Fiend Sighting 4: Unholy Union Combat Assignment Strategy

This Combat Assignment’s objectives might prove somewhat challenging to clear at the start of the demo, though it is perfectly doable by using Cloud, Red XIII, and Aerith. A good way to quickly build up stagger on each Silver Chimera is to have Red XIII accumulate 2 ATB bars to be able to use Stardust Ray. Afterwards, pummel the enemies with Cloud’s Firebolt Blade to exploit their weakness and stack even more stagger damage. Aerith can focus on supporting the party with Arcane Ward (allowing Cloud or anyone equipped with Fire Materia to cast Fire twice) or contribute to offense using Sorcerous Storm.

The Silver Chimeras attack hard and fast and tend to gang up on a single target which lets them easily burst down a party member if you are not watching their HPs. Use Cure or items when you need to as it will be hard to kill both enemies even if you are down by just 1 ally.

Finally, letting Cloud summon Ramuh will also help you close out the fight before the time limit reaches zero. Just make sure that Cloud has ATB charge to use it when the summon gauge is full.

After clearing this battle, you will be rewarded with data points that can be used for Materia Development later with Chadley at the Chocobo Ranch.

You can also find Chadley here to the right of the Chocobo stable if you want to access Materia Development or Combat Simulator Challenges. Try doing a few of the latter as these will reward you with useful materia.

Materia Development lets you create new materia using your accumulated data points for clearing Combat Challenges and other World Intel-related activities.

Fiend Sighting 2: Cacophonic Corivid Combat Assignment Strategy

The Fonadu is weak to wind so have Aerith set-up Arcane Ward so any party member equipped with Wind Materia can double cast Aero on the enemy to build up stagger quickly. Despite Fonadu being alone, it will deal a lot of damage with its multi-hit Gouge move so Cloud and another party member (preferably Barret) should be ready to heal Aerith or other allies during the fight.

Using the Bodyguard synergy skill will help keep Aerith alive which may prove a bit challenging given her low physical defense and HP. You can have Barret cast Barrier as well to improve her survivability.

One of the objectives requires you to pressure Fonadu which cannot be done by just hitting it with Aero. You need to counter Fonadu’s attack using Cloud’s Punisher Mode parry.

When Fonadu is close to death, use Cloud and Aerith’s Firework Blade synergy ability to close out the fight.

Fiend Sighting 1: Bearer of Grudges Combat Assignment Strategy

Enmidunks are weak to Fire and Ice so using Cloud’s Firebolt Blade is essential for building up stagger or bursting down the enemies’ HP when they are down. Both Enmidunks will hit hard with moves like Trample and Charge so be ready with items and Cure to heal any allies who are near death.

You can also purchase the Fire and Ice materia from Chadley (Materia Development) for 10 data points to exploit the Enmidunks’ weakness to both Fire and Ice, making it easier to stagger them during the fight.

Killing both Enmidunks within the time limit is probably the only challenge in this assignment if you want to tick-off all objectives. A good way to do this is to have Red XIII use Stardust Ray to deal massive HP and stagger damage while another party member (preferably Tifa or Aerith with Synergy and elemental materia linked) casts Blizzard or Fire + Blizzard. Having Aerith use Arcane Ward again for dualcasting elemental magic will help you deplete both Enmidunk’s HPs faster, though it is perfectly doable without it.

Cloud should simply build ATB to use Firebolt Blade over and over throughout the fight or occasionally use Cure or items on party members who are low on health.

Fiend Sighting 3: Zemze Breaks Combat Assignment Strategy

Whymzellets are weak to Ice so having a party member with Ice materia is recommended for this fight. You can also just have Tifa in the party as her default materia setup has Ice and Synergy materia linked (she will cast Blizzard after the party leader uses an attack command without expending ATB or MP).

Cloud should focus on building up the Whymzellets’ stagger with Focus Thrust. Have Aerith build ATB constantly to be able to use Arcane Ward wherever Tifa is. Tifa’s job is to spam Blizzard to also stagger the enemies fast.

To clear one of the combat objectives (prevent enemies from taking flight when using Soothing Breeze), just cast Blizzard on the enemies whenever they start winding up Soothing Breeze. Because of this, reserve Tifa’s ATB for using Blizzard only. Alternatively, Cloud (as the party leader) can use any command ability on the enemy winding up Soothing Breeze so Tifa can follow-up with an auto-cast Blizzard regardless of whether she has enough ATB or MP.

As soon as you stagger one of the Whymzellets, Aerith should use Arcane Ward again wherever Tifa is (it would just take time to stand on the ward again so just cast another wherever Tifa is). Then, bombard the target with double cast Blizzards. Repeat the process for the other Whymzellet to end the fight.

Clearing all missions in the Combat Simulator will unlock the secret summon boss fight against Phoenix. You can try completing this final Combat Simulator challenge to obtain the Phoenix Materia.

Note that the Phoenix Materia can be obtained by beating Phoenix on any difficulty level.
