[FF7 Rebirth] To Be a Hero in

Faster run with a slightly different build    • [FF7 Rebirth] To Be a Hero in 5:35  

Build at the end of the video and in the comments.

0:00 Titan
ATB Boost, Prime Mode, Sonic Boom. Then Strong attacks, parry/counterfire, Aeroga to break Earthen Aegis. Another Aeroga with Cloud + either Aerora with Sephiroth (if he has enough ATB) or light attacks with Cloud to stagger. Note that it must be Cloud who delivers the staggering blow or he will not benefit from the ATB Stagger Materia. One last Aeroga will kill him.

0:54 Ogre Rider
ATB Boost, Prime Mode, Sonic Boom. Strong attacks, parries, counterfire stomps. Three Thundaga will kill it. If you counterfire a few times you can cast Thundaga + Blizzaga + Blizzara (with Sephiroth) for a faster kill.

1:45 Phoenix
Prime Mode then Plasma Discharge to kill the Flan. Cloud absorbs all attacks except Blazing Onrush (block it). It seems that following Phoenix around makes it attack faster, but maybe I am wrong. Kill the Bomb and the Grandhorn with Thundara (Cloud must be in Berserk 1 or 2) and cast Blizzaga with Sephiroth at the same time. Attack with Cloud to stagger, then cast Thundaga twice (use ATB Boost).

3:22 Sea Dragon
Prime Mode, two attacks, parry, strong attacks, Thundaga, strong attacks, counterfire Hurricane, ATB Boost, Thundaga. It's always like this, super easy.

3:59 Kujata
Prime Mode, dodge to cancel animation, then parry/dodge its first attack. Do short combos, parry/dodge, buff Cloud with Plasma Discharge and Sonic Boom, and try to land a Thundaga before Kujata summons the first "elemental".
If the elemental is fire or ice: let Kujata take it then stop it with Thundaga so it doesn't take the second. If it's lightning: let Kujata take the second as well (ice or fire).
In the first scenario (as in the video) you need two opposite -aga (Firaga in the video) to pressure Kujata, and one Thundaga + attacks to stagger.
In the second scenario you'll cast two Aeroga to pressure and one opposite -aga to stagger. Be careful because Cloud cannot absorb lightning.
In both scenarios, time -aga spells such that: Cloud casts the first, then Sephiroth, then Cloud attacks, uses ATB Boost, and finally casts the third.
If Kujata gets both the ice and fire elementals you cannot pressure.

5:35 Jabberwock
ATB Boost, Prime Mode, Sonic Boom, then parry/counterfire its attacks. You can counterfire Lithic Curse, breath attacks, and stomps. Just cast Fira/Firaga with both Cloud and Sephiroth whenever you can. Thundaga also destroys its Gorgon Shield (you may prefer it to Firaga because Cloud casts it immediately thanks to the Swiftcast Materia).

6:26 Alexander
Prime Mode, strong attacks for Berserk 2, and Sonic Boom. Counterfire Earth Tremor and Tracking Beam if needed. Be sure to have full ATB and cast two Thundara to cripple both arms (if you wait before crippling the second, Alexander may teleport). When Alexander is pressured: attack, Thundara, fill ATB, Thundara, ATB Boost, Thundaga.
DO NOT cast Thundaga first or Alexander will regenerate its arms.

7:17 King Zu
ATB Boost, Prime Mode, Sonic Boom, then ignore the wings and just attack the main body. It will die with two Thundaga without having time to use Swan Song.

8:01 Bahamut Arisen
Prime Mode, dodge to cancel the animation, then parry its kicks. Counterfire its magic attacks a few times to pressure (Nova Bomb, Flame Breath, Thruster Spin, Vulcan Onslaught). Its third attack is ALMOST always Crush Grip: interrupt it with Thundaga or dodge it.
Use Sonic Boom and Plasma Discharge after a parry/counterfire. Cast Thundaga/Thundara (with Sephiroth as well) when Bahamut is pressured. After a while it will start charging.
If Bahamut is not pressured anymore, cripple its wings with Thundara. Otherwise cast Thundaga on the main body. After it transforms you can parry in Prime Mode all its attacks (Galewind Slash, Whirlwind Slash, Soaring Slash). A few parries and Thundara/Thundaga will stagger.

9:33 Odin
Punisher Mode to parry Soaring Spear or Charge, then Prime Mode, Plasma Discharge, and Sonic Boom. Attack and parry, but be careful of Helmcleaver and Scintillating Spear.
If not dodged, these attacks put red/pink "handcuffs" and Odin will counter any ATB command with Reprise (for the next 10 seconds or until staggered), even if you perfect parry them. Usually he does them right after Sleipnir's Furor.
Keep attacking (do short combos and be ready to parry) and casting Thundaga until you stagger him. You should be able to kill him while staggered or shortly after.
If the fight drags on and he uses Temporal Imprisonment, use Cloud's limit to be immune.
