Super helpful stuff here. I feel less anxiety starting a hard mode play thru t ha is to these videos. I started on easy but didn’t expect it to be THAT east. So I have a steeper hill to climb in terms of acclimating myself to the rhythm of normal and hard.
I'd love for them to implement a very hard mode and also add VR coop missions for online play! That would be enough to hold me over for the next few months haha
I feel the same way! I just can't get into other games ever since I played this game.. It feels evolutionary.. Everything about the game, from it's mechanics to it's storytelling is just so well refined.. It's unbelievably good!
Thanks for taking the time to share! The physical prowess of Tifa is a joy to watch and harness during combat! She is the only one for me so far that enables me to achieve 200%+ stagger percentages! All the best!
At first I was so not used to her because I felt she died too fast, and then I learned focused strike gives you inv frames... then... then I was truly in love
This is a great guide. I appreciate how you show more than just one build for her too. Your growth on your channel is well deserved. Best of luck to you!
Thank you so much man I'm just doing what I love and that's breaking down characters for you guys to master and learn! I appreciate the kind words man stay safe out there, you and your family
Tifa and Cloud's ground combat is precisely why I adore the fighting system in this game. Air battles are indeed absurd, but since it's not that prevalent in this game. I didn't mind it too much.
Yeah plus Barret can nuke them easily in the air anyways. I love tifas air combat in chi level 3 I forgot to mention that in this video haha but it's in the original tifa guide. The combat for Cloud and Tifa are so satisfying!
BltzZ literally though! You’re absolutely right! Barret and Aerith really do perform great against those winged pests. I am curious about what you’re saying about Tifa’s Chi Level 3 though...
Tifa has crazy long combos in the air when you are in chi level 2 or 3. Level 3s long combos consistent of crazy dbz aerial fighting moves and a sick overhead fist bash at the end haha try it out on a flying enemy it's beautiful. Just wish the tracking was better
BltzZ oh I didn’t know that haha I’ll have to try that for sure! Geez it’s kinda nuts that even now I’m still learning a lot about the combat system haha I mean I just a few days ago I was informed about the Parry Materia granting Tifa an ability to attack cancel into a slide, which greatly increases her survivability and mobility.
Absolutely fantastic video, thank you. I was so intrigued that I had to pause midway through to test out what I’d learned. I’d been really struggling with using Focused Strike and Overpower, and wasn’t really building stagger effectively with them. Focused Strike + Deadly Dodge (bonus HP absorb) was a revelation, as was Overpower finishing with Tifa’s combos depending on her chi level. Seeing Tifa’s combos broken down was fantastic, too, as previously her combos had become an overwhelming blur. Now I can see where her x8 combo finishes, and where her final combo chain finishes. Tifa had been my favorite character to play as, but I hadn’t known how use her effectively outside of stagger - this video was a revelation, truly. After experimenting with what you suggested, everything about her move set clicked into place, and the newfound flow to Tifa’s combat was a joy. Thank you for this highly detailed Tifa vid, along with the Cloud Advanced Guide. I’m looking forward to Aerith and Barrett’s Advanced Guides, too. Superb work.
I'm ecstatic to read this! I'm so happy you found these helpful and for sure the Barret and aerith guides will follow the same detailed formula! See you guys soon
It's crazy how she was always my favorite character and now even moreso they did her justice in this game! The combat is just crazy wild. The amount of crazy stuff you can pull off in this game is cool..I have an advanced Barret guide talking about the sickest setup. Enemy skill with HP absorb
@@BltzZ Yep, though I predict you going with Vincent, Tifa and Cid. :P You mentioned you love playing as a Dragoon and you also seem to love the Tifa gameplay so these three might be a great team.
Yup! I hope we can remove cloud from the party and fully customize it. I'd love if they did what ff10 does where all party members are available in fights! But you're absolutely right my main team would have to have cid in it. I just keep thinking about those jumps in ff14 haha
It’s nice to see someone that likes tifa as much as I do, at the beginning I found her kind of hard to play but then I figured it out and I fall in love with her. Love that your tips n tricks are well explained and definitely I’m going to use it with her, I just hope to be as good as you are. You have a new subscriber here! Greetings from Mexico.
Awesome to hear man! I absolutely adore tifa in this game. I can't wait for you to see this pride and joy guide with how amazing tifa and aerith are as a team!
@@BltzZ This is going to sound waaasay too corny, but I love, love Tifa and Aerith friendship. They really have an amazing chemistry. Can't wait to see that chemistry playing out in battle, which I am hoping you to teach us. Btw, adored your tips on Tifa; she is a monster on the battlefield (and I mean it in a good way) ;)
Yup! Currently working on the full team build for hard mode and how you should be playing them as a unit and chemistry :) should be out by Wednesday! Stay tuned for that you won't want to miss it :) btw not at all corny. Their friendship feels great and seeing them in battle and in cutscenes interacting is a dream come true from the childhood longtime fan in me
@@BltzZ Btw, just out of interest, what are your thoughts on the Skill Master materia on Tifa? Do you find that she's fast enough already that she doesn't really need to purposely rotate her moves to proc Skill Master all the time, or is it more a case of personal preference?
I think she is fast already and skill materia is so hard for me to mentally prepare myself to use on tifa haha I always use the same two moves back to back and skill master requires you to use 3 unique moves. I think if you are actively going for it and set your playstyle for it, it can work for sure. But maybe it would be better if you have Gotterdammerung plus refocus for 3atb bars. Dude I'm going to have to finish this Barret guide tomorrow. My new favorite combination in this game is Melee Barret with pincers + Enemy skill(Algid Auda) + HP absorb! He's a beefy Tank and cannot be killed it's insane I spent so much time just mauling mobs over ahaha
@@BltzZ :D I'm looking forward to it. I didn't know you could cancel the last shot of his hold square autoattack into his Charge animation. So glad there's tech for everyone.
I would like to see you do a video just postulating what kind of mechanics future characters will have such as cid or vincent. You have a fantastic grasp on the game and i honestly feel you are probably the only person id watch theories from.
I'd be more than happy to do that! Vincent was my favorite character and I know a whole lot about dragoons now from ff14. I mained that class and I can tell cid will be a monster! I will definitely get these done thanks for the idea and I appreciate you saying that.
Vincent's my favorite character in the entire series! I've been so hyped for the next game already. Just imagining blasting enemies with my pistol with the metal arm, Vincent's hair and red cloak flying as I run and dodge, transforming into demons like his LB's are mini-summons. How will he NOT be awesome? Still hyped for Nanaki and Yuffie combat too. She was sorta lame in the original, throwing a giant wheel lol, but she should be awesome with chakrams, kicks, and flips. A combo of FFXIV's Ninja and Dancer could be amazingly fun. I don't even know what to expect from Nanaki! So hyped just for combat alone XD
Yooo if that blend dancer and ninja for yuffie I will lose my shit! They will seriously make it hard to choose who to play haha. I hope we get that freedom the original provided. Being able to have different dialogue and scenes when we have different party members with us!
Great idea for a video. Maybe even predicting story elements. “How many timelines will there be? Can we make the original happen? Does the affection stat (who you date) affect who Seph kills? Will it be your most affectionate or least?
You’re at it once again man! I’d like to think I do a decent job at using her but seeing other suggestions like this can really help inspire ideas I would’ve otherwise never have thought about. Also I’m willing to bet you’ll reach that 10k mark before the day ends!
Thank you! I think it may be soon within the hour but whenever it happens I'm just thankful for the support and I appreciate every single one of you guys! I'm the same way I love how everyone has different insight to characters. So the comments after these videos usually blow my mind and give me some more ideas I never thought of in the first place
I had no idea that Overpower acted as a shortcut to her combo finisher at level 2 chi. Super helpful! The only thing that wasn't highlighted here that I'm aware of is her Deadly Dodge attack chain that differs depending on her chi level. At level 3 she does an honest-to-God Street Fighter Ryu/Ken spinning kick (whatever it's called)! I didn't discover this until the Jenova fight!
Thanks for these guides. When I was a child I learned how to read well from pouring over the old paperback strategy guides they would pump out for ps1 / ps2 games, and it was exciting to learn / study to optimize a game. Now we have the 7 remake and it's as if youtube is the remade version of those old study guides.. It's a full remake for a new generation; it's exciting to relive a little bit of past with the lens of the present. Thanks
Wow you just sent me on a nostalgia trip! I remember and had those same feelings too haha. I never thought of that tbh and now it's eye opening. I used to use this website gamefaq a lot to help out with strategies and guides etc. Gamewinners as well for secret cheats and Easter eggs with metal gear lol. I feel happy knowing my content and many others is keeping that practice a live, I didn't even come to realize it until you just mentioned it haha. Thanks for that man
This advanced guide is fantastic. You nailed it dude. You were asking about more advanced setups, so here's mine. Hardmode 'Desperate Striker' build Weapon: Purple pain (maxed) Materia: Luck 2x (maxed) Elemental+ Fire/Ice/Wind ect (maxed) Binding Materia (maxed) Atb stagger (maxed) Accessory: Fury ring Against elemental weak enemies, chi 3 and low hp, pressure the enemy and just before stagger, use Berzerk into Starshower, and this will transition most of SS damage with the stagger multiplier. Immediately follow up with >True stike (9999 damage) >Rise and Fall(over 9999), >True strike (9999) >Omnistrike (9999) >Whirling into Divekick (over 9999) This is so over kill on normal but can be used in hard mode. Also another tip: Fury ring is a 28% boost to both PHYSICAL AND MAGIC ATTACKS
Awesome build it's really a desperate striker for real! Fury ring brings beserk and beserk raises attack but raises how much damage you take basically lowering defense. So it sounds right up my alley and fun haha
@@BltzZ For sure. Tifa definitely does take some insane damage (65% more) with this build but IMO it's the closest I have gotten to a minmaxed glass cannon (450% damage). For this setup, during stagger 1st true strike hits with a 40x multiplier from the attack stat. This is 4.5 times what true strike does vanilla So you really are getting the high risk high reward experience
@@BltzZ haha I know you're joking but there's some truth to how barrier builds don't have a high risk high reward feel. Speaking of survivability, I just want to point out that every time you double your defense stat, you get 10% damage reduction, times how many doublings have occurred. For example 57 is the lowest defense at max rank 50. Doubling it to 114 will reduce damage by 10%. Doubling it again to 228 would bring it 30% (first doubling 10% x1 + second doubling 10% x 2). As of right now, 228 is the highest def stat that can be achieved (by Barret ofc) using provoke/lifesaver with him when tifa is in red hp is really a great way to ensure her survivability. Another way is to give her shield with Aerith's limit break. Tifa (as well as the rest of the team) is immune to stun with shield buff
I'm only half joking haha tbh I'd rather play with riskier builds it feels more rewarding and gets the heart pumping. I love provoke on Barret it helps with those increased back attack damages
It's one of the coolest looking cancels in this game! Soon as they're pressured I am spamming it! Reminds of in Advent children when cloud at the end is fighting and does omnislash and how he dashes around the screen.
