Yeah, they punish you for having a slow and steady style in this game. I didn't anticipate a scene with bart. so I had snow, hope, and lightning in here. If it wasn't for doom, he didn't have the slightest chance of getting me. Alex. will interrupt doom, but doesn't cure it. It'll be where it left off after the summon is done. Yeah, no point in having hope in on this one. Get vanille in there instead to sab him. I'm definitely doing that for my second effort. Probably gonna keep snow and light 'cause I really overpowered their weapons. It's kind of a waste to over-buff since he's always debuffing and gimping you. I don't think hope's of much help this fight
