    Default omega and shinryu. who is harder?

    who is harder, omega or shinryu?

    i know alot of people on eoff dont have a difficult time with either of the optional bosses but they are considered the hardest in the game.

    omega has the 3-4 counter attacks which are unavoidable but mostly he aims at killing one character at a time (encircle, delta and blaster are all instant kills) shinryu doesnt have a weakness you can exploit and aims at killing your entire party in single hits (blizzard, tidal wave and his mealstrom + lightening combo)

    omega can be killed in a single hit where shinryu takes an entire turn.

    omega can unleash several attacks in a turn (including his counter attacks) but shinryu generally waits until your party has had their turn before attacking

    both are easy enough with the right strategy. just wondered who you thought was more of a challenge

    Shinryu - Omega at least as a weakness.

    Yes he does. He's weak to Dragon Spears. Equip a Coral Ring and two Dragon Spears on each charater, make 'em jump and he's dead in two rounds, tops.

    As for my opinion, Omega is FAR harder than Shinryu, simply because of the strategy I listed above. Even if you're using the right strategy, Omega can still kill you easily, unlike Shinryu, who's powerless against...well...you know. It took me several tries jsut to get Omega's strategy working, much less actaully killing him.

    I always found Omega harder, though I've not played the game in over a year, so I should try again sometime.

    does anyone actually really seriously go out of their way to find that many dragon spears??? wtf you can kill him in 1 turn at level 45 without coral rings!

    true omega is probabley the harder. but not hard really. what strategy did you put together. basically, if you equip time magic and hide you can cast "quick" attack then hide. he literelly cant hurt you. with omega you just have to play defensively. if you try to play offensively you wont last 10 seconds

    I found Omega harder but they were both pretty easy if you prepare right.

    Omega....Shinruy is super easy..the only thing power about him is how he starts with tidal wave but that easily be absobed with coral rings. After the first attack its all cake and pie -_-

    Omega seemed easier only in the sense that it has weaknesses. Unlike Shinryu

    The same can be said for Omega and Shinryu in DoS.