I also recommend the Transference Module as an accessory for Tifa. She blows through so much ATB so fast that you're almost always guaranteed a limit break, even in relatively short fights.
I plan to make a whole video talking about the potential fighting styles of Cid, Vincent, Yuffie, Caitsith and Red 13. I'm a dragoon main in ff14 so I can't wait to see what cid can do! I hope he has the wildest and craziest jumps we ever imagined. Red 13 could be a shaman or Red Mage build. Yuffie is definitely a ninja but could have some dancer abilities too! Oh man!
Amazing Guide on Tifa! Easily the best character to use throughout the FF7 Remake due to the combo, i just love to spam starshower! Good work to Square Enix and i hope to see more of Tifa in Part 2
The best and the most fun!! I absolutely love switching between all of them on the fly but when it comes to playing as tifa I sometimes go a bit too crazy ham as her haha
Of course! She's my definite main. I just finished the Barret Advanced guide and it's uploading tomorrow around 11am omg you have to see this melee build I came up with! It's absolutely crazy and makes melee Barret so much fun to just go ham with!
@@BltzZ not to mention since she use unbridled strengh so many times too... Cloud with gotterdammerung and tifa with transference module, it's wrecking crew 💪
I really appreciate how each character have their individual perks. And whichever one you like to main, micro managing your teammates is easy as well. I'm soooooo excited for more characters going forward.
Thank! I love her and her combat design so much everything about her is perfect. after finish the game i still feel like I can’t play her the way i should. this could help a lot great work!
watching your guides does not spoil the fun in playing FF7R rather enhances it. Your guides are truly stimulus for me to explore and create my own combat setup. For example, sonic striker is actually my favourite Tifa's weapon coz it's fast and enables me to use many more abilities during the game (still in my 1st playthrough).
The last time I was this early, I thought Zack was dead. Great job, been waiting for this one big time. Didn't realize the True Strike combo or know about dodging to get out of stunlock. Truly flawless combat design, massive props to the devs. Like you, I've found Barret extremely satisfying to play too, despite his simple playstyle. Boys will be boys I guess...big badass with a gunarm blowing shit up, what's not to like!?
Beefy strong gun arm man with amazing healing capability and magical eyes lol. Yooo Barret is my shit man great minds think alike lol. True strike combo is a God send! Constantly up their damage for the rest of the party
For Tifa: I also use feathered Gloves but I also forgo the ATB Assist and Steadfast Block instead opting for a full Warding Materia + Time. This enables Tifa to never be slowed or Stopped as this usually breaks my momentum in battle as well as usually cast haste on herself pretty much when every battle starts.
I am a new player to final fantasy 7 remake and I am also really enjoying Tifa. But I usually like balanced builds for all characters. My damage maybe not be super high but everyone has something for the right situation. So essentially all my characters are Jack of all trades. So I enjoy purple pain on Tifa just to get a little healing some casting and my absolute combo of chi trap and star shower.
Just want to say that this is such a very well done and well explained video and on Tifa combat system and advance play. While many people can make these video's there is always a lot in the details left unexplained or not properly explained. But many the details are so well explained here that it makes the video that much more awesome, relevant and important in playing the game and for maximum enjoyment of character. I just want to highlight the part where you explained the Materia and how Parry works on Tifa. I had no damn idea that it was different on each character and the details of how Tifa executes and slides. You gave these details time to explain and well importantly demonstrate for us to see and importantly visually understand. These kind of things elevate a video and understanding to make it more awesome a video. Thus you do pay attention to the details and in explaining things and just awesome. Thus i decided to Sub as well. Excellent job man, well done and continue to pay attention to explaining the details or demonstrating it.
Awe man that means a lot to hear! Plenty of hard work goes into making these and to hear you acknowledge all of that makes it all worth it. This video could have only 5 views but your one comment absolutely made my day and is worth much more! Thanks again man. I'm uploading the Barret Advanced guide tomorrow morning I cannot wait for you guys to see it! Focusing on bringing the same quality and improving with each video release!
@@BltzZ Was still watching the video as i kept rewinding and watching many sequences to visually see and understand some things you explained. That's all because its so well done a video. I understand it takes hard work and that's like anything good. The quality of your work will always pay off in the end. It may take a lot of time, but the quality of your work is always noticed by the people that care. And people care a lot about the details as well visually understanding things. You doing great!!!!
Wow only 10k subs when this was uploaded, you have done well over the last 3 years! Glad to see that your still around, these guides really helped me in FF7 remake. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with in Rebirth!
OMG ! I had no idea True Strike raises the staggered meter! My gosh, unreal. thanks again B.just got my 300% staggered trophy .... it was all Tifa, didn’t even use Barret or cloud ... THATS MY GIRL ❤️❤️❤️😍
Awesome to hear! True strike is such a cool ability I love using it as tifa. Dude if you get a chance be sure to check out the barret advanced guide. I have some sick melee build setup that's insanely fun.
Dude, I feel ya when it comes to the Purple Pain. The same thing happened to me on my first playthrough. I knew a cool weapon for Tifa was coming, and it had the True Strike ability. Was very much looking forward to it. Unfortunately, I past right by it. By the time I realized, it was long behind me and I couldn't go back to get it. Guess that's what chapter select is for. At least it's early on in that chapter. A materia combo I love using for Tifa is a linked pair of Deadly Dodge & HP Absorb. You get a special set of 3 (I think it was three) whirling kicks with about 5 to 7 hits. With the HP Absorb materia paired, all of those hits restore a small amount of HP. With your technique of canceling out of Focused Strike with a dodge, you could potentially restore a fair amount of health. Just throwing this in here: One of my favorite combos is: Overpower > Focuesed Strike> Attack once for the diving split kick > Hold the attack button for the Rising Uppercut > Finish with Divekick. Looks cool AF. GRATZ on 10K!!!!
Thank you so much! I'm absolutely happy right now and cannot wait for the future. Till then we are enjoying the moment but going to keep the grind going! That's a great combination I was trying to level it up so i could include it in a build, But i decided to leave it out and talk about it in another build! Thanks for sharing tho i really appreciate that. Haha we both did the same exact thing man I was so disappointed during my lets play when I upload it you guys will see lmao. I walked all the way back but could not climb back onto the car haha.
You're welcome! Happy to hear this is still helping out many others too! We are still making guides for bosses on hard mode and cool character builds as well. Feel free to checkout our instant limit break build and infinite health build when you get a chance! Enjoy and stay tuned for more :)
I could NOT beat chapter 18 on hard mode until I saw this video and the materia set up on Tifa. Once I changed things up a bit, was Tifa damn near unstoppable. Thanks for the help
Your videos are phenomenal. Only place I’ve found to help understand best time and purpose for each ability. Like I had no clue what chi trap was good for. Great work! Looking forward to more.
I absolutely LOVE that you went over every single tree for every single weapon, I dig the hell out of that! I do have one quick correction tho. Her Elemental Materia 10% buff does not increase the damage of her spells. It simply increases the damage that her physical attacks will do when equipping her weapon with the Elemental Materia and a Magic based Materia that adds that element to her attacks. So if you have the Elemental Materia maxed out it will increase the Elemental damage from 23% to 33%. Just thought I'd point that out. It's still a great ability as she is the best character to have that Elemental Materia on when you know what elemental weakness your upcoming foes will have.
Oh damn I wasn't sure if it came off that way sorry about that if it did. But I meant elemental damage in regards to the materia 23 going to 33 like you said haha. All good tho I appreciate you bringing it to my attention! Future guides will follow this exact format so no worries!
@@BltzZ Ah, maybe I misunderstood then. It sounded to me like you were saying that elemental spells damage was increased. Might be my badd, I dunno lol.
So glad I found this tutorial. Up until watching your video I had no idea how valuable Chi Trap could be. I thought I was using Tifa well but you’ve given me so much valuable information! Thanks. Subbed!
That's so awesome to hear man! You're absolutely welcome. Clouds advanced guide is out now too but I'm working on Barret and aerith as we speak. Going to keep the same quality and consistency with the others as I did the tifa guide :) he sure to check out the stagger pressure video for amazing techs the game doesn't explain. It will change everything for you
BltzZ thanks man. Am I right in saying that to up Tifa’s chi level I just press Unbridled Strength multiple times? This isn’t explained well in the game!
So by default tifa is in chi level 1, you unbridled strength 1 time to go to chi level 2 so you have access to more combos and omnistrike. Then you chi level again and get to chi level 3 with rise and fall and max combos. You should only activate unbridled strength a max of 2 times. Anything more doesn't do anything but refresh the timer of how long it lasts. Hope this helps!
I Never was good with materia setups, but feel pretty happy we playing Tifa pretty similar, especially Feathered Gloves wise (honestly, best glove style, to me). Honestly gonna be helpful when getting around to finishing hard while waiting for rebirth. She's my favorite character in general in the game, and sooo looking foward to playing her in Rebirth too. Was super satisfying practicing and then getting 300% stagger with her for the first time XD
Yay, ATB Stagger and ATB Assist! :D I do map Unbridled Strength unto Triangle because that's the same button for spending Chi on Rise and Fall and Omnistrike; L1 + Triangle to build Chi, Triangle to spend Chi. Pretty intuitive, at least for me. I also put the Time Materia on Tifa because not only does it let her Haste herself, it also synergizes with her great Staggering ability by letting her pull off the Stagger-Stop combo. Not sure if you've covered this in your previous videos, but casting Stop on a Staggered enemy freezes the Stagger bar, giving you more time to build the damage bonus percentage. Another thing I like to do with Tifa is to give her the Refocus Materia, and pair it with the Clarity Pendant accessory. When she uses the Refocus LB, she gets a full bar of 3 ATB charges immediately as well; that can really turn the tide of a battle. And together with Haste and Tifa's natural ability to build ATB fast, it's crazy how she can bust out her abilities near-constantly.
Actually yes I have covered that amazing combo of stagger and time in my stagger pressure video :). I like your setup! Tifa is a monster in this game and it's amazing to see how many different combinations you guys come up with I enjoy reading about them while also improving my builds with it as well. Super thankful that you enjoy the content! I can't wait to bring you Barret and aerith!
Awesome job, man! I'm finding she's usually my go to controlled character. Took your advice w Cloud and went mythril Saber black mage build. That way his ATB block with steadfast chains into HUGGGE nukes while Tifa builds the stagger and Barret tanks like a boss
You're playing the game exactly as they intended! That's a straight up MMO composition right there man haha. I can't wait I hope they add co-op VR id love to tackle some crazy hard bosses with you all. Tifa is definitely my go to too!
If it's ranged I duo with Barret and Tifa because tifas air combos are OMG. But regular enemies I choose tifa and cloud because clouds AOE and triple slash destroys mobs while tifa locks people down with her pressure and chi traps!!
Another great guide man! I really enjoy Tifa's combat disegn aswell, and she's absolutely my favourite when it comes to one on one fights. Speaking about her weapons tho, I must say I really like the Feathered gloves too but I used them only in the Shinra Combat Simulator or in Chadley's battles, cause you have mp recovery. During hard mode ng+ I always used Sonic strikers cause casting curaga for 9mp is a great help. About her build instead, I always make sure she carries a Time materia: Haste is incredible for her combos and you can also use Stop on staggered enemies to freeze the stagger bar aswell! Can't wait for your next videos, keep up the good work!
