Issues: Strategy for Round 25

Tifa is a boss in Kingdom Hearts II, found in the Hades Paradox Cup.

Strategy[edit]

Tifa is encountered three times in the Hades Paradox Cup. The first time in Round 10 with Yuffie, the second in Round 25 with Cloud, the third in Round 49 with Cloud, Yuffie and Leon.

Round 10[edit]

Tifa's battle style is very direct, she always rushes Sora, making it difficult to block her attacks. Yuffie will constantly teleport around hurling shuriken at Sora, but Donald and Goofy are present making the battle easier. Be certain to use Final Form during this battle.

Yuffie will be an annoyance as she will constantly interrupt Sora's attacks on Tifa. Try to get behind Tifa and avoid staying in front of her. She can use her Final Heaven attack, which deals major damage, as a combo finisher whenever she chooses. Try to focus on Tifa as she is the stronger and more dangerous of the two, but watch out for Yuffie.

When Tifa comes up close and starts her punching combo, use Reflega immediately or Sora will suffer major damage. Tifa is weak against Reflega so be sure to use it as much as possible. If interrupted while doing this Glide or run away, because if Tifa shouts "Here we go!" or "Don't say I didn't warn you!", she will jump high in the air and yell "Final Heaven!" which will launch several explosions in front of her. This attack can cause major damage and cannot be stopped.

Round 25[edit]

The second time around, Tifa is with Cloud.

Round 49[edit]

Equip all of the following abilities:

Retaliating Slash
Explosion
Aerial Finish
LV3 Glide
LV3 Aerial Dodge
LV2+ High Jump
Scan
Reaction Boost
Combination Boost
Leaf Bracer
Magic Lock-On
Blizzard Boost
Thunder Boost
MP Rage
MP Haste
Second Chance
Once More
Defender
Berserk Charge

Equip the Ultima Weapon Keyblade for MP Hastega. Also equip any accessories that will increase Sora's Defense and Magic stats. For the shortcuts, it's recommended to have Curaga, Thundaga, Blizzaga, and Reflega.

This battle is against Tifa along with Leon, Cloud, Yuffie. This battle can be very difficult. Tifa can cause massive damage with close and mid-ranged attacks. Cloud can't hit Sora from long range, but he's fast enough that it hardly matters. Leon can shoot fireballs, but they can be dodged fairly easily. Yuffie can teleport and enhance her shuriken with magic, and also can use it in a huge area attack.

Jumping and Aerial Dodging as high as Sora can before gliding away are necessary for survival. For offense, Thundaga should be used whenever possible.

It's recommended to defeat Cloud and Yuffie first they are able to cross the battlefield faster than anyone else. Don't worry about attacking anyone else, but keep an eye out for their attacks—Cloud and Tifa in particular are very dangerous, and so is Leon when he activates Blasting Zone.

Whenever needed, heal with Curaga and run away until the MP Charge has finished, at which point continue using Thundaga.

After defeating Yuffie, begin attacking Cloud. Cloud's strongest attack is Omnislash—he'll start crackling with blue electricity, and then start moving much faster than normal. When he starts this move, just repeatedly use Aerial Dodge and Glide to run away until he slams his sword back into the ground, signaling the moves end. From there, continue attacking him with Thundaga.

When Cloud is defeated, focus on Tifa. Mostly, she'll just use martial arts-style attacks, but some of them like Water Kick have range to them. If the pair starts swarming Sora, go ahead and use Reflega for defense. Start using Keyblade combos now, since Sora is more likely to survive more than just a couple of hits.

When Tifa falls, heal and use Berserk Charge on Leon, hitting him as much as possible until Sora finishes recharging MP and he can deal the finisher. Then use Trinity Limit to land a few more hits on them and bring Sora back to Berserk Charge. Repeat this until the battle ends.

