Quina really is the god character, can literally do everything: Attack damage is respectable with good Add Status options Cook insta-kills enemies below 50% hp which just gets better as the game goes on The Millionaire ability is absolutely incredible, you definitely can struggle with Gil in this game because of how expensive buying/synthing a lot of items can be. You also can have this as soon as you get Quina. More HP than the other casters Level 5 Death for Grand Dragon farming and for killing everything in the Desert Palace Level 4 Holy kills certain mobs in Outer Continent Level 3 Def Less works on some bosses, can do it while Zidane is stealing, works multiple times Aqua Breath does 25% of the enemy's max HP to all targets. Gets strong in the late game and also can help you work out the enemy HP without using Scan Mighty Guard does what would take Garnet 8 turns doing in 1 turn. Even more with Half HP ability. Boss Winning move Matra Magic can be used on yourself to set up for Limit Glove Bad Breath cripples some enemies into being powerless, even works on a lot of bosses Limit Glove is a dominant strategy in speed runs and other exploitative ways of playing the game 1000 Needles is a reliable attack in the Outer Continent Night will always work if the enemy is vulnerable to Sleep. Works on many bosses, only needs Insomniac on every party member which is not hard or much of a sacrifice Twister generally just wipes out trash mobs and does amazing damage to flying enemies (many enemies) Earth Shake is basically an alternative for Twister Angel's Snack is your insurance policy. Extremely good for Ozma and Necron Frop Drop is the best 9999 in the game. The animation is mercifully short as well (Thievery...) White Wind makes it viable to not have a White Mage in the party Vanish can be cast on an ally who is using Cover to make them block attacks and take no damage as well Magic Hammer can cripple some bosses while Zidane is stealing Auto-Life is great insurance and sets up for Limit Glove The more you understand Quina's moves the more powerful Quina becomes. The potential of the character is way beyond the rest of the cast.

Her Eidolon trance skill is also pretty good, just summon Bahamut or Ark (if you don't mind the long animation) and leave her on standby so her trance bar doesn't deplete and she can destroy bosses with the continuous summoning with no mp cost.

You probably don't know how to use Garnet/Dagger right. Max out Garnet(gems), max out magic, spirit stat and try to get as much speed stat as possible(to hasten the regen intervals), equip Boost, auto-haste and auto-regen abilities(and auto-life if you're generous), fill up her trance guage to almost full, and enter the fight with Kuja or other endgame/side bosses. Summon Bahamut after trance, and drop that controller. She's easily better than Eiko during trance, while Eiko is better normally. And Steiner ranked that low? You probably have not abused Steiner's Charge! ability. It's literally what speedrunners utilise for a ton of extra damage with a single turn. And if everyone hits for max damage, you're looking at an extra 9999 to 39,996 dmg in a turn. In which, even Ozma and Quale wouldn't live through if everyone is in critical health, like just died and got revived with a phoenix down(including Steiner). Steiner use Charge! and the other 3 use Attack. Straight up 69,993 damage with very little set up.

This is if you're power leveling late game but Steiner can do 9999 without going out of your way to grind crest or steal or catch frogs by the time you have access to Ozma. The set up I used to beat Ozma below lvl 50 without the stupid animal quest was Quina Steiner Eiko and Zidane because I can't take him out of the party for some reason. If you are grinding it's Zidane, Quina and Freya because they have access to consistent fixed damage and if you really want to heal you're better off running Vivi with Doomsday and dark absorb items, there should be enough for at least 4 members.

