Tips on how to use and play as Tifa properly?
Tifa Thread
Her feint game is strong, and will net you HP attacks pretty consistently against AI and humans. Don't bother with magic. It's a meme, and never manages to sync with items well. You should watch out for solid Exdeath counters (usually can't predict feints well), as well characters with good AoE, and Kefka magic spam.
You'll have to check YT for Assist combos.
Haste
is that wotv or what
Easy peasy
What?
war of the visions
What's the best way to stagger?
Regular attack combos or one of her skills?
Overpower to put them into their pressured state (also interrupts a lot of enemy attacks) focused strike to build pressure
Depends on the enemy. Best way is usually 2 RAVs and a COM going nuts, possibly after a Sap&Salve combo.
>that Focused Strike cancellation
Holy fuck that's brilliant.
i see from miles away whats gonna be the shitpost about
This is not a Tifa thread, this is a based thread!
>Parry
You can move faster by spamming it instead of running, useful in some situations and very good to quickly dodge or reposition her in a more favorable or safe spot. You can also use parry to cancel Unbridled Strength's animation, basic attacks and a few abilities such as Focused strike which has a huge animation lock after the hit. Pic related, maximizing the pressure time, using Chi Trap and basic attacks wouldn't have been enough to stagger him there. You can also use Deadly Dodge instead but it's slower and not that useful for a Materia slot
>Haste/Refocus
Try it for yourself, it's broken since she's very good at building ATB
>ATB Master
*ATB Monster
>ATB Assist
Easy way to fill up your party members ATB
>ATB Stagger
Not required but it can help, it depends on what you're running
do your part to not give them anything to work with.
you forgot skill master
no other character in the game is so skill dependant as tifa
>ATB Master
Skill Master, my bad
>Prayer
Again, depends on your play style, Tifa can build up ATB pretty fast, just like Barret so it's good on her
>Luck Up Materias
Higher DPS, pretty much guarantees critical hits with Purple Pain but still very useful and mostly reliable on other weapons like Metal Knuckles
>Elemental and Fire/Wind/Ice/Lightning
Free damage
>Cloud just chillin in his dress
For accessories and armor
>Fury Ring
Take more damage, do more damage. It's a high risk high reward accessory
>Götterdämmerung
Instant Refocus, Dolphin Blow or Somerault for the rest of the fight
It's broken but you she won't get the additional damage from Fury Ring
Give her a Chain Bangle as she dies pretty fast, especially with if she has a Fury Ring
I feel like I've been playing this game wrong the whole time...anyone else?
I got the game figured out since the demo because i took my time to understand the mechanics out of pure excitement. Then it was just polish everything during my playthrough. I still got my ass kicked multiple times, but i was always careful and had a plan rather than just spam square.
Why is she so perfect?
Remember when Tifa fags would seethe every time an Aerith thread would be up?
kill yourself.
What about for pure damage dealing like against Behemoth? He doesn't have a stagger bar.
for behemoth you are much better using ATB for unbridled str and spam triangle attacks
that one is kawai
Careful, your insecurity is showing.
Best scene in the remake
the absolute state of clerikeks
You are not wrong. It was cute as fuck, both Tifa and Cloud's reaction.
it was heartwarming to see Cloud being all over her instead of being a stoic faggot
Remake Cloud is a 10/10 husbando
For weapons
>Leather Gloves
An all around balanced pair of gloves, better self healing when low HP, +15 speed, 50% chance of getting Omnistrike at the start of each battle
>Metal Knuckles
Nice 10% ATB Charge rate and +7 speed, best weapon for her to maximize her physical damage but only 30% chance of having Omnistrike already available at the start of each Battle
>Feathered Gloves
My personal favorite weapons to use on her, +28 speed, +10% ATB Charge rate, 70% chance of starting each battle with Omnistrike up. Very good for mixed builds, I like running double Magic Up and Luck Up Materias with these gloves
>Purple Pain
Good for critical hit builds, Reprieve, 70% chance of getting Omnistrike, +11 speed, higher critical rate when low hp, higher critical damage... It's not bad but Metal Knuckles is a better choice when it comes to DPS
>Mythril Claws
Terrible weapons if you ask me, only give them to Tifa if you want to use her as a support character
>Sonic Strikers
Same as Mythril Claws, don't bother unless you somehow want to play her as a magic caster or support character
Tifa looks fantastic in that scene while Cloud goes full uncanny valley
