I didn't grind though, as soon as you leave Midgar you have access to the ES Matra Magic, which kills almost any group of enemies: just have Aerith kill everything and it becomes Par for course. Secondly I have Cloud at his second limit break also without grinding, when you take into consideration that he requires 120 enemies, only a blind man could fail to see that getting her limits is completely par for course.Originally Posted by Depression Moon
Lets break it down: she requires 160 kills in total to be able to unlock 2/1 and 3/1 even if you're not going for her 4/1 limit, it seems such a waste NOT to use her if only for her Fury Brand.
Also if you hang around sector 7 just before the plate falls you can get her Striking Staff if you steal it from Eligor, which puts her attack higher then Cloud right up until he gets Hardedge, Barrett until you can steal it from Custom Sweeper (oudside Midgar) and Tifa until you steal it from Madouge (Mithril Mines).
When we take into account how easy Beta is to get as soon as you leave Midgar (yes without grinding it is 100% do able as seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_FUCyFclBw ) with Aeriths high magic stat, she goes from being "poor fighter" to boss slaughterer within minutes of leaving Midgar.
People who prioritize attack over magic are going to be spend a great deal longer killing any enemy I mean you run into a group of 5 Cappawire cast matra magic and bam... 5 dead caps or you can attack with Cloud, he does (with hardedge) about 150 damage, they have an HP of 210, now it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the math on this one.
You were very lucky then lol, I honestly thought the game was broken when I was setting out to get her.
