What are some of the most crazy and deadly materia combinations?

Added Effect + Contain is always fun.

Mime=Counter, invoked after using a limit break. Stackable.

Added Effect + Hades is pretty fun too
( this also works on your armor as a pretty good Ribbon substitute )

When you master a materia, it makes a zero AP copy. Do it twice for 3 mimes.

>> No.3216852

Mp absorb == KOTR

doesnt that give back 1% damage as mp?

So if each hit does 9999 that gives you 99 mp per hit

99×13 = more then enough to max out your MP

The only downside is that KOTR summon cutscene is so long

I did this the last time played through FF7. Took some time to get all the mimes, but it was glorious.

Same with Yuffie, her Lv4 is total garbage, and Doom of the Living beats it cold.

Easiest way to beat Ruby WEAPON.

>Knights of the Round + HP Absorb
>Mime + Mastered Counter
>W-Summon is optional, but helps finish the fight faster
>Enough HP Boost to reach max HP
>Cast KOTR on Ruby WEAPON
>Get some coffee
>Come back in 10-15 minutes
>Ruby WEAPON is dead

>people actually use summons

Why? Aside from KOTR they're worse than useless even for casual players, and almost always end up dealing less damage than your regular attacks or magic. Hell you could beat the whole game without equipping a single one. I know because I've done it.

I got away from using KotR just because of that. Used it one game to kill Emerald and Ruby and never casted it again.

>> No.3217974

There's a lot of broken shit, but one of the ones I'd put outside of the gamebreaking realm and into the just "useful" realm is Cover + Counter. Pop a tranquilizer on Barret, equip him with cover and counter. Every physical hit against your party will be funneled to him, he'll take half damage on top of his already high defense, and he'll counter attack with whatever he's got equipped. I think you can get an added effect materia just after Kalm town, so you can pair it up with status effects like Death or whatever else you want too.

Speaking of summons, I wonder how they made it for so long in their crappy mechanical function. They're pretty much all normal spells with longer animations in most FFs.

The only time they're really all that much different is FF3, where a few summons have unique effects and you're limited to one summon per character per battle, in FF8 where using a summon gives you an HP shield (Though summon speed times are actually at odds with this effect since a short cast time means you don't really absorb any damage with a GF), and finally in FFX where summons actually became a unique mechanic unto themselves.

Summons really should've been like FFX throughout the series, or something similar to BoF1/3's dragon transformations. A way to get a powerhouse character in combat with some unique abilities that may not be better than a maxed out endgame party but can provide good effect early on.

What? Summons are just normal spells.

Summons should work as pets like in FFXI.
