Sphere Recommendations
NOTE: The sphere letters below are hyperlinked to our Sphere Hub which lists all available spheres sorted by effect!D Sphere - Focus on ATK, anything but Wakka will be fine to activate
E Spheres - Quistis is probably the best choice for the slight boost to mBRV for the party, which boosts her own battery... but otherwise you can opt for her own (which is one of the best E spheres in the game), or Irvine or any ATK sphere out there. Eald / Serah are also fine to boost her mBRV a bit for more battery.
How-To-Play Notes
Yuffie deals more damage to debuffed targets, and she starts with all her buffs up, and her LD debuff active on each wave.
Open with I don’t need this (S2) to dump 8 debuffs on all enemies, and THEN it will transfer Yuffie’s current debuffs +5T, if she has any. This also removes a debuff from allies which can be very nice cleansing.
No other character in the game can throw debuffs. NONE.
Important - if you throw back a powerful, unframed debuff onto an enemy, be careful pushing off the debuff! If you use S2 again, it will remove the powerful debuff
Mine now (S1) is used for its single target 100% gravity effect, while also stealing 2 buffs from the enemy
Gauntlet is her EX skill which recharges in 2 skill uses, allowing Yuffie to spam skills for 32 of her turns. It applies No cheating! which prevents enemies from gaining BRV and buffing themselves!
Doom of the Living (LD) to maintain your LD buff or LD debuff. Your free ability use is best on Mine now since it’s a higher damaging skill.
All BRV Copy (AA) batteries the party by the BRV held by the targeted enemy. It also provides an extra bump in party stats.
All Creation (BT) enables her strong Landscaper attack while the BT effect is active. If you like big HP buttons, she's got some materia with your name on it.
Blitz Gale (FR) isn't a fart joke. It asks for:
Attacking a debuffed target on turn: 5% per debuff, 40% max.
Attacking a broken target on turn: 20%, 40% for Yuffie.
It also applies all her S2 debuffs
Removable Passives
NOTE: Passives should generally only be removed if you lack CP space. There are very rare occasions where a character has a bad passive that disrupts their optimal gameplay.BRV Initiative (can mess up turn orders by fluctuating Yuffie’s speed, consider removing)
BRV Attack++ HP Attack++ (never used given LD BRV/HP)
BRV Attack+ HP Attack+ (never used)
Chain Bonus (garbage passive)
I don't need this~ BRV Gain (insignificant BRV gain)
