Worst of the Celestial Weapons

[josef1995]

I created a thread and this is about the celestial weapons of the characters of the game. What is the worst celestial weapon/s in the entire game? Caladbolg, Spirit Lance, World Champion, Godhand(weapons that hit hard with high HP) vs. Masamune(weapon that hit hard with low HP) vs. Nirvana, Onion Knight(weapons that hit hard with high MP).

For me, the worst are the weapons that hit hard with high MP. Why? Because in certain battles, there are attacks that depletes your character's MP to 0 like Penance's Immolation, Dark Cindy's Camisade, and Dark Anima's Oblivion. So, if you have 255 strength, your attacks will only deal 5000+ damage, which is pretty embarassing for having the max strength. You would have to use 2 turbo ethers or 10 ethers or 1 elixir if you have 999MP to replenish it yet, wasting precious turns. And those items are really rare. Right?

My second worst are WEAPONS THAT HIT HARD WITH HIGH HP particularly Caladbolg, Spirit Lance, World Champion, and Godhand. My reason: I really find it hard to keep my party in full health. And also, once Tidus', Kimahri's, Wakka's, and Rikku's HP falls below half of their max HP, they won't be able to hit 99,999 damage anymore especially if they have "powerbreak" status effect even if their strength is 255. I really don't customize my armors with Defense +20% and Auto-Potion at the same time. It makes the game a lot easier. And I don't like it that way.

And my best is the WEAPON THAT HITS HARD WITH LOW HP which is Masamune. My reason: In boss battles, you don't have full health all the time. And if you are going to observe closely, once Auron's strength is 255, luck is more than 150, and he is using Masamune, he won't be dealing any damage lower than 99,999 anymore even if he has full health and suffers from "powerbreak." So if the enemies just damage him, they just make him even more stronger. Unlike the other weapons that even if you have 255 strength, you can still hit lower than 99,999 damage.

Josef is right for boss battles, there are attacks that deplete MP but overall I think keeping MP high is really easy. Just get the 1MP on the weapon and even with the magic booster spells cost 2mp which is nothing.

I chose Masamune because its so easy to keep people's health high, especially with auto-potion. I found my characters rarely had low hp late in the game.

i chose masamune because its aurons weapon he spends most of his time with higher hp than everyone but when he gets low hes usually too slow to attack and then just dies which is a massive waste although i'm saying this when they haven't been maxed out yet

if they were maxed out it still is a waste becasue it will take him forever to get low on hp and when he does since he is your main armor piercer you usually end up healing him when he is low enough to do some monster damage

Can I say all of them?

Honestly this is the first FF where the "best weapons" are the worse too me, Sure using them against certain bosses helps, but at the same time weapons can be useless on others? I think they had nice idea with the weapons but really messed it up in the end anyways.

I'd probably go for the weapons that hit hard with good HP. While Auron's might seem bad, he hits ridiculously hard anyway, so it's not like he needs the boost; plus, he's normally the last to survive anyway, so if something is able to wipe out your team apart from Auron, his ability might be the one that ends the bosses life.

Plus, for Yuna and Lulu... unless you grind for hours and hours and hours without even touching a save point, it's stupidly easy to keep MP high; especially since Yuna's Nirvana means all spells cost 1MP, and for Lulu with Onion Knight, 2MP.

Hitting harder with more HP is probably more valuable for Wakka, than it is for Tidus and Rikku; Rikku in particular is a fragile speedster.

Umm... No. If you can say all of them, I already made the poll and I chose that our answers should only be one. There's no way I can edit it again.

I know lol, i was just saying they all basically suck, I think I made better weapons than the "best weapons" in this game.

BUT if I have to choose Caladbolg, Spirit Lance, World Champion, Godhand cause if you get low on hp these weapons really start to suck more and more, and some bosses moves can take out half your hp easily if your not careful.