Ayyye I see you man! I love that more people are using the stop materia! Yeah definitely need that MP in hard mode it's crazy valuable. On hard mode you definitely wanna have a magic friendly and MP build. The reduced costs to healing really are a game changer
Pro tip: Starshower's damage buff only applies to the next Ability/Triangle Attacks/Limit Break if it's cast IMMEDIATELY right after Starshower. To be safe cast the next Ability or Limit Break using shortcuts or slowmo/tactical mode while Starshower's animation is still playing so the buff is guaranteed to apply to the next attack
I love all the characters in this game and how they play. That's not something I say for every RPG out there. I have more fun playing with Tifa and Barret as well.
Barret on paper sounds like he wouldn't be fun when compared to the others but God damn they did a good job with the combat for everyone. I love every chance I'm forced to switch
Ive always loved how materia changes up and adds variety to gameplay with tifa there are many combinations for sure but the must have ones are just soooo good
@@BltzZ You should post the date(s) non intrusively at the end of your normal content so there is larger awareness of when to watch you. That's the easiest way to get followers and subs, make access to the information obvious. I think you'd do great on twitch too.
Nice video, I used the exact same stagger combo with Tifa. I love the focused strike + deadly dodge combo. A few things I'd like to mention though. 1. Parry is great for juggling, once you knock an enemy into the air you can attack them until they are about to land and cancel your attack by sliding into them to pop them back up, keeping them air-borne indefinitely. 2. I think first strike is a really bad choice for Tifa's speed build. With that set-up one ATB per fight is incredibly meaningless to her, you are using a materia slot to save a second of attacking. Why give Tifa such a small bonus when you could be allowing Cloud to open with a triple slash and have Barret/Aerith buff up? I'd recommend HP absorb linked to deadly dodge for a survivability buff instead, especially considering the combo with focused strike.
I appreciate the build advice I started using HP absorb today to level it up to use with deadly dodge it's almost at max now! I have first strike on tifa and cloud, I like it on tifa because incase she doesn't start off in chi level 2 I can throw it on really quick. But if she does then I get to go chi level 3 from the beginning. I prefer to use Barret over aerith and with Barret not having first strike I'm ok with because he starts off every fight with overcharge which gives him 1 full ATB when you use it on an enemy. So in a way he can start off with atb from using overcharge. Not to mention if tifa has no chi and she starts off with 2 atb I can unbridled twice and give atb to cloud and Barret both thanks to her having atb assist. Sorry for the long explanation I just wanted to explain what I was going for
Wow !! Truly remarkable BltzZ. I was hoping for something like this to be shared by you and you didn't disappoint at all. Thanks to you I just got the 300% staggered trophy right now where Tifa did that insane damage on Fat Chocobo. That fight is a breeze thanks to you. Cheers and much love from India.
Wow that's amazing to see these videos have such a far reach! I'm Guyanese, West Indian haha. I'm happy to hear you got that trophy done easy! Tifa is such a beast for those stagger damaging combos and increasing the teams overall damage! Always spend that ATB
@@BltzZ You, Shirrako and Xuses are my favourite RUclipsrs amongst the likes of Maximillian Dood who's just amazing to watch and follow. I just love how he doesn't shy away from keeping his emotions in check. I've followed him through his journey of FFVII remake and he's just a cut above the rest. As for your videos, keep up the great work. Also, I am having difficulties beating the last mission in Shinra Simulator (the one that has the secret Pride n Joy Prototype). Somehow can't get pass Bahamut and Ifrit combo. I've spent over the last 4 hours trying to beat them but to no avail. Guyanese huh? Lol!! You're my half brother then. Cheers and do your thing bud. Always there to help and support in any way I can.
Hahaha oh man maximillian dood is my favorite RUclipsr! I've been watching him since 2012 with his injustice videos on Batgirl and he sort of inspired me to make videos on fighting games. It only got enhanced more when I found out his favorite game of all time is my favorite game of all time haha. That's a solid list of RUclipsrs and I'm so happy to be amongst them in your top favorites!
@@BltzZ Give me a materia build for this mission. Xuses did a live stream yesterday and did it with such ease that my jaw dropped. Can you imagine he beat up Bahamut so bad that he remained pressured throughout the round and died without summoning Ifrit? It was a treat to watch. Also, I don't have the Champion Belt since I couldn't do the squat as well as pull up challenge. I couldn't beat Jules in that challenge.
YES! Another great informative video! I will definitely give these Tifa builds out for sure man. I've been using the metal knuckles on her for a while but now i'll give the feather gloves a go. Appreciate another in depth guide homie :) I can't wait for the Barret and Aerith advance guide videos. Hope all is well and take care man.
I love both metal knuckles and feathered gloves! Let me know what you think about he feathered gloves. Always appreciate seeing you comment here! I can't wait I wanna start working on them today but I need a 1 days break haha. Will be back in the lab tomorrow or even later tonight! Stay safe friend.
@@BltzZ Yo! those feathered gloves and materia combo you suggested in your video is life bro. I've been recking with it even in hard mode play through. Definitely a great brawler choice setup for her. Awesome build!
Enjoy dude! They are absolutely fun and we got some other crazy ones too. Checkout the infinite health build, instant limit break build and the unlimited ATB build to have insane fun. And borderline break the game haha
@@BltzZJust finished your advanced Barret guide, will check those out as well! Can't believe I was playing the game like such a basic bih before. Sure it got me pretty far, I just got that Ultimate Weapon trophy, but without these next level strats, I think it was harder (and less fun) than it needed to be. We gon bust out the crazy shit for the hard mode playthru for the plat tho, specially with Tifa. Thanks again, you're doing the playerbase good with these
Awesome guide! Personally I wouldn't have steadfast block on Tifa as I think if you're staying still and blocking with her, you're not really playing to her strengths. On hard mode I'd swap it out for revive vs. bosses unless you're supremely confident no-one is going to die! Against normal mobs, I'd probably either link a HP absorption to deadly dodge to leech some HP while you're doing those combos, or just use chakra/prayer for some free healing that helps stretch out your precious MP on hard mode.
I have an even crazier use of HP absorb on a melee build for Barret that works with everyone in the cast! Be sure to check that advanced Barret guide out it'll blow your mind 😁! Yup I'd recommend switching to revive for hard mode. I have 3 steadfast blocks so I figure one on each character is enough to benefit on AI controls. With tifa I notice when you spam and move around with parry, any hits she takes counts as a block if you're holding R1. Need further testing but I've seen it occur haha
im an expert for the classical game from 97´ and now im sitting here like fricking noob, learning on how to be boss with my favourite character in the remake :3 Thank you, sir ^^
Ahaha no worries you are welcome! I hope you enjoyed this because this Barret Advanced guide is blowing even my mind with some of the builds I have. They're just too much fun
@@BltzZ i cant wait to see what yuffie, vincent and red got for us :D Yuffie need to have so sick combos like in FFXV comrades and vincent need dem jumps and marksmen skills from the movie ^^ cid gonna be lit AF with his dragoonspear action! jumping right into the AoE to deal some heccing damage :D boi part 2 gon be awesome! i hope they get it right ^^
@@BltzZ I'm also dragoon main in FF14. Its like the best class in my opinion and i hope they make cid much more viable in the remake. Like sick jumping combos paired with strong single blows
I made my Tifa build a Red Mage w/ Sonic Strikers; Magnify Heal with the 20% off heal spells (And Auto Cure if Aerith’s not around), offensive spells with MP and Magic Up, Deadly Dodge and her standard melee attacks. It’s not a be all end all OP build, but it’s one that worked very well when I played. Makes her a well rounded unit, like a true Red Mage.
@@BltzZ I ran my Red Mage Tifa in my playthrough of FF7 Remake, she dies a lot because Red Mage + Monk means little defense. Maybe a Chain Bangle will help with that? And thanks, I hope you consider my LP set for Tifa. :P
Chain bangle very well could! But the aggro system in remake makes it difficult to control one character the whole time. You gotta swap every 5-7 seconds to keep enemies focused on the AI teammates essentially. And rack up serious damage. For fun, check out the instant limit break build we have and the infinite health build as well as the unlimited atb build! You are going to love it
Thank you so much! With your support I have no doubt we definitely will one day! I'll be sure to keep pumping out these epic gudies for you all. Finishing up advanced Barret guide right now as we speak!
I swear this game focused on best bae from beginning to end haha. Her combat absolutely shreds I can't wait for remake part 2 to see how yuffie and Vincent all play
Yup! I was saying in another comment that I never cared to use him as a kid and I most definitely would in remake because of how much effort they put into making characters so unique and fun! Like Barret is just a long range shooter nothing special when you describe it that way. But the actuality of how they designed his combat and the abilities mann are so different. I'm just excited I can't wait to play everyone haha
bestgirl; waifu; bestbea: all correct. Honestly Tifa should be the next level to describe a character. "Oh man, Yayoi is bestgirl" "nah, dude. even more than that. She tifa level"
I never played a game that makes every character super fun to play with until this beautiful game came out. And your guides are super helpful, I learned so many new things with them, so I really have to thank you for making them. Can't wait for your Aerith and Barret advanced combat guide.
So one of my favorite materia combo for Tifa is HP absorption and deadly dodge. I basically do the first build you mentioned and just focus strike and deadly dodge to pressure them and keep my health healed. I’m not sure how practical it is but I use it all the time lol
Excellent content, lots of details but not complicated to understand. I've been working on a crit hit build for Tifa, damage is pretty crazy.... Gave her the chocobo summon too for extra luck stats
Purple pain with 2 luck materias right? I feel like the possibilities are so endless I can make videos about individual weapons like that haha. Would you guys be interested in that?
@@BltzZ Sounds good, agree there are so many possibilities to builds. Would be great to see some team builds too, smashed the secret boss with a great team build focused with fifa generating atb for 2 other team members constantly. Felt amazing!
I had it on her for when Ifrit got summoned, all other materia was either for her HP or ATB charge generating. Gotterdammerung with refocus, skill master and atb boost was the key I think.
HP Absorbtion linked with deadly dodge, and if you really wanna get buck wild with her combos replace first strike and steadfast block with skill master and refocus and make sure to have transference module equipped as her accessory.
