Final Fantasy VII - Materia Combinations

ファイナルファンタジーVII-マテリアの組み合わせ

0:04 Limit Break + Berserk (enemy not inmune to berserk)
1:19 Limit Break + Berserk (enemy inmune to berserk & confusion)
The auto cast of Berserk will target an enemy by default. To cast it on ourself we need the enemy to have Reflect, but it won't work if the enemy is immune to Berserk: the immunity will prevent it before Reflect's triggered. In this case, we need to cast Confus first, so it'll be reflected on ourself then, being confused, we'll cast Berserk directly on ourself.
It won't work if the enemy is also immune to Confusion. In this case, we can still cast Tornado instead of Confus: since it tries to deal damage, Reflect will work despite the immunity to Confusion.

3:28 100% Status Infliction
Added Effect can be paired with Poison (Poison), Seal (Sleep, Silence), Mystify (Confusion, Berserk), Transform (Frog, Small), Time (Slow, Stop), Destruct (Death), Contain (Confusion, Stop, Petrify), Choco/Mog (Stop), Odin (Death) and Hades (Sleep, Poison, Confusion, Silence, Frog, Small).
⌭ Equip on Weapon to get 19% chance to Inflict Status.
⌭ Equip on Armor to get Status Immunity.
The level of the paired Materia does not matter, you will gain all statuses that Materia can grant.

Flash inflicts 'Death' with 100% chance. The status chance of Flash overrides the status chance from any Added Effect, that means you will have 100% chance to inflict any status effect (as long as the enemy is not immune to said status).

4:36 Death Absorption + Status Ailments removal
Elemental can be paired with all Materia except Support Materia (see below).
⌭ Equip on Weapon to attack with Element.
⌭ Equip on Armor to Defend against Element (Lv1 halves / Lv2 nullifies / Lv3-Lv4 absorbs attacks).
There are other alternatives to absorb elemental damage like equipping specific armor or accessories but those are more limited.
✴ Fire is gained from Fire, Ifrit, Phoenix
✴ Ice is gained from Ice, Shiva
✴ Lightning is gained from Lightning, Ramuh
✴ Earth is gained from Earth, Titan
✴ Poison is gained from Poison
✴ Gravity is gained from Gravity
✴ Water is gained from Leviathan
✴ Wind is gained from Choco/Mog, Typhon
✴ Holy is gained from Alexander
✴ Hidden is gained from any non-Support Materia not listed above

Absorbing an attack means:
• Damage / Cure are swapped.
• Status Infliction / Removal are swapped.
• Death / Revive are swapped. Reviving moves cause 'Death'. Death is a special status which is replaced by Recovery (HP & MP).

5:49 Quadra Gain Glitch
Auto Mimes general rules
• The auto actions are first in the order of the equipped Materias.
• The auto mimes look to what they will copy: the previous trigger if there's any, or the action that happened before the combo elsewise.
• The auto mimes are performed after the other auto actions.

Quadra-gain glitch
• If the second mime of a chain was supposed to mime a quadra action, then the first one will be quadra too; if it was supposed to mime a non-quadra action, that actions will gain quadra.
• And since that action gets a free quadra effect, then you can apply it to:
✶ KotR, E. Skills and Commands, despite they're incompatible when paired directly. Note: Command materias like Slash-All, Double Cut, Steal, Sense, Throw, Morph, Deathblow & Manipulate will have their extra casts animations skipped, just the the 1st one is visible.
✶ Limits, which can have animation glitches.
✶ Items, but only the 1st one is visible, the extra ones have their animation skipped.

7:24 14 KotR in a row
Before starting to record this fight i used Lunar Curtain (MBarrier halves magical damage) and Sadness (reduces physical and magical damage by 30%) on Emerald Weapon. By reducing the damage it has been possible to show you the 14 casts of KotR.

Summary
• Tifa's turn
‣ W-Summon: 2× (KotR + Steal + MP Turbo + MP Absorb)
➼ Emerald attacks Red XIII
• Red XIII counters
‣ free mime: 2× (KotR + Steal + MP Turbo's boost + MP Absorb) for 0MP
‣ 6 mime: 2× (KotR) for 3000MP
total = 14 KotR

Note: This combo can deal up to 1,819,818 damage (14 * 13 * 9999).

11:03 322 hits in a row (2.5M damage)
Vincent received just 1 point of damage because his Defense is at 255, Tifa and Cloud used on him Dragon Force (510 Def in battle), he was wearing Protect Ring that grants Barrier (halves physical damage) and MBarrier statuses, he had Sadness (30% less damage from physical and magical attacks), was in back row (halves physical damage) and used 'Defend' command (halves physical damage).

Summary
• Tifa's turn
‣ W-Magic: 2x (Comet2 x8 + Added Cut) = 66 hits
➼ Emerald attacks, Vincent counters
‣ free mime: 2× (Comet2 x8) = 64 hits
‣ 4 mime: 2× (Comet2 x6) = 192 hits
‣ 2× Added Cut = 2 hits
‣ auto-attacks from All lucky 7s = 64 hits
‣ total = 322 hits // 322 * 7777 = 2,504,194 damage

Note: I had to edit Emerald Weapon's HP, otherwise it would have been impossible to show you the full combo.
