The Stagger Effect Pt. 1 Description

The Stagger Effect Pt. 1 Objectives

  • To complete this Battle Intel quest, you must complete the following conditions:
    • Use unique abilities on staggered enemies and charge the ATB gauge 10 times.

 

Notes & Tips

  • How to Stagger an enemy: Enemies will become staggered when the orange bar under their health fills up.
  • Use the Assess ability from Assess Materia to determine enemy weakness. (Or check our Enemies list)
  • Use their weakness against them to put the pressure on
  • When the bar fills up, do your unique abilities.
  • Tips from comments: When you have an enemy staggered, expend your ATB gauges with items or spells (so not to kill the staggered enemy) and use a unique ability such as Cloud’s Punisher Mode, Barret’s Overcharge or Tifa’s Whirlwind uppercut. You’d want to use the unique ability on a staggered enemy so it fills at least one bar for the ATB.

      Dev that pit this ridiculous cock block in needs to be fired. Enemies die to quickly to be staggered in the first place, let alone have a half empty meter as you are trying to keep them alive to be staggered!!! F***king stupid! Seriously!

        an easier way, using tifa, wail until the enemy is ALMOST staggered, use an item to deplete one of two bars, stagger, and then use her ability to fill the second bar back up

          Super pain in the ass to be dealing with so early in the game, since most enemies die so quickly. Try working on this during the Shiva battle. It's a lot easier since this is the first time you can take the time to just wail on an enemy. Stagger Shiva with fire, then go nuts with Cloud's Punisher ability until the ENTIRETY of your ATB is full. You can do this maybe twice during the battle, then "Give Up" and start the battle over until you've completed the challenge. The prize is... not quite worth the hassle though, in my opinion. I saw this explanation on a different thread, and it was by far the easiest way for me to replicate.

            Took me a few tries, but I figured it out. When you have an enemy staggered, expend your ATB gauges with items or spells (so not to kill the staggered enemy) and use a unique ability such as Cloud’s Punisher Mode, Barret’s Overcharge or Tifa’s Whirlwind uppercut. You’d want to use the unique ability on a staggered enemy so it fills at least one bar for the ATB.

              "Use unique abilities on staggered enemies and charge the ATB gauge 10 times" I cant understand what the "charge the ATB gauge" is about
