Besides, light curtains are cheap, and 2x light curtains is a wonderful mix. Just wait to apply it after you knock him down
That's one, out of many. If you still rely on those little tricks to get you to survive, I have a serious feeling that you won't survive too many of those battles. Sure, you can use it after the fact, but once you are there, I doubt that you will have 30k+ HP to spare, or 255 in everything, thus reducing all attacks to manageable amounts. If you can survive those battles without them, you can beat all of the battles.

And yes, I'm well aware of the common-ness of Curtains.

Also, for the rest of you, I hope that you know Wakka's Overdrive is affected by Defense ratings, right? This means he doesn't deal 99999*12 with a perfect Reels. He doeals closer to 30000*12, and Nemesis has several million HP. Whatever he counters Overdrives with is of little concern to heal, since you won't live too long afterwards, if you do use Overdrives. The cooldown time is simply too long for little to no payoff. Normal attacks, such as Quick Hit, deal more damage, and speed up your turns.

EDIT: Ohh, btw, rubah, did you know I couldn't quote your damned post for the longest time because I couldn't find your Quote button? Your signature is messing up the tables.
