206th Floor - FFVII Last Calling - Sephiroth Tower + extra videos

Video

Because I think we can learn from each other and improve our understanding of the game and come up with better strategies and tactics, I want to share with the community some videos of the last tower:

And some extra videos from the Warrior tower I didn't upload previously as a bonus:

I think that one interesting way to counter the flood of hackers in the tower is lower the importance of ranking in the tower and more on how much one can contribute to the community. We already can see many contributors in reddit and discord with whom we can enjoy and share our passion, thank you all!

Any question and constructive comment is welcome =)

Thank you. I'm always wondering how you manage so many kills. I got 105 and was getting so hard, even with Ragnarok.

One of the most understimated aspect of mobius is the importance of weapon boosting.

Without a good variety of weapons with the most important mods, it is hard even with supremes at hand. Sooner or later we may pull a supreme or even OP jobs or event cards, so it is important to plan ahead and start boosting (mid-late) future-proof weapons "in case you ever get that supreme".

Coming from me, who ignored Bahamut Lagoon until 2-3 months ago in JP. I wholeheartedly agree with your comment on this. Even with multiple supreme or most meta cards in my possession, lacking highly moded weapon really is the biggest factor why I struggled so hard every tower compare to easy climbing life in GL (which I still don’t have a single 5-star weapon but most are highly modded).

Yes, we talked about weapons before. Chaos crescent proved MVP with Glam Vamp's ultimate to break for me. I'm boosting Ehergeiz in case I pull Yiazmat/Duncan. I will study your videos to see if I can get a notion on how you manage twice as many kills than me.

Watching your Masamune reunion procs makes my mouth water.

It's actually 1 strategy to get them as close as you can to 50% hp to break them before triggering perfect defense.

Stalling, knowing how many actions you want to have before you break, what orbs do I want on my bar before putting him to sleep .. all these things you have to think about when trying to climb higher .. sometimes your plan doesn't even go as planned and you have to adjust right then and there

That's what I love about towers .. never a dull moment

I love towers because they all require to think about diverse strategies and the complexity of the Materia system made it even more entertaining!

Deviousssss•

Yeah I just wish they opened that area for testing materia setups BEFORE the tower started.

Cheers for posting m8 👍

That would have helped us a lot. We had something similar for the FFXIII Collaboration (3 nodes in a triangle).

Good stuff, man. I was terribly curious what you were using in your subdeck and now it's nice to know.

If you're looking for one piece of advice (even though I placed one lower), be a bit more careful with how many orbs you have remaining in your tray so you're not stuck driving on the next turn. Been there before and it patently sucks, haha.

psiwarOP•

Yeah, I was talking about that in discord, on how Echo messed my focus in the 200th run when she gave me 2-action Quicken after I used my ultimate. I wasn't looking at the action-counter at that second, so when I broke and saw my actions left, I was pissed and was thinking about bailing, and I started not paying atention to details (because it was a messy run that I would probably delete).

2
SwiftStepStomp•

If that's not an example of auto-pilot at play, I don't know what is!

iarley23•

By any chance, did you record any videos of your performance?

1
SwiftStepStomp•

Yeah. I have a youtube channel; you can find the links in the tower megathread. I wanted to post one more (which was my cleanest and most precise yet), but I think the video file corrupted.

womp womp

Cool, thanks for sharing!

That's very precise HP damage for that Sephiroth battle.
I definitely see why reunion is relevant for supreme builds.
Nicely Done !

Reunion and Prismatic Return make everything better. Except when you're at the end of a turn and you need to drive and leave at least three element orbs so you can Draw-Force next turn but your bar is all prismatic.

2
extrumcreator•

For normal attack cards, I prefer weapons like Truescale Staff and Gunblade over Umbrella and Masamune for Improved Criticals. I don't want to take my chances on prismatic return for nukes when I could be doing more damage guaranteed from Truescale Staff and Gunblade. Not really convinced that Reunion is better than improved critical, except in the case of supreme cards.
Vesna's weapon is an exception because it has both which I'll pick that up once it's available.

Even_Adder•

When I'm breaking neutral targets red gauge is what matters. The more times you get a prismatic return or reunion the better you break. And if you break you survive.

1
extrumcreator•

I agree that for dealing with yellow gauge then yes. Prismatic Returns are favorable for that case.
My 2nd comment is initially referring to nuking, as in damage cards which is what I refer to as attack cards.
Like Mage Omniscient, then I'd much prefer truescale or eternity staves over Umbrella because prismatic return is too much of a gamble to rely on for nuking. For Yellow gauge like FFVII weapon cards (which I avoided using purposely on towers) and BDD/CRD cards I'd use Umbrella (plus prismatic return of course) if my Umbrella was actually boosted which I never bothered to boost.
Continuous yellow gauge damage is the best case scenario for breaking which I agree with you.
For Red Gauge, I went the ulti charge path with Taiji and Orichalcum.
In cases where I had both yellow gauge cards and attack cards, using Mage with Omniscient+Mermaid as an example, then I'd rather use Truescale Staff over Umbrella or any currently GL existing reunion weapon.

i didnt see any perfect defense on the unbroken sicariuses and sephiroth at half HP? am i missing something?

1
psiwarOP•

If you break them before 50% HP, they won't get Perfect Defense.

1
bendixvxiii•

i must be crossed-eye. i thought you broke them around 40-45% HP. hard to tell

1
psiwarOP•

I used the debarrier down-arrow as an indicator of how much I can damage before triggering perfect defense. Seph has almost 100 million HP in the video, so 1 or 2 casts of Ragna won't move the HP bar too much.

1
psiwarOP•

Looking more carefuly at the recording, you'll see that before breaking, the Sephiroth HP reaches the down-arrow of debarrier and after the first hit breaks him, he receives 3 hits of 900k damage.

Did you stop using Ragnarok and let him die from poison? Lol
