    Ultimecia will be a push over, it's just going to be the randomisation of characters that'll do it

    Hardly. If even Adel was as tough as she was, Ultimecia will most likely be a nightmare.

    Remember his main damage dealer was unavaliable when he fought Adel.

    Refining the bahamut card and auto shell on everyone will help prevail. Predicting when shockwave pulsar will strike is the key to surviving as it will probabley wipe him out without an invincibility item

    True. But even with Rinoa in your party, Ultimecia can take far more than Adel. And Rinoa, while being an unmatched dammage dealer, can't be controlled during Angel Wings. Also... what if Griever uses that "remove spell" move on Rinoa? Then her Angel Wings will be useless.

    And that's assuming that I actually have Rinoa when the battle starts.

    Well, I always kill off my characters until I get the team I normally use. Does that take too much time in this challenge though?

    It'll waste a few turns, but it won't be a huge problem. I want those extra characters there to absorb damage, though.

    Hey, Nik! I just remembered something. It would be a good idea to junction healing and support spells to Rinoa as well. She won't use healing or support spells during Angel Wings, so she will still only cast meteor. However... if Greiver uses that "remove spell" move, there's a chanse a healing or support spell will be removed instead of meteor.

    and even if she removes meteor, there are a few other spells she can use too. Like Ultima, holy and flare.

    my hat goes off to you nik for beating Omega. Don't forget that you can acquire some more hero drinks/wars by re-winning the rare cards again. Now go and whoop Ultimecia for yourself, for EoFF, and most especially for ME!

    Meteor is far more useful, though.

    I probably should have done this earlier. I'm fighting Ultimecia right now. I've just beaten Greiver with my starting party of Squall, Quistis, and Selphie. At the moment, Quistis, Selphie, Squall, and Rinoa all have auto shell equipped. It's been useful. I also found that holy stones are incredibly effective against Griever (1600+ damage).

    I do have to use a hero in order to survive shockwave pulsar. It's impossible otherwise. In defend status with shell it still does over 1,600 damage. Far more than I can take. Luckily, I had over 50 heros left from the battle with Omega. I use a hero on squall and let shockwave pulsar kill everyone else, then I have Squall use the Revive ability.

    I'm worried about that planet attack right now. I don't know if I'll be able to take it or not.

    edit: [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img], I'm dead. I had no idea that they could use Quake on me.

    Hey nik, what levels are your characters at? And how many HP do the final bosses have at those levels?

    My characters are at levels 9-16. Zell and Quistis are at level 9. Selphie, Rinoa, and Squall are at level 12, and Irvine is at level 16. I do not know how much HP the final boss has at those levels, though.

    I'm seriously having trouble with the third fight in this battle. Ultimecia has more than one attack that can completely wipe me out in one hit. Quake can be remedied (but only with luck), Ultima can not. I also think her planet attack will kill me in one hit as well. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I will need one or two people with shell and in defend status for the entire battle. Hopefully at that point I will have Rinoa in my party and she can fire away with meteor. I may need to revise my junctioning to accomplish this, though.

    Edit: I've just knocked off the lower half of Grievers body, effectively eliminating the "planet attack" threat. I'm almost there. I'm this close to beating Ultimecia and finishing this challenge. I'd better not die now.

    Double Edit: My god I'm getting owned...

    Triple Edit: smurf. All of my characters have been "absorbed" and now all I have left is Rinoa. I smell a game over.

    Quadruple Edit: Go Phoenix!!

    Quintuple(??) Edit: Angelo Reverse!!

    Septuple Edit: Game over.
