How to Beat Ifrit: WHALE ON BANNERS

[@naruto00nix]

@@Kise1652 there are f2p players who are at 120k right now. i doubt it takes months to reach 150k. either way he obviously gets carried by his OB weapons and didnt really play too well, nor showed a lot of knowledge.

[@PayneBlade]

Lol it isn't my fault I got 7 murasames in 8k crystals. I got lucky on 1 summon giving 4 in a row in one pull. And then 3 more. Shrug, am I not supposed to use it just cause I got lucky?

[@Kashidori-Grafix]

He post's f2p content as well 😊

[@PayneBlade]

I mean I am a dolphin max. If u haven't seen my summon video I posted with getting 7 murasame in like 8k crystals. Again, because I got super lucky I'm not going to NOT use what I got from the game lol. It's not whaling. I'm at 144k which many f2p are at as well. I'm running f2p and a dolphin account to make content. Funny how it's a discredit to make content as anything but f2p lol

[@PayneBlade]

@Kashidori-Gaming that I do! Ty for understanding how I run things haha

[@stephencarroll8258]

Just did this at 108k with some minor spending. Cloud/Barret/Aerith giving Barret Mindblow(Lvl 4), Cloud has Shiva (Lvl 2 Whiteout) and Aerith healing wind. Barret had solid bazooka at 5 star base, w-machine gun (main hand for stat boost)at 1 red star and debrave. Aerith had ice breach , powersoul at 5 yellow star and fairy tale at 1 red star. Cloud was rocking 5 red star murasame and 5 yellow star apocalypse. Every one is lvl 50 and only cloud had a lvl 90 weapon the other two had lvl 80 main hand weapons . Also raised the weapons dropped from shiva to lvl 30 and both are at purple quality still

[@XMS1212X]

This was better than the video thanks bro

[@ji94games]

I tried your combo cloud/13/aerith. That debuff is really op! Thx for opening my eyes on importance of mag debuff

[@PayneBlade]

my pleasure! glad it helped!

[@forumz3588]

I see you noticed Red is amazing 😊

[@PayneBlade]

@forumz3588 I like using him for his debuffs. I switched it up cause my f2p had Tifa so wanted to do it different lol. I still think his weapons need a lot of work tbh

[@ji94games]

@@PayneBlade i started farming weapon matt with red/zack/cloud with each having heals, dps is just insane and i beat 96k robot boss in less than 3 min

[@PayneBlade]

@ji94games like a boss! Well done

[@RandemNJ]

Can barret be an alternative for Red XIII ? I think he has both PDEF and MDEF down on 1 or 2 of his weapons....he's the one i have built

[@PayneBlade]

absolutely

[@Kashidori-Grafix]

I won't lie I'm jealous of your account, i definitely like watching the video's regardless 😅 total beast mode🎉

[@PayneBlade]

Haha thanks broski

[@farego2355]

beginner's question: Do we benefit from Sub Equip.'s "R. abilities" and "Spt. materia"? or just "R. abilities"?

[@PayneBlade]

50% ish (like 53%) Stats and r abilities

[@farego2355]

@@PayneBlade so it must be worth leveling Sub Equip. up to level 70 to gain the 3 "Spt. materia" buffs. worth for a f2p?

[@PayneBlade]

@farego2355 you won't get access to the spt materia as sub weapons but you get the stats. So yes sub weapons Play a huge role

[@changzhekim7713]

Hello. I Wana ask something about the battle report. Today I fight the cloud head 3time. The 1st time I fight rank B. It give me 6head. But second and third time I fight rank S. It give me 4head -3 head. So I Wana ask is the report won't change the rewards ? the rewards is giving by random ?

[@PayneBlade]

yea it's random, completely RNG.

[@ZorinNephalemz]

It looks like Hellfire is a physical attack because when he did it, there is a sword icon next to its name.

[@PayneBlade]

It says physical/magic on description so it either takes the top stat or combination of the 2. Haven't had a chance to test on magic vs phy yet

[@akinamori1615]

It's Magical and Physical. You see physical only coz he brought down the crisis level of it. If its 3 or higher it'll cast with both stats.

[@wiseguise5960]

Its a combination of attack and magic attack. I've tried using it with my cloud who has about 1500 att and about 1000 magic attack, compared to my barret who has about 1450 att and about 1300 magic and Barret was doing alot more damage. Any limit break/summon works this way.

[@jeremyjoyner9796]

It’s both phys and mag. Just read the tooltip.

[@infamouselement8711]

I saw you asking why Aerith wasn't healing and after some testing, she won't cast it unless you're in defense stance and even if she has exactly the atb to cast it, she takes half a second afterwards in defense stance. Great video as always. Keep up the great work bro!

[@PayneBlade]

yes sir. learned that the hard way haha. Had to test around and in any stance, going to defense will have support cast a heal :)

[@pliyo]

Loved this video. I'm surprised you didn't use shiva as Cloud's limit? Do you think that would have made things easier? Another top content, sir!

[@PayneBlade]

Unfortunately she isn't ready yet but she is gonna be farmed next!

