EASY How to Win Sphere Break [Cheat FFX-2 Strategy]

So I was playing Sphere Break in FFX-2. I was doing all of these crazy moves, getting a bunch of edge coins, but then something happened - I ran out of edge coins, I got too risky with my moves, and I lost - over and over - to Shinra.
But when I played my winning game, it was using an easy strategy that I have used over and over to both win the tournament and get the 10 victories that unlock an achievement.

Thank you! I was having a hard time understanding this game but you’re explanation made it make so much sense! ❤❤

[@lpmoora]

I’m so glad I ran into your upload! Big thanks Miranda! I won on the 14th turn with your strategy against that pesky Shinra ;)

[@MirandaLemons]

Glad to hear! 🥰

[@sofies392]

Thank you Miranda!! I beat Shinra first try thanks to this !!

[@kenshin304]

This was so challenging, thank for playing what to me is a classic of the turn based Jrpg system. Oh the deep Nostalgia 😭🖤😭😭

[@MirandaLemons]

Thank you! ☺️

[@Modest_Memory_SYM]

Great strategy and informative 👍 What I used was three coin echo break per turn, my main issue with this tournament was the two GG's, you have to get as items beating both npc women with the dog, and shinra back to back and hope rng gives the item and win omg 😤. Straight luck 🍀 I swear especially when it rolls out then 1 cores back to back 😅

[@Blaquebarbgamer]

I totally owe you. Your strategy for twos worked like a charm. I haven’t played sphere break in years and forgot how to do it. The echo for two’s really works yall, I’m so flabbergasted thank you so much, you saved my holiday ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉!!!!

[@MirandaLemons]

♥️♥️♥️ Congratulations on beating the Sphere Break tournament!

[@danbuckig4564]

Just want to add, if you use the 6 to start you'll get an echo bonus which will add even more to your echo count.

[@MirandaLemons]

Amazing!

[@DaviAugustoCeS]

I Just beat Shinra because of this video! Thank you so much 😍

[@MirandaLemons]

So glad!

[@Ariancia.Thystarian]

The two echo and 10-friends was exactly what I landed on too when played the game over and over as a teen. Also the other coins goes up by 1 for every round they not used 1->2...->9 and then empty space until it comes back as 1.

[@MirandaLemons]

THANK YOU for explaining the coin number logic. This reveals a strategy for what coins to save.

[@crapstirrer]

I usually aim for two outers each turn (and two inners as first and last picks of the turn). The streak does break when the target number is ever 1 though.

[@MirandaLemons]

This works too and in some ways probably makes it easier. I imagine it is surprising that just two coins do work even for Shinra.

[@emonsalt]

I think i spent 1/3 of my game time here. I dunno why I was so addicted with sphere break I feel like I'm expert in math as I play. Also, most of my gil I used for bribing came from here. Especially bribing paragon for dark matter

[@alexlugo7479]

Yeah I definitely finish this game I never play it again cause of this

[@jonatascristian4391]

This mini game is so hard for me 😂😂

[@MTTT19]

There's only one way to win at Spherebreak. You have to use the one thing you never thought you would have to use in a Video Game. MATH!

[@MirandaLemons]

Thankfully it's only basic addition and multiplication!

[@joshuahaberstroh8610]

Dis shit wuz hard buh now i get it fo sho

[@MirandaLemons]

Did you succeed?

[@xanScorp]

Here's my question....why at times I will use the exact same number of coins as well as one core coin, does it not give me the Echo Bonus. Like it just randomly decides "No...**** you. because it's funny."

[@MirandaLemons]

The core coin counts as a coin. That would have been three coins. But! It's great, because if you can't find any edge coins, you can still keep your streak with two cores.

[@xanScorp]

@@MirandaLemons read it again. I said the number of coins are the exact same. The "plus the core coin" meaning the core coin used is also the exact same, but... No echo bonus.

[@xanScorp]

@@MirandaLemons basically I use a core coin (for example a 6) and two other coins. The next turn I use that same 6 core and two coins, but... Nothing.

[@MirandaLemons]

@@xanScorp That's strange! I'd have to see it myself.

[@ashleyyoung796]

No, the third one isn't Shinra. You'd only have to get three wins from three players before getting to Shinra who's the final and fourth player in Sphere Break.🤔

[@jonatascristian4391]

I will try win this way .lose many times for shinra 🤦🏻.is possible win this way?

[@MirandaLemons]

Yes. It absolutely is. I've won this way.

[@jonatascristian4391]

[@jonatascristian4391]

Yesss i win shinra with this method

[@MirandaLemons]

@@jonatascristian4391 Glad to hear it. Thank you and I will. 😊 Open to suggestions.

[@jonatascristian4391]

Im trying yet 😂

[@danielmayhew4510]

Lol whatch this rben won agaist shira😊😊😊😊

[@johnhumphrey7534]

This game make zero sense i did what you did and never get any bonus coins i only get what i use

[@MirandaLemons]

Is it during the tournament? You need a coin with an ability for a coin echo bonus. During the tournament, you have that coin by default.

[@johnhumphrey7534]

@@MirandaLemons ya it's the tournament I can beat all the others but not shinra best I can do is 25 bc he keeps forcing the single gold coins I average 5 ish times everytime
