Game:Sephiroth: Difference between revisions

Zé Serrote's attacks are quite powerful, but many of them can be negated using the invincibility frames of [[Leaf Bracer]] or Sora's Special Attacks. [[Sonic Blade]] and [[Strike Raid]] are most reliable for this, and Strike Raid is particularly good at hitting Sephiroth from a distance; in ''Final Mix'', however, Sonic Blade only has invincibility frames through the first thrust. In order to provide for maximum defense and restoration, [[Second Chance]], [[Dodge Roll]], [[Superglide]], at least one [[MP Rage]], and in ''Final Mix'', [[Leaf Bracer]] should be equipped. While [[Guard]] can be used against several of Sephiroth's techniques, it is not as reliable for defense as using a Special Attack due to Sephiroth's Rapid Mow Down and Stepping Mow Down, which telegraph similarly but require different timing to successfully block. [[Curaga]] and [[Aeroga]] should be set as shortcuts, as well as several [[Elixir]]s or [[Hi-Potion]]s in order to recover from Heartless Angel. Sora should equip a Keyblade that boosts his MP and magic, such as [[Ultima Weapon]] or [[Diamond Dust]], as well as armor that boosts his HP, defense, and resistance to the Dark element, such as [[Crystal Crown]], [[Gaia Bangle]], or [[Omega Arts]]. Sephiroth's blockable techniques all have maximum recoil, so dodging or negating them is preferable to blocking unless Sora is equipped with the Ultima Weapon or [[Divine Rose]]. Sora should focus on keeping his MP up so that he can quickly heal whenever his HP gets low, and performing a Special Attack to deal damage if he has excess MP. In ''Final Mix'' and ''HD 1.5 ReMIX'', [[Hurricane Blast]], [[Slapshot]], and [[Combo Master]] are useful for dealing large amounts of damage to Sephiroth, although they do not provide the invincibility frames of a Special Attack.
