BEST SEPHIROTH WEAPONS - Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis

[@FateTestarossa]

Pretty good tier list not much to say only 2 little Things. 1. Maby think about weapons as Sub weapons for other charachter, Like Thunder Potency for Musamasa is pretty good. If the weapon Spooks you its a good support 2. Maby think about 1* red because it can be hard getting 2x times a Weapon BUT some time you only get 1 stemp and the way to costume take more pull. Or dont Forget we are have Charakter Specific Tickets for every Weapon waht can be handy. Be side that great Video, like to see more and maby see WHY Summons are so strong.

[@LongTimeYT]

I'll try and mention more specific examples of if something would be a good sub for each weapon sure. For sure gonna do a LB & summon video soon 👍🏻

[@KenshiSakura]

My man is fast on the uploads! Thanks for this tier list wanted to have a look at all the new weapons.

[@LongTimeYT]

Ka-chow! ⚡

[@DaedalusGage]

Not that I necessarily think you should move it's rank, but, a utility that you didn't mention for the Nameless is breaking a Boss's streaming mode a bit faster (because the main ability hits on two ATB). Great video!

[@LongTimeYT]

Did I not mention that? Oops cause I totally do think that. It's the best thing to break Diamond sigils (beside the 3 weapons that can do it right now on Barret Lucia and Glenn). 2 ATB is so much fun to use, I love the weapon completely. I just still think it's not quite in the same tier as Edged Wings and Aonibi.

[@ivancouto1028]

@@LongTimeYT Agree, especially aonibi, no weapon in the game is touching it, literally perfect stats.

[@mariobalaguer3328]

LongTime!! So I need to catch up on a couple of your older videos but I had to jump on this one since Seph is the new hotness... Now, I'm still behind on 3 of your videos (First soldier characters) but so far this might be the list that I have the most disagreement with. Not that there is a ton I disagree with but with the ones I do it's pretty big (imo) Also if someone had already said this in the comments I apologize repeating anything! I'll cut to the chase: My biggest disagreement with a weapon placement is the "Nameless"... And that's ONLY because we're using *your* guideline as barometer of how strong a weapon is for a Main/Secondary weapon. Yes, the Nameless costs only 2 ATB but it comes at a great cost unboosted... It's a physical attack (lowest in the game at that) that debuffs 1 pip for a max of 2 pips of MDEF, that only lasts 11 seconds... Although technically it averages to 12 seconds if you max the MDEF down, since you get a +3 duration on reapplication... Regardless, that is awful uptime. Even worse if you're playing on auto as the AI spends like half the time reapplying MDEF down when Sephiroth should just focus on damage. Couple this with the fact that Seph's best (current) DPS weapon has WILD ANIMATION FRAMES and takes *forever* to come out (if this was a fighting game, this move would be unusable lmao) you'll probably only get 1 use of the MDEF down before reapplying..! I've legitimately had slower clear times wielding the nameless as my secondary than equipping just about anything else, I swear! Again, this is based on *your* barometer and rating it unboosted- otherwise if we're talking OB6 or higher I think "A" rank is fair- the maxed MDEF (Mid) and increased duration is a serious game changer for 2 ATB. But unboosted, no I'd have to hard disagree on "A" placement and say I'd give it a "B" and bottom of "B" at that, maybe top of "C" (again, unboosted) That said, I will say the biggest selling point of it at any rank is that since it's only 2 ATB it can clear that one diamond node faster when the boss is charging their attack and you're trying to break them but even then I wouldn't put it that high. Which leads me to my next point: I think Northern Lights was rated too high as well. I don't think it's a hot take but I think it might *arguably* be Seph's worst weapon, I unno man... Like I know using your barometer (as mentioned previously) we're not trying to get team comps involved but it's so hard not to take a little consideration of it... But even ignoring that, this weapon pretty much regulates your Sephiroth in a support role than a damaging one, which you (and I agree with) have mentioned being his best role, throughout the video. It would be one thing if it did magic damage while also MDEF shredding to help his damage but I consider anything that doesn't buff team damage (like DEF/MDEF shred) to be a preventative support skill, like barrier. Reducing attack just helps you not take loads of damage- which is all good but shouldn't be a top pick on Sephiroth. I mean if you absolutely need it (like against Giant Knight for example) then sure, since you can't do damage if your dead, lol. Besides all that, a lot of bosses are immune to it as well so I I can't see it being higher than "C" like it's suuuper situational for him imo. A-tier for esthetics though, haha! Lastly, and this is the smallest thing: While I think the placement of Shinra Blade Model 1 (my personal favorite looking blade!) is fine, I'd argue it's R.Abilities was placed far too low for my taste. Yes, it's a general ATK% increase than a MATK% increase (which is higher) it's still a solid stat at 24 points with the Ability Boost which is it's own separate multiplier for your damage. Now I sorta am coupling it with Sephiroth's (arguably) best secondary weapon Aonibi which will give you lvl 2 ability boost when equipped. Regardless, I still think any extra damage is always a "good" thing so I would personally have rated it in "good" or at the very least "situational" mentioning other potential "Boost" sub weapons. Also while this is more of a thing when you start Overboosting more of your weapons, keep in mind that once you've maxed MATK/PATK (lvl 7 cap at 55 points) raising general ATK% is the only other way to increase your stats more- so we shouldn't undervalue it, imo. If you read this, thanks for reading my thoughts! It means a lot and if you disagree or have a counter to what I said, wouldn't mind hearing it! I appreciate the videos and your insight regardless and glad we're able to have this discussion! Cheers!

