Yoo, thanks! I seen an empty market and decided to hit it!! It's still a little long for a TL:DR but there's so damn much to go over lol. I also love that you already recognize me haha, that's amazing!

[@jtnelson1803]

My new fav KZbinr. Straight to the point. No fluff. No BS. 👍👍👍

[@ZhierOrreih]

Damn, your Aerith's PATK is even higher than my Cloud haha also the wepon is 5 star red.

Thank you for this video. This was quite helpful and shared a lot of information that I hadn't previously known. This makes so, so much more sense now on how to optimize the materia as here I was thinking that it was optimal to get the % stats unlocked as you're leveling. Never did I realize you were wasting potential upgrades of your stats when you were unlocking the sub stats.

[@Tsuna_II]

Glad to hear it helped! I had a feeling there was a lot of people who maybe didn't know about some of these things and I don't wanna see people wasting weeks of materials. Lemme know if you ever craft a 5* lol

[@thedamnshinn]

lol this TLDR was perfect, much appreciated.

[@Tsuna_II]

Glad it helped!

[@xDrezdin]

I didn't realize you couldn't get the % stat and the flat stat on the same materia! I can toss out so many I was saving to level up later now! You're a hero, haha.

[@Tsuna_II]

I can't absolutely promise it, but I've crafted probably close to 700 Materia and it's never happened to me so it's a very safe bet

[@edwardsgamingcorner3880]

For synthesis: 2 blue materials give lv2, but if you add just 1 purple material, it bumps it up to lv3. So, ideally, you either don't use materials at all, or you go for 2+1 as it is the optimal in terms of resource management.

[@Tsuna_II]

I didn't consider this. Shame you can't edit videos after they're posted. Thanks for the tip!

[@evilgeek87]

It depends on the materia, ruin only takes a few materials, but the __blow take 10 slivers and 3 pieces for 3 substats and 2 stars as well as the elemental spells

W comment. Thanks!

[@xel_0073]

Yo keep up the great content bro. Thank bro breaking this down.

[@Tsuna_II]

Anytime! Glad it helped

[@bdzmru8489]

I find your video style extremely helpful keep up the good work! Do you also have a guide as to the most efficient way to level up materia? I hope it also includes which fodder materia we use for leveling

[@Tsuna_II]

I can do that if you'd like? Wouldn't take me long to do

[@bdzmru8489]

@@Tsuna_II I think it would be helpful yes! The beauty of ever crisis would be how there is a lot of room to play optimally and I think you understand the game well so I’m sure your content will be a great way to explain that

[@Tsuna_II]

@@bdzmru8489 Sounds good, I'll try get one out after I finish streaming tonight then!

[@anceledusstorm7534]

How do you synthesize thundaga, blizzaga, firaga etc.

[@Tsuna_II]

You don't sadly. They seem to be a future thing. If you've seen them in game it will be moves attached to weapons

[@DuckFace.]

I would like to know how to upgrade the gear points.

[@Tsuna_II]

What do you mean exactly? Which points are these?

[@vincentcloud]

The whole system in RNG period. I was synthesizing materia to feed other ones. Using no little shards(whatever they are called) I Crafted a 5☆ fire materia with 3 substats main one being magical damage. Most RNG ever.

[@Tsuna_II]

Sounds like a banger of a Materia. I'm yet to get a 5* one

[@davidgelabert9360]

It means should I throw away all 2 stars materia?

[@Tsuna_II]

Only if you get a 3* or higher that is better, or close to being. The damage and stat difference adds up being a lot. Just make sure the stats are worth swapping for. Don't be throwing away a Materia with three % stats for one with none

[@RtheGr9]

Possible to share how you have so many 4 stars? Ive been synthesizing + upgrading materias non-stop since the game started and only have 2 x 4*s. 1) Are you favouring materias with shorter synth timings or am I missing something? 2) Do you always add catalyst materials to every synth, or do you just leave rarity to chance?

[@Tsuna_II]

Mostly it's pure luck. I typically guarantee a 2* and leave it at that. From what I can tell, the longer the time, the better the Materia. I've only had maybe 2 or 3 upgrade rarity during the level up process. But I have them crafting all day every day. I've also got a LOT of bookmarks from Chocobo farming to help speed it up

[@robertmorris2452]

Sub Stat unlock/upgrade is every even number (lv2, lv4, lv6, lv8 and finally lv10). And the ideal stats aren't always those 4 mentioned; Magic-based damage Materia doesn't need PATK %, as only your Magic DPS characters will be wearing it, and likewise Physical-based (Blow-styled) Materia doesn't need MATK % because only a Physical DPS characters will be wearing it. Also only your party's healer needs to worry about Heal %. As long as your Magic Materia rolls MATK % and HP %, and your Physical Materia rolls PATK% and HP%, those are still very viable Materia even if the other two subs roll flat. PDEF and MDEF can only roll flat anyway, and believe it or not it's not bad to roll them. There's only two avenues in the game to acquire Defense stats: R.Abilites on Gear, and from your Materia, and you don't really want your R.Abilities from Gear being PDEF/MDEF (usually), you're going to want instead the ATK damage type of the character and maybe one good HP one. Exception being your healer as they're going to be better off stacking as much HP and DEF and Heal as possible rather than DPS stuff. I'd even argue that the best Materia sub stats for the healer role in the party are HP %, Heal %, and both flat DEF types...

[@Tsuna_II]

That's fair, I guess I was thinking more of generic Materia that would fit anyone when I recorded this but you're right, Use case Materia will end up superior down the line
