I finally beat MF last night!
I couldn't beat him back in November and took a break until yesterday. I Googled "easy ways to beat MF," but all that most people said was "Thunder Surge," "Don't equip abilities," and "Mash [ ]!" Then I found it.
Someone recommended using "Unison Rush" to dodge the barrage of shooting spheres; the attack that always kills me. So I game it a shot using my Lv 70 Ventus w/ Ultima Weapon, Thunder Surges and Curagas and Pulse Bomb. When I used Unison Rush to dodge the attack, it not only let me dodge it, but it also took down 1 WHOLE BAR OF HP!
So I thought to myself, and bought a Voltage Stack (I was out of medals for another Unison Rush), and my deck looked like:
-Unison Rush
-Voltage Stack
-Curaga
-Curaga
Weird looking, but the beauty of it is that UR and VS provide long invinciblity frames, and are safer to use than Shotlocks. They hit harder (although MF my heal off your UR if you use it too fast) and are safe to transition back in to dodging. The only downside is that UR and VS take a while to reload (equip Reload boost b/c VAT will be constantly at 1 HP), but [ ] mashing is pretty useful. They can also be used defensively. Be cautious not to be too close to MF or he'll cancel out your attack before the invincibility starts!
I began the battle and rolled around until VS fully charged. I unleashed it on MF and he lost about 1/4 of a bar. Good damage, and by the time it was done, UR was finished charging. I unleashed UR and took down roughly 3/4 of the HP bar. Then I rolled around until VS was recharged (using UR actually gave VS a good amount of time to start recharging) and repeated the cycle. When he had two bars left, he turned invisible, and I just rolled around until he appeared again (I lost once due to a stray Chain of Death/Tornado combo). Then, when he had 1/2 a bar left, he hit me and reduced my HP to 1. My two Curagas were both recharging, so I quickly used Unison Rush, which its invinciblity period saved me from the clones, and its finisher KO'ed him! He never even got a chance to cast Megaflare or Doom, and the battle only lasted ~3 minutes.
I cannot believe this method worked! Less button mashing, quicker win!
I attempted this as Aqua, but Unison Rush only took out about 1/10 of a bar. She's only Lv 46, so I'll level her up in Radiant Gardens to 70 at least. Levels must be important.
Give this a try, or at least your opinion!
