Catnip

[The One Winged Angel]

I have yet to get it, but I'm suddenly quite concerned. Can only Yuna use it or something? Becasue everywhere I go it always says to make Yuna the gunner, personally I have almost mastered Gunner with Rikku so I'm hopign this is not the case, but just wondering...

[soulICE]

you can use catnip with anyone. guides use Yuna as a gunner since its her default dress sphere.

[The One Winged Angel]

Ah good, thanks, I thought it should be but got nervous when I saw her used in every FAQ, guide, walkthrough & forum i went to

[DMKA]

Call me an idiot, but wtf does catnip do? I have 2 of them I believe, and I have never used them.

[soulICE]

if the girl who is wearing the catnip goes into critical (her HP is yellow) any attack or magic (black and white) will do 9999. i dont know if this would work with items too.

guides use the gunner/catnip strategy because if your gunner is in critical, her trigger happy will do 9999 per hit. =)

[Big D]

Whoa.
O_o_O

So your Beserker can just use 'Howl', then spherechange to a Gunner and unleash unholy death?

[Del Murder]

Half hp is not critical, as far as I remember. I just have the gunner attack herself the first turn.

[Big D]

Anything less than half - even 1 hp less - is critical, I think.

[Del Murder]

Hm, I thought otherwise. I guess we could play the game and check, but it's all the way upstairs.

[jochirin]

lol :P :D sounds kinda like something id say :D^^

[The One Winged Angel]

It's 1/3 HP for critical, I'm almost positive, well, I've always thought it was, could be wrong though..

[aeris2001x2]

it is 1/3 and man cat nip is a life saver 4 a weak team like mine lv78,lv76,lv92 with only half dress spheres mastered.

is it possible 2 do more ten 13x9999 with catnip gunner in the game?

Cast haste in some fashion. I can do up to 20.

[zoti]

where do you get catnip???

[The One Winged Angel]

Via Infinito in Bevelle in chapter 5, get yourself up to Cloister 40 and beat the boss there

[Snowman]

catnip is a wonderful item and probably one of the best in ANY FF game. the reason you give it to a gunner is because once you have trigger happy LV3 you can shot shit loads of times. so when your gunner, who doesnt have much HP anyway, goes into the yellow, use trigger happy and each shot will inflict 9999
this basically means with careful tactics you can beat almost ANY villian in the FF game.

but to get it, you have to beat the dark elemental, no easy task you may find. i was stupid enough to read the guide, so i did several attempts but my team was only on level fifty and flare nocked 9999 off, while ultima killed everyone.

theres an easy way to win tho, with pain as a dark knight, make sure your white mage goes first and cast reflect. if he casts flare it will reflect and destroy him, if he uses ultima, kiss your butt good by and try again, it's worth it

[The One Winged Angel]

Or just do what I did and whip out your songstress and Magic Masque him... then you can do whatever you like

[Snowman]

dont you need the magical song books to get magical masque.....which i didnt have first time around since i wasnt useing the guide

[The One Winged Angel]

You only need the second which you get from beating Experiment at lvl 5. I think

[Snowman]

ah there you are, i wanted catnip before i decided to embrace that challenge, at least theres a number of easy ways to get it, and with new game plus i should have two when i reach chapter five again

[aeris2001x2]

cat nip is actually very useful with the dark knight ability BLACK SKY. i have yuna with moogle and arcana abilitys avaliable. this makes sure my defense is high but i can also do damage. true its not as powerful as trigger and sumtimes i do return 2 gunner. but i beat trema with ease using that.

[Spiritus Sancti]

To beat the dark elemental i mastered spare change and threw a crap load of money at it killed it in 1 hit as it only has 9999 hp.

[Snowman]

well thats one expensive way to do it lol. another is Zanmato, it has a very weak defence against Zanmato, so if you get that in