 ==Strategy==
-You will encounter Miss Lockheart three times in the [[Hades Paradox Cup]]. The first time with Yuffie, the second with Cloud, the third with three other Bruisers from Final Fantasy. Tifa's battle style is very direct: she always rushes you, never giving you a moment to breathe. She will get up to you and try and force you to block her fist with your face. The fact that Yuffie is teleporting around hurling shuriken at you like a demented fly doesn't help either. But you also have Donald and Goofy so they can be helpful. You have the luxury of Final Form here, so use it! Yuffie seems to be more annoying here than she is in Round 49, because she'll interrupt you when you're trying to fight Tifa. Try to bait Tifa into attacking you, and do whatever you can to get behind her, but do not stay out in front. Final Heaven HURTS, and she can use it as a combo finisher whenever she wants. Let her spend her energy and punish her when she's through, but watch out for Yuffie. Of course, if you enter this round with enough Drive Gauge to go into Final Form, then go nuts on the both of them.
+Tifa is encountered three times in the [[Hades Paradox Cup]]. The first time in Round 10 with [[Yuffie]], the second in Round 25 with [[Cloud]], the third in Round 49 with Cloud, Yuffie and Leon.
-When Tifa comes up close and starts her punch combo, if you don't hit up Reflega immediately, you're gonna pay for it. Tifa is VERY weak against Reflega, and mashing it repeatedly will chip her health away. However if you are interrupted in Reflegapalooza by Yuffie or in any other way, Glide, Run or Swim away immediately, as with a cry of "Here we go!" or "Don't say I didn't warn you!" she will jump high in the air (you can't stop her) and yell "Final Heaven!" which will launch several explosions in front of her, and all of them are dying to meet Sora. The second time around, Tifa is with Cloud, Leon and Yuffie, which makes this even harder. Reflega is still your main weapon of choice for her in this round BUT NEVER stay in one place.
-If you remain stationary in round 49 for even one second, either Yuffie will get you, Leon will shoot at you, or Cloud will try and cut you in half. A good strategy is to glide away from Tifa and use Thundaga, but only two or three strikes, then you must, must, must get moving again or one of the other three will get you, and they all hit like freight trains. Tifa should be defeated without much bother if you use Reflega and Thundaga together, but watch out for the others, cause (unfortunately) she doesn't fight alone.
-===Hades Paradox Cup: Round 49===
-First things first: equip ALL of the following abilities. If you don’t have ‘em yet, then get them. NOW.
-* Retaliating Slash
-* Explosion
-* Aerial Finish
-* LV3 Glide
-* LV3 Aerial Dodge
-* LV2+ High Jump
-* Scan (not really needed, but it really, REALLY HELPS)
-* Reaction Boost (I don’t remember if there are any Reaction Commands for this battle, but you should always have this one active anyway)
-* Combination Boost (so that your Trinity Limit does more damage)
-* Leaf Bracer (might not seem like much, but trust me—you NEED this)
-* Magic Lock-On (just making sure you don’t waste your MP)
-* Blizzard Boost
-* Thunder Boost
-* MP Rage
-* MP Haste
-* Second Chance
-* Once More (YOU SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE THESE TWO!!!!!)
-* Defender (every little bit helps)
-* Berserk Charge (just for the end)
-You have all that, right? Good. Equip the [[Ultima Weapon]] [[Keyblade]] ([[Fenrir]] might be stronger, but it doesn’t matter much here) for MP Hastega. Then, equip any accessories you can that will increase your Defense and Magic stats.
-Now, when we actually get to the fight, you’ll have to fight [[Leon (Enemy)|Leon]], [[Cloud (Enemy)|Cloud]], [[Yuffie (Enemy)|Yuffie]], and Tifa ALL AT THE SAME TIME. As you can probably tell, this ''won’t;'' be a pleasant experience.
-The main strategy here can be summed up as follows: run, heal, use magic, heal again, run, run some more, and then repeat.
+===Round 10===
+Tifa's battle style is very direct, she always rushes Sora, making it difficult to block her attacks. Yuffie will constantly teleport around hurling shuriken at Sora, but Donald and Goofy are present making the battle easier. Be certain to use Final Form during this battle.
-Now for details: Cloud can’t hit you from long range, but he’s fast enough that it hardly matters. Leon (as I remember it) can shoot fireballs at you, but you can dodge these without too much hassle. Yuffie can teleport and enhance her shuriken with magic, and also can use it in a huge area attack. Tifa herself, of course, can hit like a Darkside on steroids, and she has mid-ranged attacks to go with it.
