FFVII - Level 7 Tifa vs Diamond Weapon (No Materia)

Armor: Fire Armlet
Accessory: Touph Ring

Once again, I have to remove IE and NA, but that doesn't make this battle easy. No, this battle is actually very hard and if you don't have t3h üb3rZkillZ like me, you will die fast and it will hurt. Oh yeah, and it requires some luck too, but that was expected, wasn't it?

The main problem with this battle is to survive the foot stamp attack. I knew I would almost be able to survive it, so I thought I could equip some strong armor to reduce the damage enough, but then I found out that it was magical. That's a problem because of the "Magic Defense Glitch", which is easily one of the most horrible glitches in the game. An armor's MDef isn't added to the character's Spirit stat, so if you want higher magic defense, the armors won't help you at all. Like I said, horrible glitch.

Thankfully, there are accessories that boost Spirit. You get the highest boost from the Touph Ring, which adds a total of 50 points, increasing Tifa's Spirit from 17 to 67. That oughta do some difference, eh? Well, yeah, but it's not enough. There's only one more thing you can do to boost stats (without materia, that is) and that's using some Hero Drinks. They increase base Atk, Matk, Def and Mdef with 30%, up to a total of 100%. To be able to survive foot stamp, I needed to use two.

Of course, if you want to use two Hero Drinks, you kinda want Diamond Weapon not to use foot stamp in the meantime. That's not all, though. You also need MBarrier to survive it. So, you have to hope he uses the fire ball attack three times in a row (or two if you get a turn before him), which doesn't seem to happen very often. However, it's not 100% safe with two Hero Drinks. As you can see, a foot stamp reduced Tifa's HP to 1 at one point. Therefore, it is adviced that you use three.

The first priority is to do something about his brutal dexterity. I had to turn the battle speed up enough for him to only get one turn between my turns in the beginning, but every now and then, he will get two. That's done by throwing a good old Spider Web at him. Once all this is done, you can start tossing Dragon Scales at him. 8 inch cannons don't work because of his immunity to physical attacks.

There is one more problem, though. The MBarrier doesn't last forever. In fact, it only last for like 7 or 8 turns on this battle speed, so you have to use new Lunar Curtains several times if you want to live through the battle. If the MBarrier doesn't run out just after he attacks, you need to hope for some luck. I was very lucky at one point in the battle, when he used the fire ball attack two times in a row.

I'll believe this is real when you can explain to me why Cloud has 345 HP at that point in the game.

[GarlandTheGreat]

@dethcreature88 Cloud has 345 HP at that point in the game because he's on level 8, and 345 HP is within the range of how much HP you can have on level 8.

The most boring ff7 video on YouTube?

[GarlandTheGreat]

@joc2kent No, I have far more boring videos than this.

[GarlandTheGreat]

@TheUFCMMA After being confronted with such undisputable arguments, I see no other option than to remove all my videos and leave Youtube forever. It was fun while it lasted.

[DjPulseK]

Did you keep tifa dead throughout the game? That's really the only way I can think of how you got to disc 2 with lv.8 Tifa lol.

[UchihaFaer1]

Hard to believe

I don't remember FF7 very good now

but i don't think it's possible for cloud to have only 345hp and yuffie having 3127

though it's nice to know video(but too damn long u should've cut the repeated scenes)

[DiDolRuChagi]

@LolRoflLamoHaa You fight diamond before you fly over and parachute back into Midgar to take out Shinra!

[LolRoflLamoHaa]

i dont remember fighting diamond weapon, can someone refresh my memory? when do you fight him?

[mikemaz00]

oh ok that means i aint far enough yet ok nvm then but where exacly do u fight him?



[Waffersforever]

@mikemaz00 It's story related. Haven't you played FFVII before?

[mikemaz00]

how do u find diamond

[xxkiruxx]

@gfire0 are you sure about that? What if you keep Tifa and Cloud dead in your active party throughout the game? Because dead party members do not gain experience if they are dead. Still think it's impossible?

[gfire0]

Fake. its impossible to have cloud be lvl 8 by that point in the game

@PG1337ify Actually, I've never "whacked off" in my life. And watching three or four animes doesn't exactly make me an "anime nerd." And quite frankly, I'd rather be a nerdy, video game-playing, anime-watching virgin than an uneducated troll who's so pathetic that their life is devoted to trying to make people feel like shit, like you are. No offense.