Focused strike also builds 1 ATB bar upon landing the hit on an enemy, so the cost of it is actually pretty much free. If you put ATB Assist on Tifa, there's endless generation of ATB for your entire team
Yup that's our gameplan with that first build especially! Deadly dodge canceling the focused strikes look sooo beautiful with her animations and the particles emitted
Thank you very much for the guide! I love using focused strike then parry to cancel the delay and use focused strike again(I use this combo everytime enemy in pressure). Now I need to unlock true strike for increase stagger percent because im still in chapter 14
I love doing that as well! Add deadly dodge to the mix to increase her damage output if you have the space when you get more materia slots! It's really good on her as well. True strike is going to change the game just make sure you don't miss the weapon like I did! Had to beat the game then chapter select to get it haha
Awesome! Yeah make sure you get that last one then! I did not look at any of the last of us spoilers or the plotline I'm trying to avoid it like covid 19 so I can have a genuine reaction for you guys when I stream it :)
I'm sure tons of people have mentioned it but HP absorb+deadly dodge is super good in hardmode. Also ATB Stagger and Skill Master materia are both busted. Oh, one more thing. Steadfast Block reduces the damage taken while parry sliding around, so just another reason to use it lol.
Yup steadfast and parry are just made for tifa I swear haha. Be sure to check out my Barret guide for the enemy skill and HP absorb combo that's legit my absolute favorite in the game!
I love this battle system and this is coming from someone grew up playing the og ff7 as a kid. She's almost like Chun li mixed with ryu and that slide dodge like sub zero lol she's amazing though
@@BltzZ I've been keeping up with your videos so far with ff7 remake the only content creator I can watch fully keep it up bro 👍 makes me want to get back to twitch and stream again lol
I have tried that deadly dodge + focused strike combination and damn Tifa became even more of a beast. I love it. Then when the enemy is staggered I use Starshower. I use parry when I want to have more fun during the battle. Damn.
To further add to the devastation: If you know an enemy isn't immune to Stop, cast it on them while they're Staggered to prevent the stagger bar from depleting. This combined with Aerith's Ray of Judgment and Tifa's natural stagger bonus buildup, you can really bring down the pain. Also, don't knock Parry on Barret. Barret has the longest Parry animation, but because of how Parry works, he remains in a blocking state a lot longer, so you can basically shoulder-tackle through enemy attacks that would otherwise knock you down/away or interrupt you, with a large margin of error to boot. It's EXTREMELY useful especially for those moves that do multiple hits.
Yup and crash the game in the process with all that damage ticking! Lol I'm going to probably do Aeriths advanced guide before Barrets but I'm unsure atm
I didn't come up with this combo myself, but for whoever is on hard mode mage duty pair: Local Elemental Weakness + Magnify Local Elemental Weakness + MP Absorp This effectively causes a three way link and you regain MP for EVERY enemy hit by the spell. Combine this with Aerith's stupid high mag attack and she can cast offensive spells FOR FREE. EDIT: Not even mentioning crap like Mythril Staff's offensive discount, full MP 20% mag attack boost, and Arcane Ward. So, so dirty...
Damn thats really good! Aerith sounds like the hard mode Go to! MP is so valuable you got to reserve as much as possible I appreciate you sharing that man thank you!
@@BltzZ Yeah some dude on a forum told me that when I complained about not being able to use offensive magic except on bosses in hard mode and he dropped that on me. I was like "there's no way," tested it, and my jaw dropped. EDIT: Still can't go nuts with the -aga tier spells, but then you never really can.
Oh. You can also throw in HP absorb on the same element AGAIN for a four-way link and have her self-heal constantly. It's friggin absurd. It really comes down to how many slots you're willing to trade.
@@BltzZ Sure you figured this out already but Silver Staff is actually the weapon I was thinking of. Reprieve, both versions of MP Saver, MP regen + 50%, elemental damage boosts, and Mag attack + 20% at full MP. Mythril has mag attack + 20% but lacks MP saver and MP regen up. It can totally work though if you push the numbers high enough with Mag Up materia and accessories. Just that Silver has a lot of other nice-to-haves that Mythril doesn't. EDIT: Get to save slots on MP Up though, since once the loop is established she's good to go pretty much forever.
Hey man that's all good! Maybe you can replay once you see that crazy enemy skill combo I made a video for today! :) Best for melee characters and right up Tifa's Alley!
@@BltzZ Ohh! I'll check it out! Yeah in the video I just posted I made a point to talk about how I just couldn't utilize her properly when I really needed her. And I'm a guy that has over 90 hours on the game. Yet I'm still learning stuff LOL Lovin these guides!
Yup! If you have magic ups more leveled up unlike me you can put crazy tick damage with this build. It's a really fun ability that I wouldve never expected to be in her kit haha
@@BltzZ Boosting crit chance and getting her into Berserk combined with Sharshower and her limit break makes her nasty. Throw the Götterdämmerung on her, ATB Boost, Skill Master, ATB Stagger and Elemental Materia and she is a monster. I think that takes advantage of all the damage and speed boosts in the game. That plus Haste.
I would personally add Enemy Skill at her disposal, the aura provided by Siphon or Algid Aura is pretty good considering she's always up in their faces.
That extra DPS is really good on tifa and cloud! I saw an interesting comment I've yet to try out. I need to max out warding but apparently with max warding you can use self destruct and survive haha
Tifa is killing the popularity right now! This video shows it too most definitely. Up next will be some materia videos maybe another tip video then I'll hop back onto with Barret and aerith asap them team fighting! I wanna cover all party members before talking about team fighting build. But I can't wait to do so!

Super helpful stuff here. I feel less anxiety starting a hard mode play thru t ha is to these videos. I started on easy but didn’t expect it to be THAT east. So I have a steeper hill to climb in terms of acclimating myself to the rhythm of normal and hard.
No problem man I'm happy to always help you guys out! If you have any questions always feel free to comment I'll do my best to respond!
I'd love for them to implement a very hard mode and also add VR coop missions for online play! That would be enough to hold me over for the next few months haha
If they wanna make crazy money they'd consider it haha
Her combat design is seriously one of the best things about this game!
They put so much effort into her and it definitely shows. From the dialouge, battle animations, overall design man they killed it!
@@BltzZ Proves in of itself even the Devs love Tifa like the fans do so much :3
Correction, her character design overall is one of the best things about this game.
Definitely just her combat 😅
The fact that the Starshower buff can also work on Tifa's limit breaks makes it even more crazier
That sequence must look insane I can only imagine haha
Im sorry what?!! Thats so awesome! I platinum the game and didnt even think to try that!
Tifa is a goddamn MACHINE. I really hope somewhere down the line she'll end up in a Tekken, DOA or Smash Bros game as a guest fighter.
Fingers crossed bro i have my hopes up it may be smash but i hope she appears in all!
BltzZ no
Yes?
BltzZ clearly no
Dang why so negative? If we don't ask we won't get it sooo atleast we got to try
After playing this game I seriously can’t play anything else. As you’re showcasing here the combat is amazing.
That's amazing to hear man im happy i got you hooked! I got plenty more where this came from too for other characters so stay tuned!
Idk i love Tifa but wont really be picking up this game
I feel the same way! I just can't get into other games ever since I played this game.. It feels evolutionary.. Everything about the game, from it's mechanics to it's storytelling is just so well refined.. It's unbelievably good!
Why is that?
It's too much fun and trying out new materia combinations is just sooo interesting for me. It offers a lot of replay value
Thanks for taking the time to share! The physical prowess of Tifa is a joy to watch and harness during combat! She is the only one for me so far that enables me to achieve 200%+ stagger percentages! All the best!
At first I was so not used to her because I felt she died too fast, and then I learned focused strike gives you inv frames... then... then I was truly in love
And a full ATB bar back after it lands so we can spam and overwhelm enemies :) love love love tifa!
This is a great guide. I appreciate how you show more than just one build for her too. Your growth on your channel is well deserved. Best of luck to you!
Thank you so much man I'm just doing what I love and that's breaking down characters for you guys to master and learn! I appreciate the kind words man stay safe out there, you and your family
Tifa and Cloud's ground combat is precisely why I adore the fighting system in this game. Air battles are indeed absurd, but since it's not that prevalent in this game. I didn't mind it too much.
Yeah plus Barret can nuke them easily in the air anyways. I love tifas air combat in chi level 3 I forgot to mention that in this video haha but it's in the original tifa guide. The combat for Cloud and Tifa are so satisfying!
BltzZ literally though! You’re absolutely right!
Barret and Aerith really do perform great against those winged pests.
I am curious about what you’re saying about Tifa’s Chi Level 3 though...
Tifa has crazy long combos in the air when you are in chi level 2 or 3. Level 3s long combos consistent of crazy dbz aerial fighting moves and a sick overhead fist bash at the end haha try it out on a flying enemy it's beautiful. Just wish the tracking was better
BltzZ oh I didn’t know that haha I’ll have to try that for sure!
Geez it’s kinda nuts that even now I’m still learning a lot about the combat system haha
I mean I just a few days ago I was informed about the Parry Materia granting Tifa an ability to attack cancel into a slide, which greatly increases her survivability and mobility.
No worries man this game has a lot of depth there are plenty of things I'm finding out every day as well!
Absolutely fantastic video, thank you. I was so intrigued that I had to pause midway through to test out what I’d learned. I’d been really struggling with using Focused Strike and Overpower, and wasn’t really building stagger effectively with them. Focused Strike + Deadly Dodge (bonus HP absorb) was a revelation, as was Overpower finishing with Tifa’s combos depending on her chi level. Seeing Tifa’s combos broken down was fantastic, too, as previously her combos had become an overwhelming blur. Now I can see where her x8 combo finishes, and where her final combo chain finishes. Tifa had been my favorite character to play as, but I hadn’t known how use her effectively outside of stagger - this video was a revelation, truly. After experimenting with what you suggested, everything about her move set clicked into place, and the newfound flow to Tifa’s combat was a joy. Thank you for this highly detailed Tifa vid, along with the Cloud Advanced Guide. I’m looking forward to Aerith and Barrett’s Advanced Guides, too. Superb work.
I'm ecstatic to read this! I'm so happy you found these helpful and for sure the Barret and aerith guides will follow the same detailed formula! See you guys soon
Love tifa. Her moves are so mesmerizing, a combination of ferocity and elegance. Definitely best character in the remake so far!
It's crazy how she was always my favorite character and now even moreso they did her justice in this game! The combat is just crazy wild. The amount of crazy stuff you can pull off in this game is cool..I have an advanced Barret guide talking about the sickest setup. Enemy skill with HP absorb
@@BltzZ I think she might only et beaten by Vincent once he's playable. :D
I'd love that! My original team was always cloud Vincent and red 13 and mannnn I'll main Vincent all day!
@@BltzZ Yep, though I predict you going with Vincent, Tifa and Cid. :P You mentioned you love playing as a Dragoon and you also seem to love the Tifa gameplay so these three might be a great team.
Yup! I hope we can remove cloud from the party and fully customize it. I'd love if they did what ff10 does where all party members are available in fights! But you're absolutely right my main team would have to have cid in it. I just keep thinking about those jumps in ff14 haha
It’s nice to see someone that likes tifa as much as I do, at the beginning I found her kind of hard to play but then I figured it out and I fall in love with her. Love that your tips n tricks are well explained and definitely I’m going to use it with her, I just hope to be as good as you are. You have a new subscriber here! Greetings from Mexico.
Awesome to hear man! I absolutely adore tifa in this game. I can't wait for you to see this pride and joy guide with how amazing tifa and aerith are as a team!