Zidane, Dagger, Vivi and Steiner are the quintessential FF party. Fighter, thief, white mage, black mage. And this video is ... off, to say the least. It's really more about his personal preference than an objective ranking. About the only thing I do agree with is that Quina is god-tier. In reality, all characters have the chance to shine if you use them properly. It just depends on how much time and effort you're willing to put into them.
@Walamonga13133 жыл бұрын
Those are the ones I used the first time I beat the game. On my second run (where I got 100%), I ended up using Steiner, Vivi, Freya and Eiko. Eiko is god tier alone because of her Carbuncle, Full Life and Phoenix abilities. I got deleted by Ozma but Phoenix activated and saved my ass by reviving everyone so that I could first try it.
@Walamonga13133 жыл бұрын
@@mr.battle20 Same, Quina is definitely the most OP and diverse but getting all blue magic and frogs? Zzz who has the time for that shit. Just kill a bunch of dragons with Freya and guaranteed 9999 damage. Vivi is amazing with a white mage in the party thanks to Reflect. Also Doomsday+party with Shadow resistance/absorption=easy game. Steiner has the highest HP so he can tank whenever everyone else dies, as well as do massive physical AND magical damage. And Eiko well I already mentioned above. EDIT: Oh and also with Holy attack up equipment, she can deal tons of damage by herself using Holy.
@minaly224 жыл бұрын
My team was always Zidane + Quina + Freya + Eiko once every team member was available. Never deviated from that setup once. Maybe I would have gone with Amarant over Freya if I didn't grind at the dragon so much that I ended up maxing out Freya's damage with her Dragon Crest, as both Amarant and Freya's support skills are very similar. Eiko is my preferred white mage due to having Holy and Full Life, and Carbuncle support (especially paired with specific jewels). Quina is OP even without maxing out their damage by catching frogs, and that's enough justification to add them to the team.

2:49 Steiner's Sword Magic *DOES NOT* in fact use Vivi's MP. It uses Steiner's MP. In either case, Vivi is your best way to take advantage of elemental weakness, and you can even use Doomsday to heal the party provided they are equipped with Shadow-absorbing equipment. Maybe consider putting him up one tier at least, the only two problems he has are MP usage (which can be solved with either Amarant or ethers/elixirs), and reflect requiring setup (not that bad). Eiko should also DEFINITELY be higher due to the Marcus Stat Glitch, she's the only character who can max out her Strength or Magic stat this way. Not only that, but she has Haste, which is great until you can get your hands on Auto-Haste. I don't see how you can, in good conscience, put Zidane higher than either of them, they are equal at best, albeit for different reasons. Especially when his main gimmick, stealing from enemies to make Thievery stronger, is a chore in comparison to the reflect strategy. "Couldn't steal anything." "Couldn't steal anything." "Couldn't steal anything." That's playing Zidane in a nutshell for most of the game. His Dyne abilities are strong, and yes, Soul Blade and Thievery are amazing (especially Thievery), but he's more niche than both Vivi and Eiko.

A lot of people think the team of Zidane, Garnet, Vivi, and Steiner is the best but I disagree. My team through many playthroughs is Zidane, Freya, Garnet (Eiko during the mute time), and Vivi. 😊 I know this is off a little bit but even if the guides for any FF Game recommends a party I don't go by it. XIII is a prime example as the guide recommends Lightning, Hope, and Fang. Nope! Lightning, Sazh, and Vanille the entire way. 😅

You did my girl Garnet wrong lol, endgame, get a couple garnets, maximize magic + spirit and summon Bahamut during her limit break. She'll be dealing 5000 damage nonstop without spending MP or a turn!

Get 99 garnets by synthesising and Bahamut will deal 9999

"There's an entire section where she's permanently mute and can't use magic." ...no, there's an entire section where she's got this slight chance of failing to execute a command in combat. I recently replayed the game, and as long as you put the Tiger Racket on her and use her as an attacker she does more damage than anybody else during that section because of how overtuned that item is relative to when you can get it. It was really weird.

Dagger is far from bottom tier! You just need a good set up, like any character late game. Her long summon animations are perfect for auto-regen to basically completely heal your entire party and cause damage to boot (especially Ark). And all her other summons cause more damage based on the number of their stones you have in your inventory, so even her cheaper summons can still do good damage.

