FF7EC Arch Azul Escalation Challenge Solo (Tifa, Aerith, Red) Lv. 25.

Описание: Instead of using the new Vincent feature banner physical wind weapon, I decide to skip pulling the banner and use Tifa's physical wind weapon and costume instead as the main DPS. To aid her in the battle, I pair her up with Aerith and Red. This battle is played in auto mode, with manual control mostly for healing and making sure PDEF is at +3.

Tifa's main weapon is the Class President's Bracelet at OB10, which does 1105% physical wind damage with branding plus increasing everyone's physical attack damage dealt. Her offhand weapon is the Demon's Impetus for the 35% physical damage bonus for herself. She is equipped with 2 refined aerora materias, each with 11.5% wind potential, and another normal aerora materia with 11.2% wind potential. Her sub equipment is for maximizing her wind potential and physical ability potential.

Aerith's job is to increase physical defense using Lightning's Rod, and heal with either Bahamut Rod or just the cura materia. She also helps out during the sigil phase with the wind circle sigil. Her sub equipment increases the magical and physical defense and also boost physical attack for all.

Red increases the wind damage for everyone, and reduces wind resist on the boss. He also helps out during the sigil phase with both circle and triangle sigils. His sub equipment boosts PATK and ATK for all allies.

This boss hits hard, and sometimes I need to rely on reprieve if it hits either Tifa or Aerith. Red has enough HP to survive the initial big hit at the beginning of the battle. Right at the beginning he will reduce the PDEF of the entire team to -5, and it is very important to have Aerith bring up PDEF back to at least +1 (+3 to be safe).

For Tifa, I make sure she has haste applied for most of the battle with her ultimate weapon. Otherwise she is totally controlled by the computer the rest of the time. I control Aerith most of the time, especially when healing is needed. During the sigil phase I use her Breath of the Earth and Red's Stardust Ray together to heal everyone back to full health and to cancel the physical defense down inflicted by the boss attack. Right after that I use Lightning's Rod to increase PDEF back to +3.

I also activate overspeed for both Aerith and Red during the sigil phase to make sure all the triangle sigils are eliminated before the first checkpoint of the sigil phase timing gauge is reached. Once the boss is stunned, I focus on getting rid of Armor Resilience. The summon is not used until the boss armor is shattered. Otherwise I'd only do minimal damage. Once the boss is stunned again, it will have reduced physical and magical defense. This is the time to use Odin for the final kill.
