Once you raise your overall HP high enough to survive the easier Basic stages, start boosting the Strength and Magic stats of your team. Shantotto: Dualcast, Bluff, Ultima, Ancient Magic Ĭosmos: Paeon Lv 1, Paeon Lv 2, Paeon Lv 3, Soul Voice Paine: Counter Lv 1, Counter Lv 2, Counter Lv 3, Added Cut or Counter Lv 2, Counter Lv 3, Added Cut, Sword Dance Īuron: Counter Lv 1, Counter Lv 2, Counter Lv 3, Added Cut Here is the current setup that I'm using: Prishe has the first two levels of Counter and can fill her last two slots with any two of Chakra Lv 3, Paeon Lv 2, or The Five Lights. His fourth ability slot can be filled with Chakra Lv 2 for added healing. Edge has the first two levels of Counter and Added Cut. There are a few other characters worth consideration. Of the remaining three, I prefer Auron as he's also a part of my BMS team. Of the four, Paine is the most versatile as she also has a Limit Break that deals damage on boss characters. The best overall ability to pair with three levels of Counter is Added Cut since it will activate each time all three Counters activate.īy looking at which characters have all three levels of Counter and also Added Cut, we narrow the choices down to four: Sephiroth, Auron, Lightning, and Paine. There are plenty of character that can use all levels of Counter, so we will narrow the choices down further by considering what other abilities to use. The only way to deal damage without actually doing anything is by using Counters. This is where the physical damage dealers come into play. Now, the only way we'll be able to get to a boss in the first place is to be able to kill a few enemies. You'll also want to use a scroll to teach her Ultima. The only character who can do that is Shantotto. The best way to do that is to stack Bluff and Dualcast. Since these will basically be one shot spells, we want to make them as strong as possible. This person will just stand around until the first boss enemy shows up and then will unleash a fury that will decimate several enemies in a row. We want to have a single magic user as well. This narrowly outperforms Elegy Lv 3 and makes Cosmos the overall best healer. The most viable option for the final option is Soul Voice, which will double the healing effect on the healer and thus provide a huge boost to the overall healing provided. The last skill is the one that makes the decision for us. As there are only three characters that have all three Paeon skills, that narrows it down quite a bit. Two of these roles can only be filled by one person.įor healing, the single most efficient method of healing is by stacking Paeon skills. The optimal setup for this will be a healer, two melee damage dealers, and one magic damage dealer. You will need to sink a lot of time into this to make it really viable, so be prepared to strap in and get comfortable. You are absolutely going to need to use the Collecta Crystarium. This is going to be a lot more tough than the first option.
