Aerith got Hard!!! (Patreon)

I didn't think I could do it but I just won everyone's Hard level individual simulation battles. Now to do the hard team battles and battle Bahamut. I tried loads of times before I worked it out. Then doing it with each character meant learning to fight with each one, best combos for their powers which changes depending on the the many foes you face. Aerith took me a few goes before I realised the trick was to lay down arcane ward, double your magic attack and if you run low on MP use her soul sucker attack, when they stagger hit them with her super lazerbram. Turns out I was using tempest wrong all the way through the game as well. It's not that easy to keep up MP absorb when your busy using elemental plus magic to block out and add potency to your weapon. Some of her ability which sucked in the game are very handy on hard
