FF13 Hope% Cid Raines+Menu(Recovery Shift)

Описание: Finally, a fight with Hope as the leader!

Its a doozy. The shroudless Raines fight somehow ended up being one of the hardest in this route to go fast on because of how variable the fight is and how difficult maintaining interruption is. I use Fire-Water-Fire here because I found it to be most consistent for maintaining interruption while still alternating. Fire and Water are both functionally the same speed, while Blizzard is too slow, Thunder is too fast, and Aero just outright does not interrupt outside of stagger.

Speaking of Aero, I mentioned in the first BK+M video that I avoided going past Fire on Sazh to make him better as a CPU and while it does make him more consistent, I found the amount of chain lost between Bart 1 and this fight to not make it worthwhile to skip. It honestly may still end up being faster, between the time saved on the Cryst itself and also allowing him to more consistently interrupt Raines, but for now he gets Aero.

It is basically impossible to stagger Raines before he finishes his second Offensive Shift, so the shroudless strat has two videos associated with it, one for Recovery(the faster and easier ending) and one for Defensive. This one is Recovery.
