Squall Leonheart Em seu Limit Break, Squall ataca o inimigo varias vezes com sua espada, com a chance de apertar o gatilho durante os golpes, causando mais dano.

Origin of the Concept Arranging GFs among characters is really tough. I was always stunned when a friend asks me about this. As there are a lot more people asking me about this, I decide to do something about it and that is to conduct a research. From my research, I have come up the chart below:It features list of Junction Abilities for a GF by default upon mastering all abilities. This means that the GFs are not being customized yet.

Before I continue with my ideal setup, I proceed to give a breakdown on what chart explains... Ability Slots Abilities slots refer the number of available slots that a characters can equip upon junction the GF. If you junction Quezacotl and Shiva to one character, you will find number of abilities available is still 2. If you junction a GF with Ability x3 such as Cerberus to the list, the character will have 3 ability slots. There are cumulative effect of ability slots as a character can equip between 2 to 4 abilities. GF Bahamut, Eden, Cactuar and Tonberry can only be recruit after sometime late in the game. Thus you can only utilize the remaining 12 GFs. 12 GFs can be divided evenly about 3 characters and that means you can have 4 GFs per character. Please take note about this guide. You just need to setup the GFs with 3 characters. Always bring your GF into battles along with your character by junction. GF need to gains experience and AP to in order to learn abilities. Some of the abilities seems to be unlocked upon the GF reaching a certain level. It is impossible to give every character a single set of GFs. 16 GFs is not sufficient to delegate among 6 characters... Disc 1 [1] Shiva, Carbuncle [2] Ifrit, Diablos [3] Quezacotl, Siren, Brothers Disc 2 [1] Shiva, Carbuncle, Pandemona, Alexander [2] Ifrit, Diablos, Leviathan, Cerberus [3] Quezacotl, Siren, Brothers Disc 3 onwards [1] Shiva, Carbuncle, Pandemona, Alexander [2] Ifrit, Diablos, Leviathan, Cerberus [3] Quezacotl, Siren, Brothers, Doomtrain All GFs gotten [1] Shiva, Carbuncle, Pandemona, Alexander, Tonberry, Cactuar [2] Ifrit, Diablos, Leviathan, Cerberus, Bahamut [3] Quezacotl, Siren, Brothers, Doomtrain, Eden

GF

ENHANCEMENT

GUIDE

Importance of GF GF has been extremely important compared to the previous Final Fantasy. GF has the backbone of the Junction System and you need them to have abilities equipped on the character. When junction a GF to a character, the character is not be able to summon the GF, but he/she is also able to equip the abilities found in the GF. Customize A GF - Use of Amnesia Greens. By default, the abilities are not evenly spread out and you will find replicas. For example, Elem-Def-J will be useless when you gotten its perquisite Elem-Def-J x2. The GF need to master Elem-Def-J before it can learn Elem-Def-J x2. Therefore it is logical to customize a GF after it has acquired all its 22 default abilities. For the list of abilities, you can refer to our GF profiles for more details. Once a GF has fully mastered its default set of abilties, it is time to customize them and utilize the 22 slots. As a GF can only hold up to the maximum of 22 abilities, you can remove the ability with an Amnesia Greens, that can bought from the Esthar or Timber Pet Shop. Once an existing ability has been removed, you can replace it by using a GF ability item on the GF to allow it to learn. When an item is used on a GF, the GF will fully acquired but cannot progress better abilities from the ability unless there are additional slots. These ability items can be obtained from defeating/mugging bosses. You can

get these item easily by refining your rare cards or play the Choco World mini-game. You can also obtain them via GF Eden's refinement ability - GF Abl Med-RF. WARNING ON AMNESIA GREENS Once an ability is removed by using an Amnesia Greens, the ability cannot be retrieved or the process cannot be reversed. If a perquisite ability has not been mastered, you will also lose its subsequent ability. For example:If GF has not yet acquired the ability, the advanced ability will be also be lost! If you remove an unmastered SumMag +20% from GF Quezacotl, GF Quezacotl will lose the SumMag +20% along with the SumMag +30%! So use this items only after you have fully mastered the ability set for the GF! Below are some handy tips on customizing GFs 1) Do not remove menu abilities! They cannot be recovered elsewhere! 2) Watch for "perquisite abilities"! Some GFs need to acquire a certain ability or condition before they will learn the ability. Most of the time, once you recruited a GF, you will find a GF has a couple of empty slot. You need to have these additional slots in order to acquired those uncovered abilities. So do not use any GF items on GFs other than GF Medicine such as G-Returners, G Potions, etc. Do not use GF Ability Items. For example, GF Alexander will not have Med LV Up at time you have gotten it via [Draw] on BOSS Edea on Disc 2. You will need to master its Med Data [200 AP] before you will find Med LV Up ability available for learning. 3) Pay attention to GFs with Str Bonus and Vit Bonus! So that you can make use of "Bonus effect". Str Bonus allows your characters to get a +1 for Str when the equipped character levels up. The best place for training is Island closest to Hell and Heaven, however they are extremely tough...