+Yuffie will be an annoyance as she will constantly interrupt Sora's attacks on Tifa. Try to get behind Tifa and avoid staying in front of her. She can use her Final Heaven attack, which deals major damage, as a combo finisher whenever she chooses. Try to focus on Tifa as she is the stronger and more dangerous of the two, but watch out for Yuffie.
-That’s why such a fair part of the plan here is running away. Or, to be specific, jumping and Aerial Dodging as high as you can before you glide away (LV3 Glide is necessary so you can stay off the ground and move fast enough to stand a good chance at survival).
+When Tifa comes up close and starts her punching combo, use Reflega immediately or Sora will suffer major damage. Tifa is weak against Reflega so be sure to use it as much as possible. If interrupted while doing this Glide or run away, because if Tifa shouts "Here we go!" or "Don't say I didn't warn you!", she will jump high in the air and yell "Final Heaven!" which will launch several explosions in front of her. This attack can cause major damage and cannot be stopped.
-Oh, and for the shortcut, you should have '''Curaga''', '''Thundaga''', '''Blizzaga''', ('''Firaga''' doesn’t work well here), and '''Reflega'''. ({{Button|c}} for Curaga, {{Button|t}} for Blizzaga, {{Button|s}} for Thundaga, and {{Button|x}} for Reflega were used.)
+===Round 25===
+The second time around, Tifa is with Cloud.
-For offense, you’ll mainly need to spam '''Thundaga''' whenever you get a chance. You don’t really need to focus on any one of them in particular, but since Cloud and Yuffie are able to cross the “battlefield” faster than anyone else, it’s recommended that you take them out first. Of course, knocking out ANY of them is wonderful, but those two are the biggest pains in the butt.
+===Round 49===
+Equip all of the following abilities:
+*Retaliating Slash
+*Explosion
+*Aerial Finish
+*LV3 Glide
+*LV3 Aerial Dodge
+*LV2+ High Jump
+*Scan
+*Reaction Boost
+*Combination Boost
+*Leaf Bracer
+*Magic Lock-On
+*Blizzard Boost
+*Thunder Boost
+*MP Rage
+*MP Haste
+*Second Chance
+*Once More
+*Defender
+*Berserk Charge
-For the sake of simplicity, let us suppose that you go after Yuffie first, since she can teleport.
+Equip the [[Ultima Weapon]] [[Keyblade]] for MP Hastega. Also equip any accessories that will increase Sora's Defense and Magic stats. For the shortcuts, it's recommended to have Curaga, Thundaga, Blizzaga, and '''Reflega'''.
-Don’t worry about attacking anyone else, but keep an eye out for their attacks—Cloud and Tifa in particular are positively BRUTAL, and so is Leon when he activates '''Blasting Zone'''.
+This battle is against Tifa along with [[Game:Leon|Leon]], [[Game:Cloud|Cloud]], [[Game:Yuffie|Yuffie]]. This battle can be very difficult. Tifa can cause massive damage with close and mid-ranged attacks. Cloud can't hit Sora from long range, but he's fast enough that it hardly matters. Leon can shoot fireballs, but they can be dodged fairly easily. Yuffie can teleport and enhance her shuriken with magic, and also can use it in a huge area attack.
-Whenever needed, go ahead and heal with '''Curaga''' and run away until the MP Charge has finished, at which point you may continue your electric bugaloo.
+Jumping and Aerial Dodging as high as Sora can before gliding away are necessary for survival. For offense, '''Thundaga''' should be used whenever possible.
-When you finally bring Yuffie down, you can start going for Cloud.
+It's recommended to defeat Cloud and Yuffie first they are able to cross the battlefield faster than anyone else. Don't worry about attacking anyone else, but keep an eye out for their attacks—Cloud and Tifa in particular are very dangerous, and so is Leon when he activates '''Blasting Zone'''.
-By the way, if you manage to defeat someone else before Yuffie goes down, consider yourself lucky.
+Whenever needed, heal with Curaga and run away until the MP Charge has finished, at which point continue using Thundaga.
-Cloud's worst attack is his Omnislash--he'll start crackling with blue electricity, and then he's moving at least twice, (if not three or four times) faster than normal. When he starts this move, just repeatedly use the Aerial Dodge + Glide to run away until he slams his sword back into the ground, signalling that it's over. From there, continue attacking him with '''Thundaga'''.
+After defeating Yuffie, begin attacking Cloud. Cloud's strongest attack is Omnislash—he'll start crackling with blue electricity, and then start moving much faster than normal.

From there, continue attacking him with Thundaga.
-When Cloud is defeated, you're now left with Tifa and Leon--and each of them are both slower AND have less range to their attacks than Yuffie and Cloud did.
+When Cloud is defeated, focus on Tifa. Mostly, she'll just use martial arts-style attacks, but some of them like Water Kick have range to them. If the pair starts swarming Sora, go ahead and use '''Reflega''' for defense. Start using Keyblade combos now, since Sora is more likely to survive more than just a couple of hits.