@BJGvideos2 жыл бұрын
Ok maybe you can help me then because I've never been able to get anything strong out of him. He's always been a load on my party with almost no attack. How do I build a successful Amarant?
@EarthenCavy2 жыл бұрын
@@BJGvideos okay, first? You NEED to power up his abilities as soon as you get him, and chocograph like hell. Pause everything you are doing and focus on him. His Throw is OP as hell when he first arrives, and since it’s a ranged attack, he can do massive damage from the back row. That’ll do great, until you can get No Mercy from his claws. Back row, 1.5x dmg. This attack is particularly effective in enemies weak vs wind- equip the Kaiser Knuckle and black belt. Absolute wreckage, especially vs Ark in Oeilvert! He’s a beast vs Ozma, too. I easily one-on-one Ozma with that gear + return magic. Where Ammy truly shines, though, is not so much in DPS, but in UTILITY. Though he CAN wreck faces with damage if given the proper kit, Amarant is best at support. He can regen+auto-life the whole party in trance for 14mp. When Necron killed both my Quina and Eiko with that damn Southern Cross attack, he revived them both with 1/3hp in one turn. Amarant also inflicted a holy weakness on Necron with Curse, so Eiko ruined that boss hard, even with the Shell up. Ammy is literally the only character that can counter BOTH phys AND magic at once, and his mp healing with Power Up’d Chakra is far more powerful than using an ether, and if he’s tranced, that’s the whole party for a pittance! Having him equipped with High Tide is an absolute must. So, yeah! My husbando is definitely my best go-to character, and he’s really a killer support for both Quina and Eiko (my other two party members). Give him a shot! 💕

Zidane, eiko, vivi, steiner. Late game strategy was. All party member absorb shadow damage. Doomsday 9999. Damage all enemys and heal party entirely. Everytime. And then doomsday sword with steiner. Cheaper to use than his own skills like climhazzard. Eiko holy and healing if there is need of that. I newer stole that much with zidane so i mention only trance anttacks with him and supporting. But i just started this game again so il try your combination. You should try this my strategy also if you havent yet. Low tier char but works enought. Against ozma quina is vital. I agree with that mighty guardian without that its very hard match. My opinion,

I don't know if this is related to PC moguri or memoria mod where you have 100% rate success but I found myself with lotsa ethers, so MP-limited characters soon become not a problem at all. I mean I found myself far more limited with low mp problems in FF X where ether is damn difficult to find :/

Each character is good in their own sense. But the most well rounded character is Amarant. If given the healer ability his melee attacks will heal about 3000hp for zero MP cost and he can still dps using thrown weapons/chi blast for huge damage, equipping him with high tide will give plenty of group regens and chakras.I often use Amarant as a healer, but with his skills and abilities his damage output is just that much better then eiko or dagger. :)

I won't worry to much about that. This game has so much hidden mechanic to make characters good. No offense to this channel but he missed a lot of game mechanics to make tier list.. Steiner is low tier in this video but speedrunners use him thanks to his support skill boosting other 3 chars. I also made way to boost Garnet with her Jewels so her summons can easily deal 9999 damage and her trance is best to use on the boss if you know its mechanic...
@MiguelGonzalez-hs4rd2 жыл бұрын
actually Quina's ability needs much more than 100 frogs. The calculation of the attack is: the number of frogs multiplied by Quina's level, even being level 99 (the limit) does not reach 9999, and honestly I think you can spend the game with a level around 50, so you would need about than 200 frogs for the attack to make 9999. Quina is indeed the best, considering his ability as an attacker, support and healer.
@taroupriapus97602 жыл бұрын
Yes, I was level 99 with Quina and I remember I added my frog catch up to 105 or 106 to get 9999 damage

I try to stick with the classic party as much as possible, Zidane, Steiner, Garnet, and Vivi, just like the Thief, Fighter, White Mage, and Black Mage in 8-Bit Theater. It can be a real struggle sometimes.