@@BltzZ This is going to sound waaasay too corny, but I love, love Tifa and Aerith friendship. They really have an amazing chemistry. Can't wait to see that chemistry playing out in battle, which I am hoping you to teach us. Btw, adored your tips on Tifa; she is a monster on the battlefield (and I mean it in a good way) ;)
Yup! Currently working on the full team build for hard mode and how you should be playing them as a unit and chemistry :) should be out by Wednesday! Stay tuned for that you won't want to miss it :) btw not at all corny. Their friendship feels great and seeing them in battle and in cutscenes interacting is a dream come true from the childhood longtime fan in me
In this game, playing Tifa is like playing Bayonetta while everyone else is playing Dark Souls
That's actually a pretty good comparison haha!
@@BltzZ Btw, just out of interest, what are your thoughts on the Skill Master materia on Tifa? Do you find that she's fast enough already that she doesn't really need to purposely rotate her moves to proc Skill Master all the time, or is it more a case of personal preference?
I think she is fast already and skill materia is so hard for me to mentally prepare myself to use on tifa haha I always use the same two moves back to back and skill master requires you to use 3 unique moves. I think if you are actively going for it and set your playstyle for it, it can work for sure. But maybe it would be better if you have Gotterdammerung plus refocus for 3atb bars. Dude I'm going to have to finish this Barret guide tomorrow. My new favorite combination in this game is Melee Barret with pincers + Enemy skill(Algid Auda) + HP absorb! He's a beefy Tank and cannot be killed it's insane I spent so much time just mauling mobs over ahaha
@@BltzZ :D
I'm looking forward to it. I didn't know you could cancel the last shot of his hold square autoattack into his Charge animation. So glad there's tech for everyone.
Can't wait to finish it for you guys!
I would like to see you do a video just postulating what kind of mechanics future characters will have such as cid or vincent. You have a fantastic grasp on the game and i honestly feel you are probably the only person id watch theories from.
I'd be more than happy to do that! Vincent was my favorite character and I know a whole lot about dragoons now from ff14. I mained that class and I can tell cid will be a monster! I will definitely get these done thanks for the idea and I appreciate you saying that.
I second this!
Vincent's my favorite character in the entire series! I've been so hyped for the next game already. Just imagining blasting enemies with my pistol with the metal arm, Vincent's hair and red cloak flying as I run and dodge, transforming into demons like his LB's are mini-summons. How will he NOT be awesome? Still hyped for Nanaki and Yuffie combat too. She was sorta lame in the original, throwing a giant wheel lol, but she should be awesome with chakrams, kicks, and flips. A combo of FFXIV's Ninja and Dancer could be amazingly fun. I don't even know what to expect from Nanaki! So hyped just for combat alone XD
Yooo if that blend dancer and ninja for yuffie I will lose my shit! They will seriously make it hard to choose who to play haha. I hope we get that freedom the original provided. Being able to have different dialogue and scenes when we have different party members with us!
Great idea for a video. Maybe even predicting story elements. “How many timelines will there be? Can we make the original happen? Does the affection stat (who you date) affect who Seph kills? Will it be your most affectionate or least?
Cannot wait to see the Aerith guide :)
I won't let you down!
You’re at it once again man! I’d like to think I do a decent job at using her but seeing other suggestions like this can really help inspire ideas I would’ve otherwise never have thought about. Also I’m willing to bet you’ll reach that 10k mark before the day ends!
Thank you! I think it may be soon within the hour but whenever it happens I'm just thankful for the support and I appreciate every single one of you guys! I'm the same way I love how everyone has different insight to characters. So the comments after these videos usually blow my mind and give me some more ideas I never thought of in the first place
I had no idea that Overpower acted as a shortcut to her combo finisher at level 2 chi. Super helpful! The only thing that wasn't highlighted here that I'm aware of is her Deadly Dodge attack chain that differs depending on her chi level. At level 3 she does an honest-to-God Street Fighter Ryu/Ken spinning kick (whatever it's called)! I didn't discover this until the Jenova fight!
Hurricane kick! Lol tifa keeps surprising even me man I swear!
Thanks for these guides. When I was a child I learned how to read well from pouring over the old paperback strategy guides they would pump out for ps1 / ps2 games, and it was exciting to learn / study to optimize a game. Now we have the 7 remake and it's as if youtube is the remade version of those old study guides.. It's a full remake for a new generation; it's exciting to relive a little bit of past with the lens of the present. Thanks
Wow you just sent me on a nostalgia trip! I remember and had those same feelings too haha. I never thought of that tbh and now it's eye opening. I used to use this website gamefaq a lot to help out with strategies and guides etc. Gamewinners as well for secret cheats and Easter eggs with metal gear lol. I feel happy knowing my content and many others is keeping that practice a live, I didn't even come to realize it until you just mentioned it haha. Thanks for that man
This advanced guide is fantastic. You nailed it dude. You were asking about more advanced setups, so here's mine.
Hardmode 'Desperate Striker' build
Weapon: Purple pain (maxed)
Materia:
Luck 2x (maxed)
Elemental+ Fire/Ice/Wind ect (maxed)
Binding Materia (maxed)
Atb stagger (maxed)
Accessory: Fury ring
Against elemental weak enemies, chi 3 and low hp, pressure the enemy and just before stagger, use Berzerk into Starshower, and this will transition most of SS damage with the stagger multiplier. Immediately follow up with >True stike (9999 damage)
>Rise and Fall(over 9999),
>True strike (9999)
>Omnistrike (9999)
>Whirling into Divekick (over 9999)
This is so over kill on normal but can be used in hard mode.
Also another tip: Fury ring is a 28% boost to both PHYSICAL AND MAGIC ATTACKS
Awesome build it's really a desperate striker for real! Fury ring brings beserk and beserk raises attack but raises how much damage you take basically lowering defense. So it sounds right up my alley and fun haha
@@BltzZ For sure. Tifa definitely does take some insane damage (65% more) with this build but IMO it's the closest I have gotten to a minmaxed glass cannon (450% damage). For this setup, during stagger 1st true strike hits with a 40x multiplier from the attack stat. This is 4.5 times what true strike does vanilla
So you really are getting the high risk high reward experience
If you're not risking it all in this game you aren't playing the game is what I say! Screw those barrier builds!
@@BltzZ haha I know you're joking but there's some truth to how barrier builds don't have a high risk high reward feel. Speaking of survivability,
I just want to point out that every time you double your defense stat, you get 10% damage reduction, times how many doublings have occurred. For example 57 is the lowest defense at max rank 50. Doubling it to 114 will reduce damage by 10%. Doubling it again to 228 would bring it 30% (first doubling 10% x1 + second doubling 10% x 2). As of right now, 228 is the highest def stat that can be achieved (by Barret ofc) using provoke/lifesaver with him when tifa is in red hp is really a great way to ensure her survivability. Another way is to give her shield with Aerith's limit break. Tifa (as well as the rest of the team) is immune to stun with shield buff
I'm only half joking haha tbh I'd rather play with riskier builds it feels more rewarding and gets the heart pumping. I love provoke on Barret it helps with those increased back attack damages
That Deadly Dodge -> Focused Strike loop tip brought a smile to my face. Nice find!
It's one of the coolest looking cancels in this game! Soon as they're pressured I am spamming it! Reminds of in Advent children when cloud at the end is fighting and does omnislash and how he dashes around the screen.
I also recommend the Transference Module as an accessory for Tifa. She blows through so much ATB so fast that you're almost always guaranteed a limit break, even in relatively short fights.
Especially when paired with the focused strike build where we weave the deadly dodge cancels in-between free focus strike procs of free ATB!
Man just thinking about what Vincent will play like makes me so excited for the next part.
I plan to make a whole video talking about the potential fighting styles of Cid, Vincent, Yuffie, Caitsith and Red 13. I'm a dragoon main in ff14 so I can't wait to see what cid can do! I hope he has the wildest and craziest jumps we ever imagined. Red 13 could be a shaman or Red Mage build. Yuffie is definitely a ninja but could have some dancer abilities too! Oh man!
Amazing Guide on Tifa! Easily the best character to use throughout the FF7 Remake due to the combo, i just love to spam starshower! Good work to Square Enix and i hope to see more of Tifa in Part 2
The best and the most fun!! I absolutely love switching between all of them on the fly but when it comes to playing as tifa I sometimes go a bit too crazy ham as her haha
@@BltzZ Woohoo! glad to have another person loving Tifa too XD
Of course! She's my definite main. I just finished the Barret Advanced guide and it's uploading tomorrow around 11am omg you have to see this melee build I came up with! It's absolutely crazy and makes melee Barret so much fun to just go ham with!
@@BltzZ Sure Mate, will give it a go
Tifa with transference module. Along with ATB assist and ATB stagger, made my hard mode become easy
After like 10 focused strike weaves with deadly dodge were already more than halfway to a full limit break bar
@@BltzZ not to mention since she use unbridled strengh so many times too... Cloud with gotterdammerung and tifa with transference module, it's wrecking crew 💪
Nonstop limit break parties! Refocus is the goat I wonder if I can put out 3 chi traps with that hmmmmm
@@BltzZ now we're talking😂
Refocus on tifa means you're only using abilities
@@verislie non stop damage and chi traps hahaha
Honestly it’s a joy watching this guys guides...he explains it so well I must sub now lol 😂 I’m left with no choice lol
Hahaha we got you locked in now friend :) welcome to the channel! I can't wait to bring you guys more guides and video breakdown's!
Reading that made me chuckle honestly
I really appreciate how each character have their individual perks. And whichever one you like to main, micro managing your teammates is easy as well. I'm soooooo excited for more characters going forward.
I knoww right! It feels so fun I just keep imagining what part 2 is going to be like. And it's making me even more anxious lol
Dude Finally! Worth the wait! Hope you hit the 10k subs! Congrats in advance man...
Man thank you so much I really appreciate that you have no idea!!!
Thank!
I love her and her combat design so much everything about her is perfect. after finish the game i still feel like I can’t play her the way i should. this could help a lot great work!
Enjoy! If you are playing on Intergrade ps5 or PC. I highly recommend checking out the new tifa parry cancels video I made!
@@BltzZ cool! i playing it in PS4. gonna get PS5 soon. but already subscribe for more content gonna check out more of your video anyway
watching your guides does not spoil the fun in playing FF7R rather enhances it. Your guides are truly stimulus for me to explore and create my own combat setup. For example, sonic striker is actually my favourite Tifa's weapon coz it's fast and enables me to use many more abilities during the game (still in my 1st playthrough).
Well my friend you are in for a treat on my next tifa video which involves the Sonic strikers :) my personal favorite is the feathered gloves
@@BltzZ Looking forward for that guide !!
The last time I was this early, I thought Zack was dead.
Great job, been waiting for this one big time. Didn't realize the True Strike combo or know about dodging to get out of stunlock. Truly flawless combat design, massive props to the devs. Like you, I've found Barret extremely satisfying to play too, despite his simple playstyle. Boys will be boys I guess...big badass with a gunarm blowing shit up, what's not to like!?
