Turn 5 Twister Strategies Compendium

[Catapult]

The Living Scourge.

I would like to see what happens if at least one of the three Scourges is not killed at the start.
Seeing how they are typically knocked out at the beginning seems a little too convenient for the hardest boss in the game. This is in an environment where previous turns of the coil have had rather important responsibilities for a second tank. (Pass-the-parcel on ADS and separation-management on Cadeceus.)
It is also not unheard-of for lesser mobs to interact with a boss. Examples are Cadeceus' slugs, Suparna & Chirada, and the Tonberry King's rancorous army. Twintania's Scourges may follow this trend. It may be that the Twisters will target the Scourge if one is still alive (or even Conflagration for that matter). Or perhaps one less Twister spawns for each Scourge alive.

Have wondered this as well, have been looking through old FF's for possible solutions. Twister is one of the abilities that has been recurring throughout the series. And one thing that stood out is that in FFIX to learn the twister ability you have to "eat" a red dragon. Perhaps if one of the adds doesn't die she doesn't gain the ability?

Looking at the two videos, the first one appears to place the twister where the mouse cursor is when twister begins casting, while the second one appears to be out of bounds to place the twister anywhere in the arena which kills the player. It is possible that the mouse cursor position plays a role in twister's placement as if placing an aoe ability on the ground?

Edit: on second look it looks like it may possibly necessary to click on the ground

...You realize PS3 players don't have mouse cursors, right?

They may not, but they have a way to aim aoe targeted areas on the ground, it would be the same idea. This is easy to test either way.

After reading what I can and watching whatever is available I second this method.

I have a hard time seeing how a group could get through the fireball/conflag phase with liquid hells constantly being thrown on top of the group.
