    So I've started deathspamming adamantoises, got a trapezohedron! I had no idea that the final weapons did the thing that they do
    referring to +1 ATB. Do they also break the damage limit?

    No. You need a Genji glove for that.

    either instant break or her starting are really the only good choices, as she is going to be a ravager more often than not

    Axis Blade is nice, but once you get it to tier 3 it loses its Gestalt group, so that sucks.

    Probably the haste-lite one or the balanced regular one.

    Yeah I've been working with the Axis Blade (it's an enkindler now), but it really isn't all that strong, and once it loses the instant-chain synergy with speed sashes I don't think I'll like it too much. Damage certainly sounds good though!

    Chap. 9s a good place to start, lots of money available if you collect Incentive Chips.

    It really shouldn't be taking an hour.
    You are using a Marlboro wand right?

    Yup. It took so long since I couldn't really survive the screech so I had to restart it each time.
    Also Lightning's best weapon is the Axis blade for ravager.
    You never stop attacking basically.
    Using army of one also refills or nearly refills your atp gauge.
    You do lose the gestalt group when you get the ultimate like was said, but it still comes out on top.
    I think her best commando weapon is probably Lionheart for the quick stagger.

    It's possible to take them out when you first get to them but it takes a LONG time.
    You basically need Barfire buffs and a Sab helps since he'll use "Steam Cleaning" to remove them which doesn't allow him to take any other actions.
    You won't be getting a 5 on it, that's for sure.

    I was waiting for someone to make this thread.

    Finished the game 2 nights ago so now I'm working on achievements.

    I planned on taking Neochu down last night but my wife watched a marathon of Teen Mom until 3am.

    Kill her

    The Durandal Line for Stagger Lock is better for Commando's IMO.
    Ravagers give a larger boost to the stagger gauge when they stagger someone.

    i thought chapter 12 was pretty good
    it's more exciting than 10 with its environments and also enemies

    The difficulty has gotten pretty good in Chapter 11. I'm going to try to knock out up to missions 17 before I go to whatever destination they've picked for me.

    Hope cannot learn Haste fast enough. I like him more than Sazh as a ravager, but I gotta rock Lightning/Vanille/Sazh(or Fang if I need a sentinel). Hope could replace Vanille but I like casting Imperil/Deshell and Haste at the start of every fight.

    I'm going to try to get a growth egg after chapter 11. Any recommendations on farming CP at that point (early Ch. 12)?

    Hope can't learn haste until you get stage 9 crystariums at the end of Ch. 11.

    Ch. 12 you can't go back and get a growth egg. You get a portal back near the beginning of 13. I wouldn't stay and grid, Neochu will wreck your shit in Ch. 11.

    Yeah, it's supposed to be super hard and take a lot of luck but you can do it via death spam. This guy has a guide so I know it's possible: Gamefaqs growth egg guide

    Maybe you can complete chapter 11 but not cross over to 12? No idea really. The guide talks about having over 5k health and my guys are around 2k each. We have a lot of work to do.

    I should not secretly want to get the mastered all roles achievement is my problem. I purposefully sold all the weapons I wasn't using so I would avoid treasure hunter.
