Tips for Earth Eater and others?

I'm fairly sure it does ignore Defense.

Never said anything about Attack Reels doing Criticals.

[Simen]

Attack Reels, if you get all 12 hits, is really great!

[TheSpoonyBard]

All Overdrives ignore the CW's special attributes. The critical thing was completely separate. Just added that in to show Armour Break is useful before using Overdrives.

[ValiantKnight]

But armor break... for all intents and purposes... be it Auron's Overdrive or regular armor break doesn't work on EE, correct?

Tidus has no problem going over to EE with Blitz Ace and giving out 13k/26k hits and ending in a 99999 shot. But at best that's 300k? I've activated a few more str + 4 spheres, althought he was already maxed at 255... and it still did the same 13/26.

Wakka's Attack Reels would be 99999x12 for over a million?

perhaps I'll just have to bite the bullet and play blitzball...

Yes, it is considered VERY bad form to suggest Zanmato. Not because it is cheating. Not because it is prohibitively expensive in the NA/Jap versions. Not because it kills everything instantly and is therefore considered cheating.

But because it costs LESS in the PAL version. And Americans will not stand while Europe gets the better end of the deal. Curses, curses I reap upon you and your children, you ill-gotten cheap Zanmato-ers! You and your accursed Ribbon; I indeed I hope you choke on that brightly coloured cloth that happens to be attached to your Armor!

And also, because knocking yourself out is fun. Have you SEEN a party die by Poison/Confusion/Berserk? Elite parties show dedication. It takes extreme button pressing skills to do that kind of stuff. Man, you gotta sit in front of a TV for 16 years before you can even attempt to hit that button hard enough. If your thumb isn't chapped, bleeding, and about to be amputated because of gangrene, that's not dedication.

Apologies to you benighted people the other side of the pond. I forgot that your Yojimbo is so inferior to ours. Truly you are Belgemine to our Yuna. Just tell us "Stop that is enough!" and we will quit bugging you!

I have indeed seen several parties die unpleasantly, but I try to learn from my mistakes, keep my nose clean and my first strike weapons handy. I have also fought seemingly endless arena battles in which I wished I had cheated and checked the bosses hps beforehand, wondering when they were going to die. Is that enough suffering for you? My thumb nails remain nicely manicured, but I think I've logged a fair number of game hours nonetheless.

Still at the end of the day its entertainment, innit? Seeing the head of an apparently invincible fiend fly off is one of life's pleasures, if not indulged in too often. And I did point out the dangers of that overindulgence.

As stated, I have no problem killing him at all.. it just merely takes 3-5 minutes to do so(ok maybe less but it seems a while with Flare).
Yojimbo is a bit too unreliable for anything continual I would think.. but I'm not sure, and I don't really have an endless supply of money yet... just 2million.

I think you're probably ok as you are then. Taking into account the lack of overkills, I doubt if using Yojimbo is going to be faster/easier in your case. Maybe more stylish though.
