-) Initial Equipment
-) No Accessories
-) No Physical Attacks/Limits
-) No Non-Mandatory Inns: pastebin.com/WHheXtMc
-) Allowed Materia List: pastebin.com/cHJs2BLH
One of the toughest fights so far (which is a shame, considering how far into the run we are), these guys have a nasty damage output and Elena can use 'Bewildered' which has a high chance of inflicting Confusion; that means someone's gotta go in there and solo them.
So to open, we get Elena poisoned (she gives the best EXP/AP of the three, and the battle ends immediately when any one of them dies) and Reno + Rude Slowed. Then our two supports need to KO themselves, which is quickest done with the Death spell.
Now Yuffie needs to roll with the punches until that Poison works it's magic. Regen is the best healing spell, as it gives the most bang for your MP buck while Barrier + Defend can help mitigate the damage coming in. Rude is probably the riskiest due to his heavy punches (called Shoulder Tackle in the game's files), because if any of those go critical then it's a bad time to be had.
This fight is also completely optional when you complete the Wutai sidequest. You can also skip it by running a very specific path to avoid the trigger for this event. But we're not doing either of those things, because [redacted]
Finally, we've got the revised Icicle fight at the end. As Demi2 was an illegal spell we used to one-shot them at the time, we need to re-do this battle. And if we can use less than the 33MP needed to cast Demi2, then it'll sort of be fixed.
I went with Quake, which deals a surprising 1000 damage for 6 MP, meaning we finished the fight with 18/33MP used. That conveniently leaves 15MP for three Cure spells to cover the additional damage we took from the Evilheads.
And that wraps up the last boss battle in this run that'll take minutes to beat. From here on out, we're dealing with behemoths loaded with HP & Magic Defence. And first up to bat, is Proud Clod...
