full summon animation

[Karl]

The Boost support ability, learned from a Pumice Piece, which you can get from:

a) Defeating Ark
b) Chocobo H & C
c) Stealing from Ozma
d) Synthing at Hades synth shop

I thought it was the ol' "hold X" trick… that seemed to work for me

just go with the boost ability, it makes atmos do 9,999 dam. and is very useful(hint: never use atmos in a boss battle!)

Atomos' attack power is 30 plus the number of Amethysts you have in inventory, and the damage done is that number as a percent of the target's Max Hp.

Say you have 33 Amethysts and you use Atomos against a target with 8500 Hp, the damage will be 63% of 8500.

8500 * .63 = 5355 damage.

^ That's with full-animation though. With half-animation Atomos would cause 2/3 that much damage.

[(5355 / 3) * 2] = 3570 damage

For 9999 damage with boost you would need an enemy with at least 7752 Hp along with 99 Amethysts, or an enemy with 9999 Hp and at least 70 Amethysts. Those are the minimum requirements for each I think.

I'm sure a few other Amethyst-to-Hp ratios would produce 9999 damage, but I'm not figuring them all out and listing them.
