    Congratulations!!

    Do you think any future battles (bar Omega) will be extremely difficult?

    The Final Battle will be very difficult.

    Hey nice work son I couldn't think how to get by this battle, though i'm not surprised that you prevailed

    I agree with the final battle too. Got any ideas how you might survive Shockwave pulsar? Shell just won't reduce the damage by enough to stop your entire party being wiped out. Maybe save a Holy war for that one :S I'm sure you can do it.

    Omega is obviously your main concern

    Congratulations! But how did you make it all the way down? Did you just somehow avoid getting into any battle, or did you use Level Down on the enemies etc?

    Anyways... I guess the only really, really tough battles that are left now are Ultimecia and Omega.

    I had Quistis use Bad breath and then I used level down on all of the enemies until I had them at level one. At level one all enemies give you one experience point. I then had Quistis use degenerator to end it. (although if there were two enemies Quistis would use micro missiles on one of them a few times and then Rinoa would use card)

    I'm in Lunatic Pandora now. I beat Fujin and Raijin. They weren't too difficult. The real problem is Mobile Type 8. You can't spam limit breaks in this battle because he is guaranteed to counterattack. I don't have lionheart, so Renzokuken is pretty much useless. Rinoas Angel wing would be great, but I can use it only once and then she is dead. Of course, attacking is the least of my worries. Corona reduces my HP to one, and I need to heal quickly before he wipes me out by attacking normally or by using megiddo flame. Megiddo Flame will kill everyone unless they are in defend status and have shell on. Irvine has the most HP right now (about 800) and I am using him to defend with auto shell equipped on him.

    Strategies, as always, are welcome.

    Hmmm... then, maybe my prediction for CD 3's hardest battle was correct atleast.

    Anyways... as for strat... I don't remember much of this battle, actually but... does Mobiletype 8 counter all attacks or Limmitbreaks only? And how many of those counter-lasers can you take before you die?

    Also, what characters do you use? I guess Rinoa's invincible moon could be useful. Especially if you use Angel Wings on Rinoa's next turn which allows her to cast meteor without being killed by the counter-laser.

    He counters all attacks. It depends on what "form" he is in though. If he is about to use corona he uses homing laser twice which does about 250 damage each. I can survive that. (But that tends to a character because by then I have low HP) If I attack him in regular form he does about 700+ damage and only Irvine can survive that, and just barely.

    Also, what characters do you use? I guess Rinoa's invincible moon could be useful. Especially if you use Angel Wings on Rinoa's next turn which allows her to cast meteor without being killed by the counter-laser.
    The problem with this is that Invincible moon is not guaranteed. If, say, I get Angelo Cannon instead I'm smurfed. Also, when Rinoa casts meteor she still gets hit with a counter attack. If she is at low HP and mobile type 8 is in corona mode she dies and then the other counter attack will get sent to another person.

    Did you make a point to learn nothing but Invincible Moon?

    Yes, I did. Rinoa starts with Angelo Cannon though, and you can't get rid of it. She uses it frequently, too. (I did not learn Angelo Strike or Wishing Star, but I did learn things like Angelo search, recover, and reverse. Those shouldn't affect anything, though)

    Hmm... Would she still use Angelo Cannon as frequently if she's at a higher Crisis Level?

    Yeah, I know that her meteor gets countered, as you mentioned that earlier. What I meant was... it wouldn't affect her since she would be invincible after using Invincible Moon.

    It sounds, to me, like the key to win this battle actually could be to get invincible moon while your party is low at HP and then spam limmitbreaks like crazy. Also, maybe you should use Quistis instead of Irvine? Her Mighty Guard may be pretty useful, as well as Acid since meltdown makes Meteor do a lot more dammage.

    Also, since the effectiveness of Squall's, Zell's and Irvine's Limmitbreaks all depends on how critical their condition is, I guess the same could go for Rinoa. Like... the less HP she has left, the higher the chanses of getting a better move with Angelo.
