GarlandTheGreat | FFVII - Solo Rotating Character No EXP Challenge, Part 14: Reno & Rude (Gongaga) @GarlandTheGreat | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
Tifa takes care of this one and I'm sure you can guess why. Rude will never use Fire on Tifa, but he's only got a 1/3 chance of hesitating, so you must still expect him to attack most of the time. The beginning is a little luck reliant, as you need to survive four of their attacks as well as getting poison to stick. Even if you do, there's still a chance of Turk Light + critical Rude attack, so you're never truly safe.
Rules:
1. Solo Rotating Character - Only one character may be used per battle. This can be any character, but no character may be used in more than five boss battles. All optional bosses must be fought.
2. No EXP - Achieved with gameshark codes
3. No Damage Dealing Items
Character uses so far:
Cloud - 4
Barret - 3
Tifa - 2
Aerith - 2
Red XIII - 2
Yuffie - 0
Cait Sith - 0
Vincent - 0
Cid - 0

Three challenges in a row? Have I lost my mind? Yeah, it seems so. When I finished the Berserk challenge, I said I had an idea of how to make it harder, and that idea was to do it with no EXP. I know what youre thinking. That would be impossible since I had to level up for Rufus. Well, I had a solution for Rufus. I would simply level up the Elemental Materia and let Dark Nation heal me with Bolt. However, the challenge ended at the elevator because I was gonna do the same thing there, only with poison, but I forgot you cant get poisoned when you use a level 2 or 3 Elemental. Too bad.
So, I came up with this instead. Instead of always having Berserk, I am only allowed to use the action button in battle. That means I will no longer get the 50% damage boost unless I equip a Fury Ring, but I will be able to use limit breaks and have a little more control over the battles in general. All counters and Cover will work and best of all, I can even heal! Will this make things easier or will the lack of EXP make up for it? Is the challenge even possible? Lets find out.
As for this battle, it was already a close call in the Berserk challenge, but even with limit breaks, its harder here. The limit breaks simply do not make up for the extra damage from Berserk. The first attempt failed because Cloud was killed before he could use his second limit break and then Barret couldnt finish him off before the tail was raised again.
Since these battles will be longer and more varied, Im going back to one video per battle with this one, but I will upload them more frequently, roughly one per day. A few people werent happy with the sped up battles last time, so I only sped up these by 25% to avoid copyright issues.
