[FF7: Ever Crisis] - Beating Shiva Very Hard Mode! All Mechanics & Team prep broken down

[@genshinimpact1670]

Thank you for this guide! I was getting instantly one tapped after the first Ice Age and didn't realize I could reduce it so quickly!

[@PayneBlade]

Np bro bro!

[@jaybayblay]

Thank you SO MUCH for this guide. I know I was asking for it the last 2 videos before this and sorry for bothering you when you had a lot going on at the time. Again, thank you so much I FINALLY BEAT IT with tifa, cloud and aerith at 137k power! I used tifa LB with cloud level 5 hellfire.. I barely beat it because as I was about to kill her, her diamond dust killed cloud and tifa with only aerith around and shortly after she was charging up for ANOTHER diamond dust and I freaked out spamming Fira and luckily killed her before she got it off 🥲 level 5 hellfire was a MUST and I wouldn't have figured that out myself. LOVE YOU SIR

[@PayneBlade]

Np man! Congrats on finishing it! I hope the guide helped do it a bit cleaner! Tifa is the perfect unit for this fight too!

[@samuelleie]

Hey I just notice that your sub weapons for Cloud are overfeeding the PATK ability. Since you have a maxout murasame you are getting 40 PATK + 5 from the costume, the last PATK R. Ability boost is at 55 points, so you just need the Broadsword Axis to maxout it. In terms of R. Ability both Maritime Sword and the Motor Drive aren't doing a thing for you. It would be better to switch this two weapons for others that have ATK boost or HP if you prefer.

[@PayneBlade]

Good call! I didn't even notice that. I'll be swapping it to hp for sure haha

[@akinamori1615]

I used Red XIII for Magical Attack debuff and Aerith for Armor debuff with Fire Breach. Fire breach pretty good if you don't have armor debuff weapon.

[@PayneBlade]

Ya there are many ways to do this fight for sure

[@RandemNJ]

ty for the guide....one of my main issues now is the timing of manually switching from attack and defense stance before she hits her AoE attacks.....I've been accustomed to "Auto" that I already know I'm gonna have trouble with this one😅 I also gotta see if I have an alternative weapon that can also do "MDEF down" other than Barret's......if not, I guess I have to hold off on this fight until it shows up on one of my multi pulls (from the wish list)

[@PayneBlade]

Np! U can use Tifa as well with tiger fangs as well. I built a list of weapons that do debuffs so you can check that out as well

[@VisceralNyx]

Have you beat VH Rufus in story? Have yet to find anyone beat it so im looking for builds

[@PayneBlade]

haven't tried yet tbh! will perhaps try on f2p account

[@ijucei86]

Is there a materia that reduces enemy MATK? If so what is it called and where do you find it? I can’t find one on my account.

[@PayneBlade]

Not yet haha that's why I went back to actually bring weapon. If it does exist I also haven't seen it. We only have debraver atm for patk down

[@ijucei86]

Thanks, yea I just wanted to make sure I hadn’t missed it. Great vids man, very helpful.

[@RanceLewis]

I love red 13 so can you use him instead of Barrett

[@malealejo]

Can you do a video helping f2p with melon figth #5 to try for the weapon, y cant reach 80k or water damage

[@PayneBlade]

Not sure if you saw the videos but I did ex1 to get the axe

[@DamonCarter-i5p]

I don’t think I can complete this until I get Barrett or tifa’s weapons that decrease magic attack. I don’t have either yet. Great guide though.

[@PayneBlade]

Ty bro! Ya unfortunately not having a magic atk down debuff materia yet makes it tougher

[@joshuafitzpatrick7714]

This video saved my ass thank you

[@PayneBlade]

Np!

[@latingdmcvergil]

This is a guide for whales bro... no for common people like me. Just look all those white weapons u have maxed... we need like a month or even more to get 150k of power and some luck getting weapons to make some debuff. Anyway nice video.

[@PayneBlade]

It was a mechanics video. I broke down each phase with everything she does so you can prepare for the fight and know what you need. Not sure what whaling or f2p have to do with the mechanics brotha. It wasn't about beating her

[@ElSupico]

This is a guide for everyone, if you're not a whale you'll take a bit longer to get to the point where you can do the fight, but you'll still be able to do it eventually. Just keep playing and enjoying the game and stop expecting to be able to do everything right away

[@TheAcad3mic]

​@PayneBlade behave now, you can say the mechanics are good cause you have that barret weapon maxed out.

[@Alkaiser609]

Good one Payne, she is the hardest of the summons in my opinion due to fog. :D sad for all those who fed their esuna fog lol (like myself) if you have enough damage to get ice age down without hellfire it will do a metric F ton of damage to her with her stats down after stun.

[@PayneBlade]

Haha ya I got rid of esuna too but I got the recipe on my f2p. I forgot to lock it when I got it on main

[@stephx9759]

How much money are you into the game?

[@PayneBlade]

450

[@unskillfullymasterful]

some people thought this game will be easy lmaoo . u wont be autoing anything even as super whale . actually you prob could but i wouldnt know

[@PayneBlade]

Haha ya I don't think auto is gonna happen until people are way above it

[@allauthorities]

Vanish auto completes everything due to him having 330k+ power. If I don't see him at top of leaderboards when they come out I'll be surprised

[@DamonCarter-i5p]

Seen screenshots of some whales accounts. I feel like they can auto anything. It feels like this to me because some overboosted subweapons can really change the power level of some characters drastically. And most whales have like everything overboosted to the max.

[@unskillfullymasterful]

@user-fc9mn7te5d dang that's insane lol.. but it's not like we can't ever reach that by just playing.. it will just likely take years 🤣 unless you're just super lucky with pulls! I'm around half of that in power already and have no gacha weapons maxed

[@RanceLewis]

I was going to just use sled gang

[@PayneBlade]

That works too! My barrett has better hp so i prefer him and his bazooka is higher up

[@RanceLewis]

@@PayneBlade thank you Chief

[@PayneBlade]

@cardsaint1553 np but just remember u need to remove 5 stacks so bring another matk down

[@rosegokublack9863]

Yup i cant do it even with such a good team sad this game caters to p2p just o beat things lkke this to get her second ability

[@PayneBlade]

It really doesn't cater to p2p brotha. I'm going to beat this on my f2p with a 120k team soon. Just gotta setup and watch the timing on each phase

[@rosegokublack9863]

@PayneBlade it feels like it does when she is just going ham at under 50 percent health and even with hellfire I can't stop the second bar and she diamond dusts me and I lose dude I've been doing this boss for 2 days to get diamond dust I maxed out my fire proc and I'm Barley denting the bar it seems so unfair

[@NME_MIG]

"she-va" Not shiv-a

[@PayneBlade]

Nah traditionally it's shiv a. U can see it either way. This one originates from the hindu god

[@NME_MIG]

In final fantasy, it's she-va

[@PayneBlade]

U can look it up haha. She was influenced by shiva and Parvati. It's pronounced either way

[@joshuanaranjo7974]

It's pronounced "chicken monkey"
