Ruby/Emerald Weapon Strategy Thread

[Skyblade]

Kill I think like 65 thousand enemies with Vincent's Death penalty, and then shoot Emmy with it. There you go.

That must take forever.

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

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.