[@gavin8216]

Think Type O should be great especially if you pair it as a sub with tifas powersoul, lots of damage and survivability off 2 subs. Edged wing main, aoinibi offhand and absolute royal, powersoul, type 0 are all so synergistic.

[@Gamerdude9317]

I did the first 12 stamps, got seph sword edged wings and gear and i was done lol. Gonna save up for next. Had 33k crystals, went down to like 18k.

[@LongTimeYT]

As soon as you get the costumes you want, ALWAYS stop unless you're prepared to whale. Costumes atm are the only limited thing we've experienced, all weapons have been rerun (so far, we'll see with Halloween)

[@KillNamniaR]

F2P and spent 33K crystals I’ve been saving got 3 Aonibi which at first thought it was mid but my god.. and 2 plus the price 3 edged wings. I guess this was a good start for young femboi sephi

[@LongTimeYT]

That seems like a great start for your boy!

[@Zetsumei88]

Thank you! Good to see more people agree about his animation for Edged Wings dragging ass like a 90 year old grandma trying to get out of bed.

[@LongTimeYT]

*insert "It's been 84 years" Titanic meme*

[@krisgehring8465]

I got the shinra blade to Red Stars 5 and Aonibi at 1 Star Red - should I still use the Aonibi over the shinra? As the Stats for the Shinra blade are way higher. Nice Tier List!

[@LongTimeYT]

Are you still using the Edged Wings as your main hand?

[@ausira_]

Pulled Edged Wings in only 10 rolls, just using Edged Wings and Nameless for now, been working out. Aonibi looks strong, guess I misread it the first time.

[@LongTimeYT]

Honestly I still love how Nameless ones plays out. Aonibi is better yes, but who doesn't love 2ATB quick firing ability. It'll hold ya just fine til Aonibi shows up.

[@ausira_]

Nameless is super fun, honestly because of its feel due to 2ATB it'll be Sephi's off hand for quite some time for me! @@LongTimeYT

[@LongTimeYT]

Game feel is super important. Really don't have to min/max too much atm, so if you're having fun keep rocking it for sure

[@marxistharpy]

Young Sephiroth is so cool, I wish I wasnt fanboying him so hard so I could save up some crystals! I’m curious to see if any sort of point multipliers are used for Sephiroth and/or his weapons in the ranking event. Would have been an even higher incentive to pull day one!

[@LongTimeYT]

Multipliers as in pull rates? Or ability dmg?

[@marxistharpy]

@@LongTimeYT multipliers to your score in the ranking event for using Sephiroth or a specific weapon on him. Like the rate up weapon on the banner gives a 1.25x multiplier to whatever score you get, if you complete the event with Sephiroth and that weapon equipped. I’ve seen other gatcha games use a system like that to encourage player to pull on the new banner. I’m not a big fan of that system, but it makes sense from a developer perspective.

[@LongTimeYT]

They do have some rate ups for the feature items for this banner. But there's no quest right now that directly interacts with the items. For this game as it stands now, if you're not going for costumes, you should save your crystals for when you see a costume you want since all weapons have been reprinted for now.

[@atikurrahman9304]

started with 55k crystal and got 12 stamp with around 35k left... Time to save for next banner. Season pass but did buy a couple memory packs.

[@LongTimeYT]

Save save save for those new costumes!

[@E.S.A.Gaming]

Maybe we need an update after the half anniversary weapon?

[@kennykurniawan]

mann Aonibi has been dodging my pulls lol, really love that skill

[@LongTimeYT]

I hope you get it! But don't chase it too hard once you've already gotten the costume, it'll be around on the next banner. Just make sure to keep it in your wish list. Don't let SQEX gobble up your crystals.

[@DaveJ188]

Yeah, I put it in my wishlist and got 3 on my way to 12 stamps

[@BlueBirdE22]

Great analysis! Curious where you would rank lucias new weapon. Looks like its made to pair her with sephiroth, but the r abilities look very good as well

[@LongTimeYT]

For Lucia's Bald Eagle as a weapon it would be similar to Red13s Seaside Collar. Imperil (elemental resistance down) effects can only be used against enemies already weak to that element ex. Ifrit in this case. For it to be a main hand for Lucia it's super situational I think. It as a sub weapon, it's the best ice physical sub in the game atm but a landslide, but we really don't have one of those yet. When we do though you'll be glad you have it!

