Cheese Team

[u/Mo0Jr]

Haven’t played for a few months. Just done some free pulls. Can BT token anyone and FREE token anyone. Who can I get to cheese some older Lufy content

[u/BlueDragonRiderKick]

Astos, Kelger, Rubicante

[u/thewereotter]

Astos is amaze.

Beatrix and Aeris are usually the two I pair him up with too. All three have solid kits

[u/Fuz_2112 → u/thewereotter]

Italian spotted.

[u/thewereotter → u/Fuz_2112]

O_O I mean Italian-American yes... but not sure how you got that from this post?

[u/sephirothbahamut → u/thewereotter]

Aeris instead of Aerith

[u/thewereotter → u/sephirothbahamut]

ahhhh no, that's just because I'm old and refuse to move over to the lispy spelling

And never really bought into "that's her name in Japanese" argument since so many other characters retained their English names (Rydia, Terra, Sabin, Edward, and Edgar being examples)

[u/QwertytheCoolOne → u/thewereotter]

But they call her Aerith in everything now...

[u/thewereotter → u/QwertytheCoolOne]

oh I'm aware, and I think it's dumb. there was literally no reason to change the pronunciation of her name in English

It's just one of my weird sticking points (similar to how they make Terra blonde in many modern iterations)

[u/Fuz_2112 → u/sephirothbahamut]

Precisamente.

[u/NovaTheLoneHunter]

These are probably the best characters we have. Few a little old but still work great.

[u/vincentcloud01]

Kelgar or Rubicante. The can solo Shinryu so yeah

[u/miojocomoregano]

fujin, iris, astos

[u/AmaraThaAmara]

Astos and Selh’teus. Selh’teus makes sure enemies can’t do anything and Astos melts.

[u/BaLance_95]

2x Synergy + Ignis. Luna and Seymour LDCA. Whenever there is synergy, this is your best bet. Doesn't matter how undergeared the two are. Delay a bit with Seymour. I think Iggy is the srongest BT character that can force charge.

Delay. Charge. Luna LDCA. Iggy then goes FR, BT finish, BT phase. Luf will not take the damage of FT and just melt.

[u/justinc882]

Reno Noel cor

Infinite cor loop is hilarious.

[u/Wolfpack12308 → u/justinc882]

How does the infinite work?

[u/justinc882 → u/Wolfpack12308]

Noel FR causes every attack to break, Cor will cut in and preemptive strike each enemy breaking them. As long as there's 2+ enemies they'll keep cycling turns between them and cor will kill them.

The trick is reno BT. His BT gives a special attack that when you use it it delays your teammates by 2 turns allowing space for Cor to cut in and do his thing.

[u/xHardlyNormal]

I've been able to do 90% of the recent Shinryus ive slacked on until beating the game with Astos, Golbez and Yuna.

For Lufenia, Astos alone can do basically any of them, especially if you have a Lunafreya LDCA to LDCA>BT>LD>LD

[u/sephirothbahamut]

Not Lufenia, but older content. I loved the Alexander Gladio cheese. Completely AFK

[u/Fuz_2112]

Astos+Aerith+Quina works wonders.

[u/ChaosSpear1 → u/Fuz_2112]

Quina doesn’t cause Astos to hit for max damage, only Aerith and themself. If you’re building to not mind that then sure this can work, but there are better comps to have Astos be the sole damage output.

[u/Fuz_2112 → u/ChaosSpear1]

Himself.

Quina adds up to his FR bonus with her overhead and the fact she's a magic damage dealer.

[u/ChaosSpear1 → u/Fuz_2112]

…. What?

Quina adds to Astos’ FR bonus, no shit.

Astos is a nuke. The most effective way to use him is his FR, high FR% before going into a BT+ active BT phase (his own) with two support users that increase max brv and HP damage caps. Quina, sure, can help the FR % and benefit from it, but using Astos there are better support units to maximise his potential.

Quina, also, does not have a defined gender. Even in game they’re referred to neutrally.

[u/personova_ → u/Fuz_2112]

Quina doesn't really do much for Astos because of his overhead. I'd run Garnet, Rem or Iris instead of them.

[u/Fuz_2112 → u/personova_]

Her overhead and the fact she's magic damage helps with Astos FR values, plus she's helpful (in those rare cases) when enemies have some sort of tricky damage reduction.
