Ruby/Emerald Weapon Strategy Thread

Post all your strategies on killing these two bass-turds.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Kill I think like 65 thousand enemies with Vincent's Death penalty, and then shoot Emmy with it. There you go. Repeat for Ruby aswell, making sure he's the only one alive at the beginning.

[Aerith's Knight]

W-summon + KOTR + mime

Then proceed to beat the crap out of them.

That must take forever.

Anyway, I remember using Omnislash + Counter/Mime x 3 or so.

My favorite, except I use Barret's Ungarmax because it's faster.

65535 is the maximum number of kills that will count as a bonus to the damage of his Death Penalty, which is enough to overload the damage calculator against Emerald WEAPON and initiate the instant-kill. This strategy does not work against Ruby WEAPON, though, because Ruby's defense is too high.

Barret's Missing Score is also capable of overloading the damage calculator if outfitted with 8 Mastered Knight of the Round Materia, but not against either Ruby or Emerald WEAPON, as their defense is too high (the boost from the Mastered KotR Materia are not as high as the max boost Vincent is able to get).

Personally, not a fan of this strategy, because you lose all the AP from Emerald that would normally go to the Materia in his Weapon.

with 8 Mastered Knight of the Round Materia,

Am I missing something here?

[Goldenboko]

HP Absorb-KOTR, Mime

You instantly win.

[Aerith's Knight]

HP Absorb-KOTR, Mime

You instantly win.

Little tip.

If you add W-summon, the caster won't be able to do it twice, but the one who mimes it will

3 times KOTR. Instant win against Seffie, don't know about Weapons though. (But I believe it does about 300.000 damage)

[Skyblade]

with 8 Mastered Knight of the Round Materia,

Am I missing something here?

Barret's Ultimate Weapon has a damage modifier based on the AP of the Materia equipped to it. Knights of the Round has the highest AP total (since Underwater's cap of 16,777,215 AP will never apply to Barret's Ultimate Weapon) at 500,000 when Mastered. So 8 Mastered KotR Materia will give the highest possible boost to Barret's Ultimate Weapon, which is enough to overload the damage calculator against some enemies, resulting in an instant kill.

You're missing my point here, haxor.

There is only one KOTR materia in the game, last time I checked.

[TheSpoonyBard]

You can only find one, yes, but when it is mastered it gives birth to another. Master that and you have three. The number of materia you can have is limited only by the space allocated in the inventory*.

* Enemy Skill and Underwater cannot be mastered in the usual way and do not give birth to new materia.

That must be the most tedious grind in the world ever. But so are all these challenges. How much AP does Mime require to be Mastered?

I thought that didn't count with summon materia.

Boy, that's a good waste of months of your life right there.

[FFIX Choco Boy]

Course it counts with summons, otherwise u couldn't get more than 2 master summon materia, which I got 3 max in a single game, probably like 9 total(5 from Emmy kills) throughout my many playthroughs of this game.
