How To Beat Cutter
| Cutter | HP: 8830 Weakness: Lightning Items Dropped: Echo Mist Rare Items Dropped: Phoenix Down Stealable Items: Echo Mist |
Jump Back to Dodge Frontal Attacks
The Cutter's attacks are almost all frontal. You can quickly escape them by either jumping to the side of jumping backwards to get out of its range.
Kite and Attack its Back
Since most of its attacks are to the front, you can kite the Cutter and stay at its backside to attack it. You can also switch between your Characters to attack it from behind.
How To Beat Airbuster
| Airbuster | HP: 32848 Weakness: Lightning Items Dropped: - Rare Items Dropped: - Stealable Items: AI Programming Core |
Must Be Defeated within Time Limit
The Airbuster has a massive health pool of 32848 and you'll need to deplete that within a 21 minute and 30 seconds time limit. Go beyond the time limit and you'll need to redo the whole fight from the start.
Use Lightning Attacks to Build Stagger
The Airbuster's stagger can be built up faster using Lightning abilities and attacks. Since it's also weak to lightning, it will do more damage to it as well.
Fight has Multiple Phases
There are 3 phases during your whole fight against the Airbuster and you'll need to get through all of them before you can clear this boss.
Defeat the Left and Right Arm First
During the second phase, the Left and Right Arm of the Airbuster will separate from the body and attack you independently. Since they have longe range attacks, it's better to focus on them first.
Hide from Airbuster's Giant Laser
During the windup for the giant laser, quicly run to the side paths to escape from it. Since it's a vertical attack, it won't hit you from any of the sides.
Main Garret in Final Phase
Since the Air Buster will be in the air out of reach by Cloud and Tifa's attacks, it's better to mainly use Barret in this part of the fight. Use his long range abilities to deal damage against it.
Roll Away from Multiple Laser Attack
When the Airbuster does it multiple laser attack, roll to the side to not get hit by the blunt of it. It does have a bit of tracking so continue moving.
Stand Between Lightning Balls
The Airbuster's multiple lightning balls can be easily escaped from by standing in the gaps between them. You'll need to time them though.
Deal Heavy Melee Damage when Airbuster Gets Near
The Airbuster will come close to you eventually during this phase. Make sure to make the best of it by using Cloud and Tifa's strongest attacks.