Beefy strong gun arm man with amazing healing capability and magical eyes lol. Yooo Barret is my shit man great minds think alike lol. True strike combo is a God send! Constantly up their damage for the rest of the party
@@BltzZ For Sephy on Normal I had Barret as the Shield and Aerith as the heal I just counterstanced Sephy the whole time wasn't that tough
Always counter stance I say! That move is so good and the after hit is so anime it's beautiful
Man, watching this just WEEKS before Rebirth and seeing your comment about Cait Sith and the others
WE’RE ALMOST THERE
Goddamn I’m so pumped
Thanks for bringing up those tips, those are REALLY helpful.
happy to hear you enjoyed! be sure to check out the many others on the channel as we have much more coming soon
For Tifa: I also use feathered Gloves but I also forgo the ATB Assist and Steadfast Block instead opting for a full Warding Materia + Time. This enables Tifa to never be slowed or Stopped as this usually breaks my momentum in battle as well as usually cast haste on herself pretty much when every battle starts.
I love hearing everyones build because I am constantly hearing new strategies, gameplans and builds and i love it!
I am a new player to final fantasy 7 remake and I am also really enjoying Tifa. But I usually like balanced builds for all characters. My damage maybe not be super high but everyone has something for the right situation. So essentially all my characters are Jack of all trades. So I enjoy purple pain on Tifa just to get a little healing some casting and my absolute combo of chi trap and star shower.
I learned so many cool things with tifa that I didn't notice on my own. Thanks big time
That's awesome to hear man I'm so glad I was able to help you out so much! Stay tuned for more!
Just want to say that this is such a very well done and well explained video and on Tifa combat system and advance play. While many people can make these video's there is always a lot in the details left unexplained or not properly explained. But many the details are so well explained here that it makes the video that much more awesome, relevant and important in playing the game and for maximum enjoyment of character. I just want to highlight the part where you explained the Materia and how Parry works on Tifa. I had no damn idea that it was different on each character and the details of how Tifa executes and slides. You gave these details time to explain and well importantly demonstrate for us to see and importantly visually understand. These kind of things elevate a video and understanding to make it more awesome a video. Thus you do pay attention to the details and in explaining things and just awesome. Thus i decided to Sub as well. Excellent job man, well done and continue to pay attention to explaining the details or demonstrating it.
Awe man that means a lot to hear! Plenty of hard work goes into making these and to hear you acknowledge all of that makes it all worth it. This video could have only 5 views but your one comment absolutely made my day and is worth much more! Thanks again man. I'm uploading the Barret Advanced guide tomorrow morning I cannot wait for you guys to see it! Focusing on bringing the same quality and improving with each video release!
@@BltzZ Was still watching the video as i kept rewinding and watching many sequences to visually see and understand some things you explained. That's all because its so well done a video. I understand it takes hard work and that's like anything good. The quality of your work will always pay off in the end. It may take a lot of time, but the quality of your work is always noticed by the people that care. And people care a lot about the details as well visually understanding things. You doing great!!!!
Wow only 10k subs when this was uploaded, you have done well over the last 3 years! Glad to see that your still around, these guides really helped me in FF7 remake. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with in Rebirth!
OMG ! I had no idea True Strike raises the staggered meter! My gosh, unreal. thanks again B.just got my 300% staggered trophy .... it was all Tifa, didn’t even use Barret or cloud ... THATS MY GIRL ❤️❤️❤️😍
Awesome to hear! True strike is such a cool ability I love using it as tifa. Dude if you get a chance be sure to check out the barret advanced guide. I have some sick melee build setup that's insanely fun.
And here I am as promised. I was waiting for this, I can't use Tifa very well.
Yoo your comment on the cloud video got crazy likes! I hope you enjoy this man I put everything I could think of into it!
I really did enjoy it. I'll be sure to try the built you show in the video.
Dude, I feel ya when it comes to the Purple Pain. The same thing happened to me on my first playthrough. I knew a cool weapon for Tifa was coming, and it had the True Strike ability. Was very much looking forward to it. Unfortunately, I past right by it. By the time I realized, it was long behind me and I couldn't go back to get it. Guess that's what chapter select is for. At least it's early on in that chapter.
A materia combo I love using for Tifa is a linked pair of Deadly Dodge & HP Absorb. You get a special set of 3 (I think it was three) whirling kicks with about 5 to 7 hits. With the HP Absorb materia paired, all of those hits restore a small amount of HP. With your technique of canceling out of Focused Strike with a dodge, you could potentially restore a fair amount of health.
Just throwing this in here: One of my favorite combos is: Overpower > Focuesed Strike> Attack once for the diving split kick > Hold the attack button for the Rising Uppercut > Finish with Divekick. Looks cool AF.
GRATZ on 10K!!!!
Thank you so much! I'm absolutely happy right now and cannot wait for the future. Till then we are enjoying the moment but going to keep the grind going! That's a great combination I was trying to level it up so i could include it in a build, But i decided to leave it out and talk about it in another build! Thanks for sharing tho i really appreciate that. Haha we both did the same exact thing man I was so disappointed during my lets play when I upload it you guys will see lmao. I walked all the way back but could not climb back onto the car haha.
I just started using Tifa and holy smokes her play makes this game next level haha thank you for the guide
You're welcome! Happy to hear this is still helping out many others too! We are still making guides for bosses on hard mode and cool character builds as well. Feel free to checkout our instant limit break build and infinite health build when you get a chance! Enjoy and stay tuned for more :)
I could NOT beat chapter 18 on hard mode until I saw this video and the materia set up on Tifa. Once I changed things up a bit, was Tifa damn near unstoppable. Thanks for the help
Yo that is awesome to hear man wow! I'm working on others for Barret and Aerith right now! Who is your favorite character to use?
Your videos are phenomenal. Only place I’ve found to help understand best time and purpose for each ability. Like I had no clue what chi trap was good for. Great work! Looking forward to more.
Yo I'm super happy to hear this! I promise all future guides will be of the same quality and always improve you guys gameplay!
your videos helped me beat top secrets the fight was super easier with your video on that. thank you!
I absolutely LOVE that you went over every single tree for every single weapon, I dig the hell out of that! I do have one quick correction tho. Her Elemental Materia 10% buff does not increase the damage of her spells. It simply increases the damage that her physical attacks will do when equipping her weapon with the Elemental Materia and a Magic based Materia that adds that element to her attacks. So if you have the Elemental Materia maxed out it will increase the Elemental damage from 23% to 33%. Just thought I'd point that out. It's still a great ability as she is the best character to have that Elemental Materia on when you know what elemental weakness your upcoming foes will have.
Oh damn I wasn't sure if it came off that way sorry about that if it did. But I meant elemental damage in regards to the materia 23 going to 33 like you said haha. All good tho I appreciate you bringing it to my attention! Future guides will follow this exact format so no worries!
@@BltzZ Ah, maybe I misunderstood then. It sounded to me like you were saying that elemental spells damage was increased. Might be my badd, I dunno lol.
So glad I found this tutorial. Up until watching your video I had no idea how valuable Chi Trap could be. I thought I was using Tifa well but you’ve given me so much valuable information! Thanks. Subbed!
That's so awesome to hear man! You're absolutely welcome. Clouds advanced guide is out now too but I'm working on Barret and aerith as we speak. Going to keep the same quality and consistency with the others as I did the tifa guide :) he sure to check out the stagger pressure video for amazing techs the game doesn't explain. It will change everything for you
BltzZ thanks man. Am I right in saying that to up Tifa’s chi level I just press Unbridled Strength multiple times? This isn’t explained well in the game!
So by default tifa is in chi level 1, you unbridled strength 1 time to go to chi level 2 so you have access to more combos and omnistrike. Then you chi level again and get to chi level 3 with rise and fall and max combos.
You should only activate unbridled strength a max of 2 times. Anything more doesn't do anything but refresh the timer of how long it lasts. Hope this helps!
BltzZ Thank you again. It’s a shame there isn’t a mode where you can pick your own battles!
Def my fav ff7r content creator I’ve found.
Dude that means alot. Really and truly from the bottom of my heart thank you!
@@BltzZ No prob dude! I know how much effort so many of y'all put into making good stuff so the least we can do is share our appreciation.
Incredible video, super thorough video for Tifa. Thank you so much for the hard work and dedication.
I Never was good with materia setups, but feel pretty happy we playing Tifa pretty similar, especially Feathered Gloves wise (honestly, best glove style, to me). Honestly gonna be helpful when getting around to finishing hard while waiting for rebirth.
She's my favorite character in general in the game, and sooo looking foward to playing her in Rebirth too. Was super satisfying practicing and then getting 300% stagger with her for the first time XD
Starshower best skill ever.. its just so cool seeing her used it...
She basically gets hyped before she uses it and then goes all DBZ on the enemy I love it!
Yay, ATB Stagger and ATB Assist! :D
I do map Unbridled Strength unto Triangle because that's the same button for spending Chi on Rise and Fall and Omnistrike; L1 + Triangle to build Chi, Triangle to spend Chi. Pretty intuitive, at least for me.
I also put the Time Materia on Tifa because not only does it let her Haste herself, it also synergizes with her great Staggering ability by letting her pull off the Stagger-Stop combo. Not sure if you've covered this in your previous videos, but casting Stop on a Staggered enemy freezes the Stagger bar, giving you more time to build the damage bonus percentage.
Another thing I like to do with Tifa is to give her the Refocus Materia, and pair it with the Clarity Pendant accessory. When she uses the Refocus LB, she gets a full bar of 3 ATB charges immediately as well; that can really turn the tide of a battle. And together with Haste and Tifa's natural ability to build ATB fast, it's crazy how she can bust out her abilities near-constantly.
Actually yes I have covered that amazing combo of stagger and time in my stagger pressure video :). I like your setup! Tifa is a monster in this game and it's amazing to see how many different combinations you guys come up with I enjoy reading about them while also improving my builds with it as well. Super thankful that you enjoy the content! I can't wait to bring you Barret and aerith!
Awesome job, man! I'm finding she's usually my go to controlled character. Took your advice w Cloud and went mythril Saber black mage build. That way his ATB block with steadfast chains into HUGGGE nukes while Tifa builds the stagger and Barret tanks like a boss
You're playing the game exactly as they intended! That's a straight up MMO composition right there man haha. I can't wait I hope they add co-op VR id love to tackle some crazy hard bosses with you all. Tifa is definitely my go to too!
@@BltzZ right!! Easy to switch to a fire all nuke and back to her. Who do you do duo arena w? Whats your team ?
If it's ranged I duo with Barret and Tifa because tifas air combos are OMG. But regular enemies I choose tifa and cloud because clouds AOE and triple slash destroys mobs while tifa locks people down with her pressure and chi traps!!
Hard to justify Cloud being a black mage build on Hard mode though
@@christaggart5687 I switched it up, depending on the chapter. Usually my Cloud is melee heavy on hard mode due to his counter attack mechanics
Another great guide man! I really enjoy Tifa's combat disegn aswell, and she's absolutely my favourite when it comes to one on one fights.
