Guild Battle 1 Tips & Strategies (No Earth Vincent) - FF7 Ever Crisis

In this video I run through a couple mock battles for the Guild battle 1 in Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis and give some tips of how to maximize score based on a setup that lacks Vincent and MATK All Allies weapons. Really thinking outside the box here lol.
I run through a mock of stage 1 and stage 5 and show my setups for each and how I DPS without having any specific quake arcanum setups. Just working with what I have for this guide.
Main Strat, don't equip ruinras!! Stay in sigil phase and DPS in that phase as long as you can.
Stage 1 & 2 Setup
Triple DPS - Aerith, Lucia, Yuffie
Stage 3 & 4
Aerith, Lucia and Barret for MATK Up and Defense up plus AOE Heals
Stage 5
Aerith, Lucia, and Matt. Centipede is needed to survive the whole sigil phase

[@CaponeToneTony]

UPDATE: In the REAL attempts the timer runs during boss, summon and limit break animations. So a true mock is the battle ending probably a few seconds after the graviga attack if you stay in sigil phase the whole time.

This is probably the best video i've seen to date with just being open about what appears to be the best strategy but I wish I had more uploads to compare it to. 14:11 We are in day 4 of official battles and I think this is more obvious than ever that people who would normally upload their official battles are withholding the info.

[@CaponeToneTony]

Day 4 into the event I feel like there's nothing to hide now haha I feel like we're all kind of locked into our positions as long as everyone does their attempts

@@CaponeToneTony Multiple guilds calling themselves Free to Play are in the top 5, that's pretty sus too.

[@CaponeToneTony]

Good luck on the guild battles guys! Just FYI, I use the same team for Battles 1 and 2. For 3 and 4 I use Barret instead of Yuffie to buff MATK to Aerith and Lucia while buffing PDEF and healing to survive the whole fight Thanks for stopping by!

[@davidalfaro9697]

thank for the tips! goodluck guys.

[@CaponeToneTony]

No problem, good luck! Another small tip, save summons/limit breaks until the very last second. Since the real battles are way different when it comes to the timer you want to reduce those animations as much as possible.

Looking for a real, competitive guild to join. 580k+ power lvl 120. Agreed, this had to make me dive deep with everything going on to come up with something to work

[@SKATEandRUNESCAPE]

I pulled, ob6. My Vince is hitting 1m+ ea hit with the banner wep. Pulling 85% damage on stage 1, 45% stage 2, 13% stage 3, 8% stage 4 and 3% stage 5. The guild system for materia is a MUST for all players trying to get high tier materia %. Forreal tho i'm looking for a GOOD guild pls

[@CaponeToneTony]

I'm not a guildmaster so I really can't help out with that, check the unofficial ever crisis discord, I think you can apply for guilds there.

@@SKATEandRUNESCAPE I feel like materia bonus isn't working at all... even got more blueberries now and I wasted mats for like 80 materias that could have been purple..

[@SKATEandRUNESCAPE]

@@nukaquantum7 it's doing pretty good for me, like 5 star magic earth first try with the bonuses good lol. Not much since that though. We need another solid source of those damn purple mats i swear. I know the new co-op additions have them but only like a few at a time even with x9 multiplier

Time doesn’t stop during the animation in the real battle unlike coop

[@CaponeToneTony]

yeah just learned this, kinda ridiculous lol definitely at a disadvantage if you use a quick charging limit break multiple times

[@paklaselt2198]

Why not use Matt for stage 3 and 4 too?

[@CaponeToneTony]

Matt would be the safer choice but if you use microlaser Barret you boost MATK for the 2 DPS characters, while also still having AOE heals. Mix in agitation to counter the stomps and you should survive the sigil phases in 3 and 4 while getting the extra benefit of microlaser matk buff

[@paklaselt2198]

@@CaponeToneTony thanks

[@paklaselt2198]

@@CaponeToneTony Unfortunately my gun for agitation isn't ob6 so it can't buff enough in mock battles to keep everyone alive but I could see how it would work otherwise. maybe if i had more HP too but none of my subweapons are ob6

[@taupexfushia]

Applibot really said "pull on Vincent or you're gonna suck"

[@CaponeToneTony]

Pull on Vincent and you get a banger of a setup for this event 🔥 While we're over here stuck rubbing two sticks together to get decent scores 😂

[@taupexfushia]

@@CaponeToneTony I hope not all Guild battles are like that lol but they will be haha

As a free to play Player these Events just Show me how difficult it is for us to get good Setups...I barely deal any damage at all. The good weapons are all locked behind investing lots of money to get them to pink Stars..

[@CaponeToneTony]

And almost every event recently has been tied to the most recent banner so obviously if you pulled on Vincent you're gonna be doing way better than everyone else. F2P and light spenders definitely have to pick their spots because we obviously can't pull on everything

[@nukaquantum7]

@@CaponeToneTony did the Vincent Banner and luckily gotna few rounds of +4 so I got outfit and gun but gun is still yellow stars..not a single duplicate..yet i proves majorly useless against guild battles right now cuz the damage doesn't come in... maybe I just need to get Vincent shards over time and upgrade with those... i refuse to invest money :)
