I'm trying to work out why Lightening sucks.


I was using Fang/Sahz/vanille and killed adamantoise fine. I decided to switch Sahz for Light since she has better damage potential plus the auto-stagger and I just maxed her Syn role which was the main reason I used Sahz.


Despite having more health than vanille though as well as more damage reduction she keeps dying. Repeatedly. I cannot kill two feet without her dying first.


Whats up? Why she suck?

 

 

well, you can easilly prevent that to happen if you change to Sen/Sen/Sen right before the Stomp. (4k..?) if i had to rate the Characters in Battle, i'd go with the following:

 

Vanille: 10/10 (She IS a Beast, and i manage to deal 999.999 Damage w/her once the enemy is staggered., i killed Long Gui when he felt down first)

Lightning: 9,8/10 (Sadly, she is missing some good skills in some Class-Roles, but she is the best ravager, imo)

Fang: 9,5/10 (Great Commander, but not as useful in other Roles as Light)

Hope: 9,4/10 (Greatly Doing his Job as Syn/Rav, and yes, he hasnt as much life points as the others, but i dont care.)

Snow: 8/10 (The BEST Sentinel available, he can eat damage as it would be nothing. Long Gui's Stomp deal's 100-200 Damage with total defense. but he lacks some Strength and Magic, so the others are a bit more useful in other Roles)

Sazh: 6,5/10 (He's the only one with offensive Syn Spells, but once that Changes, he's Useless, because his stats does suck.)

How much magic do you have in order to pull that off? I have 3K magic and even to 999% staggered Adamantoises, I only do 200K tops o.O

 

tried to switch to Commander (Com/Com/Com) before the Death Skill Hit's?

During the animation of Death? Nope haven't tried that. Does that make any hit that connects during that animation, a 999.999 strike? o.o

well yes, you have the 2,5x Damage Bonus from the Commander Role, and additional 1,2x of everyone else who is, when you change before the Death-Animation show's the Number.

this, connected w/ all useful Buffs and Debuffs will lead to insane Damage.

I'll try that then xD But how did you took down the legs of the Long Gui before hand? Since you're using Vanille as the party leader, you don't have access to Highwind, which is the fastest way to take them down. 

 

there are two ways, i tried both:

harder: just pwn them. Com/Rav/Rav - /Rav/Rav/Rav, and if staggered above 700%, Com/Com/Com.

easy: call Hecatoncheir, he'll do the job when summoned, instantly. (and send him back to have all 3 Party-Members out)

I'll try the harder way, since I'm trying to do Long Gui's runs killing all 4 of them on the Steppe before saving. Using the Summon trick will take too much time, since you'll have to recharge TP before each fight.
