Had to start the Midgar Raid over because my strategy for Hojo didn't go as planned, and I want to enter that battle with enough MP to blow away Lifeform Hojo with just Shadow Flares.

This time, Cloud only takes two hits (one mandatory, one defended) and uses no MP, while Yuffie/Cid use half Shadow Flares, and half Betas not only to conserve MP, but do just enough damage to Reno and end the fight.

Cloud: Ultima Weapon, Bronze Bangle
Yuffie: Conformer, Carbon Bangle
Cid: Venus Gospel, Gold Armlet
