One Year Weapon Review - YUFFIE - FF7 Ever Crisis

[@mariobalaguer3328]

Aw, thanks Nite, I appreciate the shout out! 😊 I do love Yuffie, she’s def one of my favorites/mains and I try and use her as much as possible! Even tho I haven’t gotten around to watching all vids in the series, I just have to say this was a great idea and a huge task to boot! Huge props to you brother! But yeah regarding this particular video I thought you did a great job! I would say a lot of the weapons you went over are def highlight worthy! There are very few choices you can “go wrong” with but as mentioned by Nite, your choice really depends if your maining her or using her weapons for sub weapons (which is valid) If you’re maining her, or thinking about picking up her Wind Arcanum with Anniversary Costume Voucher, you can’t go wrong with Diner Plate and Magic Shuriken. Magic Shuriken is the weapon Nite was referring to that does AoE phys Wind Damage. You’re mainly choosing that for its R.Abilites since it allows Yuffie to obtain 100% Wind damage increase if you run it alongside Diner Tray in the Main and Secondary slot for her! Otherwise Hawkeye and Moogle are solid picks as well given her role as a Main DPS or secondary DPS (like in a ranking event) Artic Star is still a very good weapon. But with Aerith getting a full party PATK buff to the whole team, it sorta made the weapon less useful. Still decent and has some fringe use cases as a sub weapon tho but I’d probably pick 4-point Shuriken, purely based on R.Abilites as it’s more generalist. And let me tell you as a F2P/Low spender building up your “general weapon” pool really is the right play to be prepared for just about all content! Loved reaction here (9:05) you are SO real for that 😂 They really did NOT give Yuffie any sigil breaks up until that point. It was a slap to the face not seeing it on Diner Tray (her first real DPS role) Also the blooper/glitch you left in was great 🤣

@@mariobalaguer3328 I knew you'd appreciate this vid. And I was having a pretty good time with these, so I left some of that in to lighten the mood for people who watch all the way ;)

I actually really like Yuffies kit, she's got lots of breaches (although I do prefer ones like Black Whiskers that do defense down and an element weaker as well), covers a lot of elements and generally good gear. With the buff extension that is rare on some others she is a little swiss army knife and I'm hoping her anniversary costume and weapon give her something new. The lack of sigils on some early weapons was her major downfall but recent ones include them, she has a strong wind arcanum which is currently the best wind option (not being limited or requiring multiple weapons to set up), she has that really strong earth weapon which will last a long time thanks to it being as strong as any normal elemental damage dealer weapon + the extra if on high hp, she has the AOE fire float that increases her damage so she gets single target damage on an AOE skill. Earth was the only one I felt a little let down on since they threw out such good earth weapons afterwards. I'll be using Blue bramble for sephiroth and White dog on Vincent as my main duo in the future, that helps fit a breach in with constant hits but should the need arise and an enemy is weak to phys earth then she is a good backup. I'm going to stick with Yuffie myself and wish I'd rolled the fire arcanum costume but sadly I didn't fully need it so waiting for some bigger power creep in that regard.

I use her for a lot of utility, but specifically when it’s time to buff Sephiroth wind damage. She’s nice because she can add that additional PATK, especially since when I’m using her as a utility I can put Cloud and Glenn’s limit break weapons on her, throw Matt in the party as an healer, run Cloud as the main DPS and usually they’re doing decent damage. I’d like to see her become the defacto elemental debuffer, with a costume that does that overall to enhance what her weapons do now.

[@Nitelight9]

@@jmaldo85 yeah, she hasn't gotten as much support as many were hoping, BUT she should be getting one of the sweet bahamut costumes for anniversary!!!!!

[@PhotographerRecords]

crystal cross is the MATK up version of the PATK up arctic star... they are ying and yang and equally valuable depending on the fight IMHO...

[@Nitelight9]

@@PhotographerRecords great catch!

[@mariobalaguer3328]

Just wanted to clarify Crystal Cross and Arctic Star aren’t exactly the same… Crystal Cross is a single target buff only, while Arctic Star puts a PATK buff on the user (Yuffie) and whoever else you target so it’s way better, plain and simple. Otherwise, just for simply buffing another character they are yin and yang. It’s still valuable but I’d say less in comparison to Arctic Star.

We approach to the end! Also 36hours until anniversary !!

She's in a weird spot currently as she has been outdone over time at all the things she's good at.

[@mariobalaguer3328]

Yep, I was gonna say this in my long initial post but ended up cutting it out. But I’m glad someone said it b/c I agree. She started off as a sub DPS/Debuffer (leaning more on the physical side of things) but Applibot pretty much pivoted from that to having her go full Physical DPS. Her utility, as you mentioned has pretty much been outclassed by the current utility gear and the characters kit’s those weapons belong too (Red, Barret, etc.) Doom posting aside, she is still a very good character and I’ve made her work in many situations where other options were “better” (example I cleared Levi EX2 with Yuffie while people were clearing it with Red, which was the better option for that)

[@yousigiltube]

I agree she was outdone on earth which is disappointing (all characters will get outdone eventually due to power creep anyway) but her kit is actually really good. The moogle float fire AOE weapon that boosts her fire damage, the wind arcanum that doesn't rely on HP and is not limited (looking at Vincents wind gun / zacks beatrix sword). Both of these could actually be best or near best anyway. I'd absolutely love to use Lucia with the AOE fire res down and then Yuffies fire AOE at the same time just for fun. If you want to free up a support unit to do something else (other than phys attack buff) her arctic star is the best secondary weapon for a damage dealer as it'll buff herself and another unit and she has a few breaches as well. To be fair the same could be said of Cloud, Glenn has a stronger weapon for water (half anniversary) Zack has a better electric weapon (monster hunter banner), and Yuffies AOE fire is so close on damage and catches up after the fire damage up that it simply is better since it hits AOE as well. I don't think Cloud is bad either though, you just have to accept there is a slight power creep here and there (but largely speaking, if you've built them to OB10 or whatever then the first set of power creep on any particular element won't be worth chasing so the equipment will last a while anyway). Final thing I'd note, her true downfall is the lack of sigil breaks on some weapons like her wind and ice one, not sure what they was thinking but the recent weapons include them like the earth and fire one so hopefully they've learned their lesson going forward..