Speaking about her weapons tho, I must say I really like the Feathered gloves too but I used them only in the Shinra Combat Simulator or in Chadley's battles, cause you have mp recovery. During hard mode ng+ I always used Sonic strikers cause casting curaga for 9mp is a great help.
About her build instead, I always make sure she carries a Time materia: Haste is incredible for her combos and you can also use Stop on staggered enemies to freeze the stagger bar aswell!
Can't wait for your next videos, keep up the good work!
Ayyye I see you man! I love that more people are using the stop materia! Yeah definitely need that MP in hard mode it's crazy valuable. On hard mode you definitely wanna have a magic friendly and MP build. The reduced costs to healing really are a game changer
Pro tip: Starshower's damage buff only applies to the next Ability/Triangle Attacks/Limit Break if it's cast IMMEDIATELY right after Starshower. To be safe cast the next Ability or Limit Break using shortcuts or slowmo/tactical mode while Starshower's animation is still playing so the buff is guaranteed to apply to the next attack
I love all the characters in this game and how they play. That's not something I say for every RPG out there. I have more fun playing with Tifa and Barret as well.
Barret on paper sounds like he wouldn't be fun when compared to the others but God damn they did a good job with the combat for everyone. I love every chance I'm forced to switch
Tifa is my MVP throughout the battles. Her mixups w/ added materia buffs are insane.
Ive always loved how materia changes up and adds variety to gameplay with tifa there are many combinations for sure but the must have ones are just soooo good
I really think you should look into twitch streaming. You would be a good person to watch live. And the viewers can give you ideas for videos
Second this. Boss guides or something as well!
I appreciate that suggestion and I'd make a video letting you guys know I'm going live to visit me there like Max does
@@BltzZ You should post the date(s) non intrusively at the end of your normal content so there is larger awareness of when to watch you. That's the easiest way to get followers and subs, make access to the information obvious. I think you'd do great on twitch too.
Thanks man that's a really good tip! I'm still setting up the overlays and the notifications etc so I'll definitely add that to the list
Nice video, I used the exact same stagger combo with Tifa. I love the focused strike + deadly dodge combo.
A few things I'd like to mention though.
1. Parry is great for juggling, once you knock an enemy into the air you can attack them until they are about to land and cancel your attack by sliding into them to pop them back up, keeping them air-borne indefinitely.
2. I think first strike is a really bad choice for Tifa's speed build. With that set-up one ATB per fight is incredibly meaningless to her, you are using a materia slot to save a second of attacking. Why give Tifa such a small bonus when you could be allowing Cloud to open with a triple slash and have Barret/Aerith buff up? I'd recommend HP absorb linked to deadly dodge for a survivability buff instead, especially considering the combo with focused strike.
I appreciate the build advice I started using HP absorb today to level it up to use with deadly dodge it's almost at max now!
I have first strike on tifa and cloud, I like it on tifa because incase she doesn't start off in chi level 2 I can throw it on really quick. But if she does then I get to go chi level 3 from the beginning. I prefer to use Barret over aerith and with Barret not having first strike I'm ok with because he starts off every fight with overcharge which gives him 1 full ATB when you use it on an enemy.
So in a way he can start off with atb from using overcharge. Not to mention if tifa has no chi and she starts off with 2 atb I can unbridled twice and give atb to cloud and Barret both thanks to her having atb assist. Sorry for the long explanation I just wanted to explain what I was going for
Love these videos going back to finish all the trophy’s before starting rebirth
Wow !! Truly remarkable BltzZ. I was hoping for something like this to be shared by you and you didn't disappoint at all. Thanks to you I just got the 300% staggered trophy right now where Tifa did that insane damage on Fat Chocobo. That fight is a breeze thanks to you. Cheers and much love from India.
Wow that's amazing to see these videos have such a far reach! I'm Guyanese, West Indian haha. I'm happy to hear you got that trophy done easy! Tifa is such a beast for those stagger damaging combos and increasing the teams overall damage! Always spend that ATB
@@BltzZ You, Shirrako and Xuses are my favourite RUclipsrs amongst the likes of Maximillian Dood who's just amazing to watch and follow. I just love how he doesn't shy away from keeping his emotions in check. I've followed him through his journey of FFVII remake and he's just a cut above the rest. As for your videos, keep up the great work. Also, I am having difficulties beating the last mission in Shinra Simulator (the one that has the secret Pride n Joy Prototype). Somehow can't get pass Bahamut and Ifrit combo. I've spent over the last 4 hours trying to beat them but to no avail. Guyanese huh? Lol!! You're my half brother then. Cheers and do your thing bud. Always there to help and support in any way I can.
Hahaha oh man maximillian dood is my favorite RUclipsr! I've been watching him since 2012 with his injustice videos on Batgirl and he sort of inspired me to make videos on fighting games. It only got enhanced more when I found out his favorite game of all time is my favorite game of all time haha. That's a solid list of RUclipsrs and I'm so happy to be amongst them in your top favorites!
@@tajikaragaming9613 as for the bahamut ifrit combo make sure you have elemental maxed and Fire magic combined so ifrit can full heal you!!!
@@BltzZ Give me a materia build for this mission. Xuses did a live stream yesterday and did it with such ease that my jaw dropped. Can you imagine he beat up Bahamut so bad that he remained pressured throughout the round and died without summoning Ifrit? It was a treat to watch. Also, I don't have the Champion Belt since I couldn't do the squat as well as pull up challenge. I couldn't beat Jules in that challenge.
Loved ur last video and have been waiting for this one! Amazing work, making me love this game more and more.
That makes me so happy to hear that you are loving these videos! I will keep pumping these out for you guys
YES! Another great informative video! I will definitely give these Tifa builds out for sure man. I've been using the metal knuckles on her for a while but now i'll give the feather gloves a go. Appreciate another in depth guide homie :) I can't wait for the Barret and Aerith advance guide videos. Hope all is well and take care man.
I love both metal knuckles and feathered gloves! Let me know what you think about he feathered gloves. Always appreciate seeing you comment here! I can't wait I wanna start working on them today but I need a 1 days break haha. Will be back in the lab tomorrow or even later tonight! Stay safe friend.
@@BltzZ No problem man, I know it will be worth the wait, appreciate it. Gonna give the feathered gloves a try today.
@@BltzZ Yo! those feathered gloves and materia combo you suggested in your video is life bro. I've been recking with it even in hard mode play through. Definitely a great brawler choice setup for her. Awesome build!
That's sick I'm glad you like it! My favorite weapons hands down for sure
Gratz on the 10k my man!!
Yoooo thank you so much! I appreciate each and every single one of you guys
love your guides man,, tnx for this, i really love to use every character in this game, some of the materia feels like its made for her
They just love tifa as much as we do and wanted to make sure she get that recognition she deserves haha
Best believe your guides enhance the gameplay experience. Definitely gonna incorporate these combos into my hard mode playthrough.
Enjoy dude! They are absolutely fun and we got some other crazy ones too. Checkout the infinite health build, instant limit break build and the unlimited ATB build to have insane fun. And borderline break the game haha
@@BltzZJust finished your advanced Barret guide, will check those out as well! Can't believe I was playing the game like such a basic bih before. Sure it got me pretty far, I just got that Ultimate Weapon trophy, but without these next level strats, I think it was harder (and less fun) than it needed to be. We gon bust out the crazy shit for the hard mode playthru for the plat tho, specially with Tifa. Thanks again, you're doing the playerbase good with these
Hey dude that means a lot man. I'm happy to enhance everyone experience with this wonderful game it means a lot to me!
It's all good, keep up the good work brotha
Awesome guide! Personally I wouldn't have steadfast block on Tifa as I think if you're staying still and blocking with her, you're not really playing to her strengths.
On hard mode I'd swap it out for revive vs. bosses unless you're supremely confident no-one is going to die!
Against normal mobs, I'd probably either link a HP absorption to deadly dodge to leech some HP while you're doing those combos, or just use chakra/prayer for some free healing that helps stretch out your precious MP on hard mode.
I have an even crazier use of HP absorb on a melee build for Barret that works with everyone in the cast! Be sure to check that advanced Barret guide out it'll blow your mind 😁! Yup I'd recommend switching to revive for hard mode. I have 3 steadfast blocks so I figure one on each character is enough to benefit on AI controls. With tifa I notice when you spam and move around with parry, any hits she takes counts as a block if you're holding R1. Need further testing but I've seen it occur haha
You're doing a great job! Well done. Great content. Tifa looks really fun.
I really do appreciate that! I'm pushing through for you guys! I can't wait to finish the barret one now =]
im an expert for the classical game from 97´ and now im sitting here like fricking noob, learning on how to be boss with my favourite character in the remake :3
Thank you, sir ^^
Ahaha no worries you are welcome! I hope you enjoyed this because this Barret Advanced guide is blowing even my mind with some of the builds I have. They're just too much fun
@@BltzZ Yeah barret is like a tank in the remake that can hit like a tank :D he slow but damn if setup right he gon kill stuff easily
@@BltzZ i cant wait to see what yuffie, vincent and red got for us :D Yuffie need to have so sick combos like in FFXV comrades and vincent need dem jumps and marksmen skills from the movie ^^
cid gonna be lit AF with his dragoonspear action! jumping right into the AoE to deal some heccing damage :D
boi part 2 gon be awesome! i hope they get it right ^^
Oh man I want them to go ham with those characters! Im a dragoon main in ff14 and I can't wait to see cid!
@@BltzZ I'm also dragoon main in FF14. Its like the best class in my opinion and i hope they make cid much more viable in the remake. Like sick jumping combos paired with strong single blows
fantastic, I can't wait to put these tips into practice and turn it into Wonder Tifa
Tifa is a God in this game especially when you utilize all her abilities and mobility together!
I made my Tifa build a Red Mage w/ Sonic Strikers; Magnify Heal with the 20% off heal spells (And Auto Cure if Aerith’s not around), offensive spells with MP and Magic Up, Deadly Dodge and her standard melee attacks. It’s not a be all end all OP build, but it’s one that worked very well when I played. Makes her a well rounded unit, like a true Red Mage.
Tbh that sounds like a lot of fun too! I love red mages and I cannot wait for more flexibility with part 2. Once we get way more materia options!
@@BltzZ I ran my Red Mage Tifa in my playthrough of FF7 Remake, she dies a lot because Red Mage + Monk means little defense. Maybe a Chain Bangle will help with that? And thanks, I hope you consider my LP set for Tifa. :P
Chain bangle very well could! But the aggro system in remake makes it difficult to control one character the whole time. You gotta swap every 5-7 seconds to keep enemies focused on the AI teammates essentially. And rack up serious damage. For fun, check out the instant limit break build we have and the infinite health build as well as the unlimited atb build! You are going to love it
@@BltzZ I’ve tried those on other files, and they’re p neat. Just wanted to share the build I had, lel
Congrats on 10k bro! Keep the videos coming👍
Thank you! Ain't no stopping now!
