step 3 should be waste not first, then sh2. reason being you waste a sh2 step by doing this. the first waste not step is wasted, yes, but it puts it at 75, and a 5 counts as a safe step to do whatever on. kinda confusing but trust me. tricks of the trade shouldnt be used when sh2 is up either. i only do that when the first sh2 falls off, and i need the TOT bc i havent gotten one yet. so when i reapply comfort zone, then sh2, i use the first TOT i get. dont want to do it later, bc the hits are bigger on goods later on due to the built up IQ. also, the manipulation isnt as good as mm2 here. u use a lot of cp for it, but if you have 387 cp, and u get one TOT, then youre able to put a sh2 up towards the end, then you got enough for GS, BB, and ING2. idk just the way i do it. you can keep doing that tho, but pay attention to the first points i made, i think that will help. i have a bit of trouble with these but havent nqed yet. you dont begin with much quality since the mats involve materia
