, it's literally 50 crystals less u can grab later. You do otherwise get all the crystals from chests/all other rewards. I also got stuck here with a decently built up glen, but weak lucia/matt, so just blitzed it with my main ff7 party np. It is indeed the final mission available atm. Also grants a cool outro FMV preview of whats coming in the next update so check it out! It otherwise doesn't unlock anything important (20 slots to set up parties instead of 15 whoopie.. and ofcourse yet another FOMO pack only purchasable with red diamonds. Buy it or suffer the mega FOMO! it is a bigger pack than any other story unlock.
@@Just_an_Azn_guy yes, same. Honestly i wished ff would have been released before sfd 😂 would have been my main for sure. Too heavily invested in sfd to quit, so trying to be ftp on ff.
@colinwyw yeah agree. But we still can enjoyed both games. Ff7 is more grinding and depending where you at on SFD it's not that demanding. Like for myself I'm on 35-12, just slowly getting stronger to progress.
Thanks for the videos payne.. i should have waited for your uplaods because i converted 219 falcon parts and 93 murasame parts to medals. 😢 I feel this game has so many mechaics and rescources it can become overwhelming . Although i cant complain ive got a 3 star murasame, 3 star heavy mauler and 4 star fairytale 😊 on the 3rd stamp card also near another murasame. P.s you can change characters in story mode to another team but you dont get the bonus reward (crystals)

you can by chance get a level 3 without using any additional materials btw. really low chance but yeah.

I'm a o.g FF fan grinding all characters is a must and given, and I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing this about the materia
Elemental blow materia is so good. Can spam that ish like crazy.
Good guide, you're good at explaining new things👍
Tyvm 😊
Do you think there is a rarity lvl materia beyond 3 on the current state of the game?? Reaching thundaga for exampme even if its not meant to be obtained .
there is rarity 4 materia that you can get from dungeon exchange so ya its currently in the game
pretty powerful one too wich increases elemental dmg to enemies
Ya I've seen 4 before but not a 5 yet but I'm sure rng can make it happen

@Axer128 ya I have heard the fables of folks getting 5*... crazy low rates indeed lol
Hi, how do I synthesize the Blow versions? Eg: water blow? Is that possible?
Ya u gotta get the recipes from dungeons
Does the stat matter for materia? Or is it more important to get high stars?
Stats matter more. They are both important but stats are "easier" to acquire than star lvl. I've yet to get one 5* with 2 accounts
@@PayneBlade thanks man! I love your content :)
Appreciate you brother!
❤️❤️
The materia is what makes or break the game. They have such a huge library to choose from and its really the only way I see viable level progression after you get bored with gear and weapons.
100%
So the MAX you can get for the fuckin materia in this is level 2 (Bolt2, Ice2, Fire2)?
where do you get more recipes?
Crisis dungeons
Thanks for explaining the system. Do you know what materia are the ones we should focus on first? There are too many
Thunder, fire for story mode mostly required. Some of the physical versions of those help a lot too for physical units
@@PayneBladeThanks so much for answering. Love your videos

What do you do with all the crap materia?
Thanks for the video!!! Hey does anyone remember what formations are? I was reading it and tapped it off before I could finish.
I believe it's the amount of parties you can make (the slots)
@@PayneBlade yes it was!! Thank you!
Are the aoe forms of materia abilitles only on weapons or can you upgrade into them? Like Thundara into Thundaga.
Love the content as always, just installed and I've got an important question. Did you give the flower to Tifa or Marlene?
Hey bro. Either works it doesn't actually change the outcome.
@@PayneBlade Was just a joke question to see if you simp for Tifa or Barrett lol

Sounds exactly as Genshin Artifacts@@techneko1610
You don't need to level you whole crew to finish the story, just switch to free mode and pick your 3 main characters
ya I mentioned that in other videos, just to get the 50 blue crystals tho haha
Click the story party at top right and u can pass any pve lvl with any team. While u don't get all rewards. U do progress in story and unlock a lot. Good luck all
For sure. Just go back and get crystals when u ready

@Axer128 hahaha ya I lvled up the 3 of them to get past it anyways. I have ocd for not completing things right away
You legend! Thanks for sharing this. I had no idea it progressed the story so this helps alot.
@user-cc2gv7jo6i he'll yeah. Get there bro. So much fun when u can beat everything
my alvl 30 aerith only has lvl 40 yellow weapon but already has 13500 Pwr. Seems like weapon is not the main stat booster ?
Lots of factors such as weapons, stats stream, sub weapons and materia etc. Everything factors in but weapons isn't the only stats that matter
Which level/story gives debrave?
Just 1 but it doesn't make a difference because the potency is always low
I'm just trying to make sure I didn't use it as fodder, but I can't find anything online about where you actually get it.@@PayneBlade
@josephkirkpatrick345 chances are you used it as fodder when u did optimize Lvling. I would say like 75% of people have done this
Really appreciate the content! But man how can you concentrate on so many gacha games 😂 I’m struggling with sfd and this
Lol just getting far enough on most where the real idle begins and most of the content is dailies
