Sephiroth has always been the dream of Final Fantasy.
One look at him, and he appears by all intents human yet also ethereal.
There’s an unattainable aura about him.
The terrifyingly long sword, Masamune, doesn’t exactly make him any more approachable, either.
Sephiroth’s regular attacks are bothfast and far-reaching, letting him dominate the battlefield with ease.
These special attacks also change based on whether Sephiroth is in the air, dodging, etc.
After the gauge is filled, it stays as such regardless of how many special attacks you use.
However, it resets upon being hit even once.
A major change to Sephiroth compared to other characters is his lack of a block button.
Sephiroth also has anadvanced form of the normal dodge called ‘Warp.
‘As the name implies, Sephiroth insteadteleports across the battlefieldinstead of manually moving.
This creates an instant gap closer that can also warp to airborne enemies.
Move
Ability
Zanshin
As per its in-game description, Zanshin ‘launches rending waves of energy at an enemy.’
Remember that the follow-up attacks on abilities require a charged special attack gauge and an additional ATB bar.
Retaliation Stance
Just like all other characters, Sephiroth’s special mode isRetaliation Stance.
Because this requires more precise timing, it may be easier to rely on warping rather than parrying.
Parrying is a simple process in Retaliation Stance.
Once entered by using ‘R1’, Sephiroth will grip Masamune and lock himself in place.
Just before an attack hits,use your regular attack to parry.
This only appears for a brief moment after parrying an attack, so see to it to act fast.
Don’t worry if you miss your parry either.
This acts identical to the ‘Counter’ attack, thoughslightly weaker and accessible at all times.
Synergy SkillsandSynergy Abilitiesaretwo different things.
Think of Synergy Abilities as being akin to Limit Breaks and Synergy Skills as similar to regular Abilities.
For Sephiroth, there is only a single Synergy Skill -Dualblade Dance.
This skill hasSephiroth and Cloud double team an enemy, both independently slashing an enemy.
Finally, there is their shared Synergy Ability,Double Helix.
This move has the duoleap into the airto draw a symbol and thenunleash an onslaught of attackson the enemy.
After the attack finishes,Cloud gains an additional barto his Limit Gauge, andSephiroth gains unlimited MP.
Is Cloud a clone or a copy of Sephiroth?
