Help need help with Emerald weapon

[music_freak242]

I searched all over google but i cant seem to find a quick answer for my problem.
I'm level 73,my Party is Cloud-Barret-Cid
all equipped with their ultimate weapons and Limit breaks.

I already killed Ruby with this setup:

cloud alone,leave cid and barret dead
Cloud's materia :
1) hades=MP absorb
2) knighs of round=HP absorb
3) mime
4) W-summon
5) Magic plus=HPplus

after 7-8 miming,ruby's dead.

i use this tech for Emerald except i changed Hades into Bahamut ZERO and equipped sprint shoes.

but apparently,emerald always counters me with 'Revenge Stomp' after i killed its eyes.
straight after it counters,it uses 'Aire Tam' and i couldnt hold the damage..

so the main problem is its speed.

Emerald's Aire Tam Storm deals 1000 damage times the number of materias equipped to each of your characters. So I suggest to take out the useless materia to receive less damage from that attack. The best materias for you to use against Emerald Weapon is Knights of the Round, W-summon, Mime, HP Plus, Enemy Skill, W-item, Counter, Mega all and Counter Attack. You can use this combo to make the fight more easier for you. Sneak Attack, W-summon, Knights of the Round+MP Turbo, Mime, Final Attack+Pheonix. Try that and see if it works for you.

should i master the knights of round first?
if so,it still a looong way to go.
or should i change to a faster character like yuffie?

where can i get counter materia?

Here are some useful links that shows you the location of all the materias, some materia combinations and the AP cost to master them.

I just had slash all, final attack + phoenix, and I killed my other party members and just used slash, I had no problem beating him that way. Aire tam storm missed every time. Hp and Mp would help bring your characters to max too. Also counter + offensive or curing materia could help. Though again, I didnt use much when fighting him so idk if itll hurt or help.

I did the same as Rogue, final attack-Phoenix, you are always restored to full health along with your other Ko'd teammates when the char with it equipped is killed. It also damages Emerald in the prosces.

Hp Absorb-Knights of the Round

Mime

Leave only one character alive. Equip no more materia (Except maybe a HP Plus). Have at least 7000 HP.

 

[Discordius]

Since Emerald lacks dfense in comparison to Ruby, you can use your combo-type limit breaks to their full potential (Omnislash, Highwind, Doom of the living). I wouldn't bother with Knights of the Round, but it works too.

Try this

Win the final attack materia from the gold saucer & combine with a mastered phoenix summon! everytime emerald kills you you automatically get the team revived! if you master it you literally have 4 lives, master it 3 times along with phoenix & you have 3 phoenix summons against emerald if he wipes your party out, full revive x 4!:ed:

also use set up you have used with ruby but add the above!!!! id also suggest getting barret, cloud & cid to a great level with 4th limit break then before you battle emerald go into a random battle to get all party members to get attacked to limit break, run away then as soon as you fight emerald use barrets, clouds & cids limit breaks that way you deal damage similar to knights of the round 3 times!

I can remember struggling a lot with Emerald Weapon, more so than Ruby. I can remember having the following:

-Cloud's fourth limit break Omnislash (you get this from the Battle Area)
-Underwater Guide (not essential, but it knocks out the timer, making things a tad easier)
-Mime (I usually activate Mime after Omnislash)
-Final Attack combined with Phoenix (to automatically revive you when Emerald does his 9,999 attack move)
-Knights of the Round combined with HP absorb (not essential)
-Big Guard
-W-Summon

That's all I can think of. There are so many ways you can kill him. I think you can also go into the battle without any green, red or blue materia (just yellow materia) and he won't do the 9,999 attack move. Never tried it though.

 

[Takaiki]

The easiest way to beat him is underwater off course with at least one person with this combo.
Phoenix-Final attack
phoenix-mp absorb
phoenix-mp absorb
With those combinations all mastered you can never die.
*At mastered Phoenix and final attack are usable infinite times.*
With this combo everything save for ruby and the snake can be killed at level 1 if you could fight them at that level.