Great video! Hope this channel blows up
Thank you so much! With your support I have no doubt we definitely will one day! I'll be sure to keep pumping out these epic gudies for you all. Finishing up advanced Barret guide right now as we speak!
ultimate waifu deserved her spotlight in this game xD
I swear this game focused on best bae from beginning to end haha. Her combat absolutely shreds I can't wait for remake part 2 to see how yuffie and Vincent all play
Aren't you curious about Caith Sith?
Yup! I was saying in another comment that I never cared to use him as a kid and I most definitely would in remake because of how much effort they put into making characters so unique and fun! Like Barret is just a long range shooter nothing special when you describe it that way. But the actuality of how they designed his combat and the abilities mann are so different. I'm just excited I can't wait to play everyone haha
bestgirl; waifu; bestbea: all correct.
Honestly Tifa should be the next level to describe a character.
"Oh man, Yayoi is bestgirl"
"nah, dude. even more than that. She tifa level"
@@GuillermoSmyser the the fc is Yayoi
Bro you deserve way more subs. Keep up the great content 👍🏽
Much love always man thank you! June is going to be our month when Intergrade drops! I'm excited
These are so helpful! Thanks for all your hard work dude!
You guys deserve the best of the best! I'm more than happy to keep bringing the heat for you all with these videos!
I never played a game that makes every character super fun to play with until this beautiful game came out. And your guides are super helpful, I learned so many new things with them, so I really have to thank you for making them. Can't wait for your Aerith and Barret advanced combat guide.
Yo that's awesome to hear! I'm having too much fun making the Barret guide I'm going to have to drop that today! I have one more build to record
So one of my favorite materia combo for Tifa is HP absorption and deadly dodge. I basically do the first build you mentioned and just focus strike and deadly dodge to pressure them and keep my health healed. I’m not sure how practical it is but I use it all the time lol
It can be really good in regular enemy fights but for bosses I think the heals aren't enough most of the time
Excellent content, lots of details but not complicated to understand. I've been working on a crit hit build for Tifa, damage is pretty crazy.... Gave her the chocobo summon too for extra luck stats
Purple pain with 2 luck materias right? I feel like the possibilities are so endless I can make videos about individual weapons like that haha. Would you guys be interested in that?
Then it's settled!
@@BltzZ Sounds good, agree there are so many possibilities to builds. Would be great to see some team builds too, smashed the secret boss with a great team build focused with fifa generating atb for 2 other team members constantly. Felt amazing!
Nice did you use elemental for absorb on armor and fire materia? I heard that's an amazing combination and I was going to get it out today
I had it on her for when Ifrit got summoned, all other materia was either for her HP or ATB charge generating. Gotterdammerung with refocus, skill master and atb boost was the key I think.
HP Absorbtion linked with deadly dodge, and if you really wanna get buck wild with her combos replace first strike and steadfast block with skill master and refocus and make sure to have transference module equipped as her accessory.
Yup that's a great combination too!
Focused strike also builds 1 ATB bar upon landing the hit on an enemy, so the cost of it is actually pretty much free. If you put ATB Assist on Tifa, there's endless generation of ATB for your entire team
Yup that's our gameplan with that first build especially! Deadly dodge canceling the focused strikes look sooo beautiful with her animations and the particles emitted
Thank you very much for the guide! I love using focused strike then parry to cancel the delay and use focused strike again(I use this combo everytime enemy in pressure). Now I need to unlock true strike for increase stagger percent because im still in chapter 14
I love doing that as well! Add deadly dodge to the mix to increase her damage output if you have the space when you get more materia slots! It's really good on her as well. True strike is going to change the game just make sure you don't miss the weapon like I did! Had to beat the game then chapter select to get it haha
@@BltzZ already have deadly dodge slotted. Also what your thought on last of us 2 plot line?
@@BltzZ I almost unlock all weapon because I tend to watch weapon location guide while playing the game
Awesome! Yeah make sure you get that last one then! I did not look at any of the last of us spoilers or the plotline I'm trying to avoid it like covid 19 so I can have a genuine reaction for you guys when I stream it :)
Awesome guide! I never thought of using the parry materia on her.
It's a godsend on her because she can't counter or mitigate damage as easy as other party members. So with her she can be a crazy speed demon!
Amazing videos buddy loving them 👏 have another subscriber
Yoooo you were my 10K sub! I just got the mark wow thanks man welcome to the channel! We got plenty more where that came from
@@BltzZ np my man, thanks again for the builds n tips 👍
I'm sure tons of people have mentioned it but HP absorb+deadly dodge is super good in hardmode. Also ATB Stagger and Skill Master materia are both busted.
Oh, one more thing. Steadfast Block reduces the damage taken while parry sliding around, so just another reason to use it lol.
Yup steadfast and parry are just made for tifa I swear haha. Be sure to check out my Barret guide for the enemy skill and HP absorb combo that's legit my absolute favorite in the game!
This reminds me of the old days when I played Tempest and Windwalker in Dragon Nest... nice!
Well done bro! Great vid Can’t wait to play and put this to the test.
You're going to enjoy it!
I love this battle system and this is coming from someone grew up playing the og ff7 as a kid. She's almost like Chun li mixed with ryu and that slide dodge like sub zero lol she's amazing though
Absolutely I agree 100% playing tifa is sooo much fun she absolutely is my favorite character since OG and made her combat phenomenal
@@BltzZ I've been keeping up with your videos so far with ff7 remake the only content creator I can watch fully keep it up bro 👍 makes me want to get back to twitch and stream again lol
Haha dude I'm happy to hear that! More FF7 videos coming this week just taking the day off for father's day with my dad and girls dad
@@BltzZ nice enjoy the day the family ! I'm with my son doing the same
I have tried that deadly dodge + focused strike combination and damn Tifa became even more of a beast. I love it. Then when the enemy is staggered I use Starshower. I use parry when I want to have more fun during the battle. Damn.
The options are all here for us! I love it man keep killing it! This Barret guide is in its final stages :)
@@BltzZ awesome! will wait for that
*after finishing the game hard mode
Me: heh, im awesome
*watches this vid
Me: heh, i suck
Thanks for the awesome video man!!
Hahaha na man you don't suck! Hopefully these help you out for a 100% run!
To further add to the devastation:
If you know an enemy isn't immune to Stop, cast it on them while they're Staggered to prevent the stagger bar from depleting. This combined with Aerith's Ray of Judgment and Tifa's natural stagger bonus buildup, you can really bring down the pain. Also, don't knock Parry on Barret. Barret has the longest Parry animation, but because of how Parry works, he remains in a blocking state a lot longer, so you can basically shoulder-tackle through enemy attacks that would otherwise knock you down/away or interrupt you, with a large margin of error to boot. It's EXTREMELY useful especially for those moves that do multiple hits.
Yup and crash the game in the process with all that damage ticking! Lol I'm going to probably do Aeriths advanced guide before Barrets but I'm unsure atm
I implore you to include melee Barret. He’s so fun.
Barret is a special case where im going to have to do 3 builds =]
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSSSSSS
Yoooo I got you covered man! :D
I didn't come up with this combo myself, but for whoever is on hard mode mage duty pair:
Local Elemental Weakness + Magnify
Local Elemental Weakness + MP Absorp
This effectively causes a three way link and you regain MP for EVERY enemy hit by the spell. Combine this with Aerith's stupid high mag attack and she can cast offensive spells FOR FREE.
EDIT: Not even mentioning crap like Mythril Staff's offensive discount, full MP 20% mag attack boost, and Arcane Ward. So, so dirty...
Damn thats really good! Aerith sounds like the hard mode Go to! MP is so valuable you got to reserve as much as possible I appreciate you sharing that man thank you!
@@BltzZ Yeah some dude on a forum told me that when I complained about not being able to use offensive magic except on bosses in hard mode and he dropped that on me. I was like "there's no way," tested it, and my jaw dropped.
EDIT: Still can't go nuts with the -aga tier spells, but then you never really can.
Yeah haha they really enforce the aga spells draining so much mp lol but the ara and normal once are just fine for regular in between attacks
Oh. You can also throw in HP absorb on the same element AGAIN for a four-way link and have her self-heal constantly. It's friggin absurd. It really comes down to how many slots you're willing to trade.
@@BltzZ Sure you figured this out already but Silver Staff is actually the weapon I was thinking of. Reprieve, both versions of MP Saver, MP regen + 50%, elemental damage boosts, and Mag attack + 20% at full MP.
Mythril has mag attack + 20% but lacks MP saver and MP regen up. It can totally work though if you push the numbers high enough with Mag Up materia and accessories. Just that Silver has a lot of other nice-to-haves that Mythril doesn't.
EDIT: Get to save slots on MP Up though, since once the loop is established she's good to go pretty much forever.
Able to beat Weiss by using the ultimate stagger combo. Thanks alot. Looking forward to your Yuffie combat guide.
Man... In hard mode I really could not utilize her as well. Makes me feel like such a chump. Wish I found you sooner! Thanks for the great info!
Hey man that's all good! Maybe you can replay once you see that crazy enemy skill combo I made a video for today! :) Best for melee characters and right up Tifa's Alley!
@@BltzZ Ohh! I'll check it out! Yeah in the video I just posted I made a point to talk about how I just couldn't utilize her properly when I really needed her. And I'm a guy that has over 90 hours on the game. Yet I'm still learning stuff LOL Lovin these guides!
Great content! I did not realize chi trap was magic damage. Will definitely try that out.
Yup! If you have magic ups more leveled up unlike me you can put crazy tick damage with this build. It's a really fun ability that I wouldve never expected to be in her kit haha
*ALWAYS* use Starshower before using Tifa's limit break.
Big boi damage!
@@BltzZ Boosting crit chance and getting her into Berserk combined with Sharshower and her limit break makes her nasty. Throw the Götterdämmerung on her, ATB Boost, Skill Master, ATB Stagger and Elemental Materia and she is a monster. I think that takes advantage of all the damage and speed boosts in the game. That plus Haste.
Basically how to make a murderer? Lol tifa is soooo crazy fun to experiement with builds. Hell all of them are. But I just love how she plays
I would personally add Enemy Skill at her disposal, the aura provided by Siphon or Algid Aura is pretty good considering she's always up in their faces.
That extra DPS is really good on tifa and cloud! I saw an interesting comment I've yet to try out. I need to max out warding but apparently with max warding you can use self destruct and survive haha
SO from what I gather, Tifa is the spirit gauge of the *Longsword* mixed with demon mode combos of *Dual blades*
I guess sooo? I'm not sure I get the reference sorry lol
Awesome vids man!!!.. I'm guessing "team build" is next?.. hehe.. btw, Tifa is nearly everybody's main! Team Tifa! 😁
Tifa is killing the popularity right now! This video shows it too most definitely. Up next will be some materia videos maybe another tip video then I'll hop back onto with Barret and aerith asap them team fighting! I wanna cover all party members before talking about team fighting build. But I can't wait to do so!
@@BltzZ awesome man!!! Thanks for great vids!!! 😁
You're very welcome! I love bringing the heat for you guys
i have both elemental meteria maxed and i gave one exclusively to tifa she's a pure martial arts badassery😍🔥🔥