[@warmybear1009]

Sephi has some cool weapons ^_^ But now I just need Stamina Pots ??? and Red Crystals to magically appear in my acc so I can pull some 5* :P

[@Baye1980]

Not much to disagree with here except for the Shinra Blade. I would definitely rank that one higher

[@LongTimeYT]

The Shinra Blade could easily be A tier ya. It'll be nice when you can't hit those elemental weaknesses, so I probably didn't low ball it a little. It was mainly the R. Abilities that dropped it outta A for me.

[@izzyram4814]

Would be real nice if you could add another column. (Rating the weapon as a "sub" weapon)

[@LongTimeYT]

Thats what the bottom section is for!

[@nekotorin]

My pulls were bad. Got Glenn weps and none in my wishlists. Got good stamps though. All my other Sephy weps came from the free tickets lol xD

[@LongTimeYT]

Sorry Neko! Least tickets were kind

[@samuelleie]

Hey, I thing you are being a little unfair with the Boost ATK related R. Abilities. Because if you go only for the PATK or MATK R. Abilities your going to overfeed the points cap. In most of the cases if you have your main weapon with 40 PATK points you will only need one sub weapon to get it to 55 points, after this the Boost ATK is the only way you have to get even more damage. My builds for the subweapons generally are 1 PATK/MATK, 1 Boost ATK and 1 HP. In the early game this will be weaker but in the late game is another history.

[@LongTimeYT]

For the late game the main focuses will be PATK/MATK, Elemental potency, boost phys/mag ability potency and HP most likely for DPS. ATK is nice, but it's definitely jack of all, master of none to me. Maybe when we get a significant number of overboosts, but I still think we're going to have a hard time focusing on more than 4 R. Abilities at a time.

[@samuelleie]

​@@LongTimeYT Yeah, elemental potency, boost phys/mag ability are great, but we need to remember the kinds of r.ability that come together in a single weapon. For example we do have some elemental potency together with boost atk, but we don't have weapons with elemental potency and boost phys/mag ability together yet. (Just remembering that I am talking about really end game, like you having all your weapons 5 white stars) So a nice combination for subweapon would be something like: 1° weapon PATK/MATK + Elemental or PATK/MATK + phys/mag ability 2° weapon Boost ATK + Elemental or Boost ATK + phys/mag ability 3° weapon HP + Elemental or HP + phys/mag ability I'm pretty sure this will do more damage than something like (remember if you have a PATK/MATK as your main weapon you will only need one more weapon to max out): 1° weapon PATK/MATK + Elemental or PATK/MATK + phys/mag ability 2° weapon HP + Elemental or HP + phys/mag ability 3° weapon HP + Elemental or HP + phys/mag ability So since we don't have a combination of phys/mag ability + Elemental, ATK boost is more effective.

[@magnum862000]

it is very frustrating to have these really long animations that just nerf the weapon so much, and you don't really know until you use it >.< speed them up Square Enix or at least let us know the speed!

[@LongTimeYT]

That's literally THE ONLY THING I can't tell of a weapon just from looking at its stats. I never thought though TBH I'd be looking at startup values, what is this Smash Bros?!

[@magnum862000]

another thing I wish they'd give us QoL wise would be to disable dynamic camera movement during C Ability animations. I'm trying to time stance changes right then the camera moves when I'm looking at the time remaining before an enemy attack!@@LongTimeYT

[@LongTimeYT]

That and speed up for coop. Is it too much to ask for?

[@furizu5342]

How is northernlights in Meh and not situational? xD

[@LongTimeYT]

I'd say it gets a Meh because it just doesn't do enough for a specific thing. Where as the summon weapons where they give a LOT of elemental resist, I'd put those as situational since they'll be able to kick in harder. Northern Lights just gets replaced too easily imo

[@linerth9957]

Wasted all my 18k crystals but got 3 anoibi, 2 nameless, 1 murasama,1 fairy tale and 2 o 3 useless weapons and costume for Sephi. Have no crystals but worth 18k xD

[@LongTimeYT]

That's a very good haul for 18k, gratz!

[@Dragonisable]

making a tierlist before even played... what a troll

[@MrBFoRally]

He is correct 90% tho

[@LongTimeYT]

I had already used him for 5 hours though...

[@karboundish]

I got shafted by the rates today, 180 pulls with only 4 gold (including the guaranteed gold with the 6 stamps). Well then, I guess My Sephiroth won't have any decent gears for a long time...

[@LongTimeYT]

I'm so sorry the games rates didn't want to play nice tonight for ya 😭

[@karboundish]

@@LongTimeYT At least I have the Aonibi and the Ice Katana, it'll be good enough for the time being. Nice video as usual.

[@LongTimeYT]

Thank you! At least with the wish list system and things not being limited, you'll always have a chance to build them up more as the game goes on.