[@foxfalcowolf1989]

Ive been going strong as a Tifa main. Loving the entire lifeguard set as well. Gives me flexibility to do good team heals and damage overall, but i dont even scrape close to your power level. Im stuck at the 32k mark

[@DaHellSilver]

you are not stuck... just by increasing levels of your characters you can get so much power its insane, which is why the cactuar and the xp event going on rn. is perfect to use the cactuar farm method and get to 50 very quickly

[@DamonCarter-i5p]

Getting your weapons to lvl 50/60, growth tree, and leveling the right materia help a lot. But he has a lot of purple equipment to level 90 and once weapons get to level 70 grinding for upgrades becomes annoying. Plus, not all of us have his luck with summons. I think I can get past the level 70 wall I’m at once I get the right materia. The grind for materia is harder than gear.

[@foxfalcowolf1989]

So I've maxed out Tifa's growth tree for as far as I can take it right now (level 41) and I've tried to equip her with the best weapons I can obtain, but it feels like it barely does anything

[@WishYouLuck1991]

​@@DaHellSilvermy team lvl 50 maxed growth tree, and as for cloud he's with lvl 90 murasame( 0overboost) and lvl 90 seasplitter+3 and I'm also stuck at 35k lol

[@DaHellSilver]

@@WishYouLuck1991 and my level 40 cloud with level 70 weapon is at 40k, just need to understand how the other weapon slots affect stuff, and usually just try to get the following on your characters: hp 4, atk 4 (can be lower), and patk/matk 4, and whatever other potency you can get, and you can easily get very high power numbers, no point in going past level 4 for most r.abilities really. And upgrade the event weapons, and farm summons (for ifrit for example im at 11stars/6 overboosts)

[@oitsadam3311]

Is it better to do Ifrit on hard difficulty if you always getting S on it compared to getting C/D on very hard?

[@PayneBlade]

Tbh the score doesn't make a drop difference. It's mostly rng. You have a better chance at the 5* weapons and more frags with very hard BUT it takes longer

[@oitsadam3311]

Oh awesome its nice to know that thank you very much for replying and the content your releasing :) @@PayneBlade

[@PayneBlade]

@oitsadam3311 my pleasure!

[@Solonos21]

Glenn has the diamond sigil on one of his weapons. So does one of the other characters, maybe red? I'm not sure. It makes breaking that hellfire no problem

[@PayneBlade]

Ya there are 2 weapons. This is an older video. I did a similar one beating it on my f2p account using 98k power team with ease

[@jaybayblay]

can you please showcase shiva very hard.. i've been having trouble with it the past 2 days. the HP needed is pretty demanding to survive diamond dust from her :|

[@PayneBlade]

will try to get that out tomorrow!

[@wiseguise5960]

Well no shot I'm getting to clear this anytime soon. I'm sure it helps a lot having maxed white weapons, but all my main weapons and first sub weapons are either gold or 1/2 red starred.

[@PayneBlade]

hey bro, i did a video clearing it on my 98k F2P account so it's definitely doable. Here you go. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqO7qmyiiNCVgck this original video was helping whales. 0 money spent on this. I always do content for both sides of the fence

[@kzxjone]

Whaling to beat some pve content is crazy to me

[@breakthecode4634]

Sledfang doesnt work on ifrit if you didnt notice. He is immune. Just trying to be helpful.

[@PayneBlade]

Ya u are right. Nightbloom from sun umbrella does but not sled fang. Better off using lunar high instead

[@breakthecode4634]

@@PayneBlade if you look at boss in menu it tells you what immunities they have and by doing that, (what they are weak to) so its been pretty easy to see what we need for battles so far.

[@PayneBlade]

@breakthecode4634 ya I usually do, I just messed that one up haha. Thanks for pointing it out!

[@XMS1212X]

He’s right , Payne you should do edits or comments when you make these videos so people don’t go crazy why your strategy doesn’t work not also reading descriptions

[@PayneBlade]

Ya I added it to description for this go. I actually did shiva with a bit more care this go around

[@DamonCarter-i5p]

Haven’t had much luck on good percentages for Ptak on ruin blow material yet. I get some that start out one percent, but than the other stats get better when fully leveled. But at least synthesis doesn’t require stamina. I’m still working on materia grinding to beat weapon enhancements easier until I level summons though.

[@PayneBlade]

Ya it's the hardest part for gacha. I've yet to get a 5* and I've seen people in my discord get it with their first synthesis and getting the proper %and substats lol

Most content in this game if u can survive u can clear. I suggest stacking hp r ability and just auto spam heals. U got 15th a to kill it.

[@PayneBlade]

Yep hp is the most important stat in this game and why it gives the highest cp. Because there are no TRUE dps checks (for the most part) or enrage timers u can take your time

Dude the weapon drop rate is crazy 😂

[@DielanWet]

You dont need to whale to beat these. I beat Ramuh Very Hard with Barret, Cloud and Matt. Just debuff primary attack and buff. Played auto until interupt phase. Just use proper elements and have good stats like hp primary defense against boss.

[@PayneBlade]

Yep it's just survival and elemental control on all these. There is no enrage timer

[@shirleyrpg3564]

Looks like in game most heroes are useless. They has same equip, skills and etc. Only Red, Tifa, Aerith hase something special. Attack of clones. I wish they will change it

[@PayneBlade]

Matt is an excellent support healer and magic dmg dealer. Glenn is a good physical dps, as well as Zack. Barrett has great support skills as well with mindblow and his weapons. There are a lot of good units that are unique imo

[@THExJMC]

So basically you won because you whaled and have high power, specifically on Cloud. You made mistakes against pretty much all mechanics... Not a great guide video that helps people clear this at all.

[@fatmasterblaster]

I wait till you do it on your f2p account
