[FF7: Ever Crisis] - What to LOOK at when equipping PROPERLY! Why HIGHER CP doesn't = BIS. SEE Desc!

[@PayneBlade]

C. Abilities like Braver do in fact raise CP vs non damaging Abilities (I didn't edit that part out). I added this to description as well. Pls keep that in mind.

[@edwardsgamingcorner3880]

An important addendum: because potency applies as the last part of the calculation, sometimes having less patk/matk but more potency that puts you at the next tier, will actually result in more damage/heal. For instance: 2000 patk, 0 potency, 500% ability = 10000 damage. Now 1800 patk, 25% potency, 500% ability = 11250, because, while it would be 9000 instead of 10000, the potency multiplier applies after so it is 9000x1.25 =11250. In the second build, you have 200 less patk, but because you invested in the elemental potency of the ability you want to use, you deal more damage in the end. As such don't be afraid to lower your stat if you gain potency proportionately. This is only a problem if an enemy resist an element. But in all other cases, stacking potency in a particular element is the best way for high damage output. This is why you see builds with less power overall, of lightning Cloud or ice Seph that deal crazy amount of damage (and why gear with "Arcanum" boost is the best).

[@PayneBlade]

yes great input here. Potency make a big difference here. all are calculated a bit differently based on the potency increase (crit, elemental, special etc) and all can make a small or significant impact in dmg.

[@iBIackieChan]

Man is singlehandedly educating the community! Thanks for the great info!

[@Odius85]

Now just tell all the dips who hightail it from a co-op just bc your CP isn’t high enough in their eyes when, in fact, you’re actually out damaging/healing bc your build is more focused.

[@PayneBlade]

Lol coop is a damn mess man. That's why I usually just run it in my discord with all the community.

[@PayneBlade]

Haha ya see description. I was supposed to edit something out. Didn't realize I didn't actually do the edit lol. It's actually cause of braver.

[@quicksilver-vv768]

Excellent info

[@kkrakataka]

Wow nice video, I'm just starting the game and this is really useful. I've got a question, what do I prioritize when equipping a materia, a flat number or a %??? I.e. let's say I have 2 Fire Blows, one with +4 HP and One with +1.0% HP, which would be better???

[@PayneBlade]

% is always better but you can only get % on patk, matk, heal and hp (should prioritize % for those stats). Pdef and mdef can ONLY be flat stats.

[@kkrakataka]

@@PayneBlade Oh good to know, thanks for the info!!!

[@kkrakataka]

Now my only wish is to be able to choose what substats I want a materia to have when synthesizing, but I guess that's asking too much 🥲

[@emersonmonteiro4513]

Hi! What team are you using to farm Shiva hard mode to get S or A score? Ifrit is very easy to farm cause of Seph and Lucia. Do u think they will bring a fire type char and a Shiva event soo?

[@r4z0r84]

I'm working on Lucia and Barret as they both have magic attack down high pot weapons and already have Tifas one, but mostly Lucia for her limit break as an oh shit button when I have no atb and need to nuke Shiva's mAtt up

[@ForgottenShinobi11]

Hi awsome video i was wandering where can we get more Mythril ore? i got the 30 in the dungeon shop and also got S+ in all the normal and hard crisis dungeon and also got s in the very hard that went away yesterday and i was hoping that dungeon shop would reset but that didnt happen am im starting to worry cuz i used all the mythril ore the game ofered to this point.

[@PayneBlade]

Atm outside of purchasing that's it!

[@___Zack___]

Seconded ^^, you already know where all the ore is. Sadly, that's it. You'll get more from upcoming events and temporary rotational super-hard dungeons etc though so no stress in the long run but it's best to be frugal with it

[@Pyp0]

Are you sure that the 3 "bonuses per slot" applies only to the materia attached on that slot?

[@PayneBlade]

Yep it will say in the information. So for any materia that is shining, that materia gets the advantage. For example, Tifa leather gloves last slot says +30% fire dmg so if you put an ice materia there it's not active BUT if you put a fire or fira there it shines up and that 30% is applied to that materia in that slot

[@akinamori1615]

Yes. It increase the damage of the materia or add special bonus like Sigil breaks +1. Example: If you dont have a Element Weapon, you can go for ! materia like Thunder Blow then get R ability of thunder element potency up making it damage more. And since it increases its potency, your power will actually go up more. That's why you want to build that 4 star / 5 star materia if you can, coz those will have after boost, equivalent to 80-90% damage of a 5 star weapon.

[@PayneBlade]

This 💯

[@thelastchoi6217]

Man i will say for min/maxxing.... menuing is quite a chore. Esp for materia on mobile. If u dont like it u will straight hate it lol

[@PayneBlade]

It's a crazy chore. They could have done a better job optimizing this menu system

[@jarc8185]

Is level 70 enough for the free maxed weapons sub equip?

[@PayneBlade]

Ya some of mine are at 70 for maxed free sub weapons for now until I know I can't get anything better.

[@AJML343]

Thanks for this Q I also had the same doubt. In my case I’m pushing to 80 only Zack’ s and Sephi

[@titi3736]

Could the power level be lower with however better stats be linked to the materia you have equipped ? For example with the buster and shiva sword maybe the 3 slots were linked with th buster sword but not with the shiva one if they had different perks.

[@PayneBlade]

Nah if u see the pin or description it seems that game gives more cp with some moves over others (ie braver in this case)

[@titi3736]

@@PayneBlade Okay good to know cause sometimes I was very confused as to why certtain weapons with wayyy better statsd lower your cp. Thanks

[@PayneBlade]

@@titi3736 np!

[@reydez84]

yeah man, my sephi is the best equipped character i have, there is no R. ability thats wasted, mag atk is lvl 7, and have frost pot, ability pot, and mag pot and hp% up and thats it and hes garb also

[@PayneBlade]

All you need for efficiency on the bad boy

[@ThatBeingCed]

I feel like they made the UI too unfriendly. It takes waaaay too long to do what I want so I now always default to auto equip. Yeah it's not the best thing but... The menuing is terrible

[@PayneBlade]

I totally agree. And their optimizing button for best equip and recommended party is SO BAD

[@Tuan-FistofFury]

I need this video. Just can't optimise my weapons

[@Bluelabel1010]

There has been a lot of content that I’ve only beaten by stacking hp. It’s a little disappointing and cheesy but it is wgat it is

[@thelastchoi6217]

I make dem look at deez...🥜
