Info on Aerith Assist

**ujhbn** · 03-30-2011 03:05 PM

Cure: gives 60% of raw Brv, i.e. always = 400 for a Lv 100 character

Seal Evil: last for 3 sec (180F)

Planet Protector: last for 5 sec (300F)

Holy: spell casting time = 8 sec (480F), the HP hit lands at 524F. Aerith has Block Mid priority (ie. need guard stagger/crush attacks to stop her).

A bit of explanation, between 480F to 524F, the opponent is still free to do anything. They could even attack Aerith to cause an Assist Lock to you, but they will still get hit by Holy at 524F.
Think of this as Starfall, the meteor(Holy) appears at 480F, and needs 44F to "reach" its target.

thanks for this! I was wondering when we'll get proper info on Aerith as she has no thread dedicated to her as an assist

Seal Evil is a stun.
Planet protector gives the player and herself invincibility for 5 sec.

I see. Planet Protector and Holy sounds a little op.

Holy is a little op but at least it can be stopped with guard crushes.
I think Planet Protector is way too op.(IMO)

I suppose five seconds of immunity is probably fairly helpful. Especially in tight online fights. Does it stop you flinching or just taking damage?

I think it's both. I don't know if you can stagger them with some HP attacks or guard crushes yet. But My brv attacks didn't do anything against that assist.

I had the 1 unique experience wherein I casted Planet Protector and Cloud was still staggerred by Tifa's moonsault kick. But usually inviniciblity nullifiies all attacks. No stun, no hp/brv damage. Even if you've got both main and assist opponent attacking you and Aerith.

EDIT:
I think my friend used PP at Tifa too at the same time Cloud casted PP. Maybe that nullifies the effect. Gonna test it again.