Some Useful tips...

What abilities to remove and what to keep... 1) Remove redundant Item, Draw, GF and Magic Commands If you are observant enough [Item], [Draw], [Magic] and [GF] abilities are available for all GFs. In other words, if you equip 4 GFs to a character, you will have 12 extra slots for other abilities. 2) Do not drop GF Abilities GFs that carries an elemental in their offense, are mostly like to have Boost and a couple of menu abilities. Do not remove Boost or SumMag+10% to 40%, as doing this will weaken the GF's summoned attack. Besides, you cannot have two or more SumMag +30% for a GF. Removal of GF HP +10%~40% will also weaken the GF in terms of lowering HP. However, it is okay to add GF HP +40% or Sum Mag +40% for GFs. In short, do NOT remove GF abilities. 3) Remove Elem-Def-J and ST-Def-J if GF has Elem-Def-J x2 or ST-Def-J x2 Remove Elem-Def-J/ST-Def-J as they will be covered by Elem-Def-J x2 or ST-Def-J x2 respectively. Best still get at least 3 GFs with Elem-Def-J x4 and ST-Def-J x4. 4) Have 3 GFs with Ability x4 These GFs must be placed on the different characters. This is to utilize the number of character and Party Abilities. I would normally add a Str +60% (Learnt from Power Wrist), Vit +60% (Learnt from Adamantine), Auto-Haste (Learnt from Accelerator) and any extra ability for support. Initative or AutoProtect are good abilities for equipping too. 5) Arrange all GF among 3 members with all junction abilities covered Arrange your GFs in a way that you will have maximum number of Junctions available. Every character MUST have HP-J, Mag-J Str-J, Vit-J, Spd-J, Spr-J, Elem-Def-J x4, ST-Def-J x4, ST-Atk-J, and Elem-Atk-J to be effective. Normally, I will not junction any magic to Elem-Atk-J unless the enemy has some elemental weakness. 4) Do not remove Menu Abilities Do not remove any of the Menu Abilities as you cannot learn them elsewhere in the game.

Character Power Up Guide

Author: Scott Ong Original Concept: Aya Brea The idea of retaining low levels prior getting GF Cactuar is to utilize the "bonus effect" of statistics bonus abilities such as Str Bonus, Vit Bonus, Mag Bonus and Spr Bonus. This concept is originally originated from Aya Brea, a FAQ writer for GameFAQs. As soon as you have gotten GF Cactuar, it is time to start to do some power-up. Get Ability x4/x3 for that character. Equip him with Str Bonus, Vit Bonus and Spr Bonus for the effect. If Squall is at level 20+ - choose to train at Trabia Area, equipped them with 100x Firaga for Elem-Atk-J and 100x Blizzarga for Elem-Atk-J If Squall is at level 50+ - choose Island closest to Hell/ Heaven. Junction 100x Ultima to Str-J, 100x Curaga to Spr-J, 100x Full-Life to HP-J and 100x Meteor to Vit-J. If you have Spd-J, junction 100x Triple to it. Using these spells will give Squall the best effect of the Junction. Equip Vit +20~60% and have a lot of Aura spells. Aura spells can be easily obtained via refining Fury Fragments mug from Blue Dragons. Use Limit Breaks such as Renzoukuken [Squall], Duel (interchange between Booya and Punch Rush) [Zell] along with Degenerator [Quistis]. I would recommend you give Squall Str Bonus from Ifrit and equip GF Cactuar on Zell/Quistis, which ever character you preferred. Leave Rinoa/Selphie/Irvine in the bay for future training... Although this power-up process takes up a lot of time, the result will be rocking unstoppable party!
