Final Fantasy VIII - Lvl 8 Quistis vs Omega Weapon
ファイナルファンタジーVIII-レベル8クイスティスvsオメガウェポン
===============================================
Omega Weapon's Turn Skip Trick
===============================================
You can skip Omega Weapon's turns by throwing potions at it. After throwing a potion, its ATB bar will continue to fill until it is full, at which point it will reset to 0. (The ATB bar doesn't reset immediately after throwing the potion, but when it reaches full.)
Make sure you have a character with enough speed to throw a potion before Omega Weapon's turn. You can repeat this process while the other character simply attacks. In my case, Selphie had Spd 87 (Triple-junctioned), Auto-Haste, and Initiative. You need at least 62 speed, as Omega Weapon has a speed of 61.
Note: This works in all versions of the game.
===============================================
Quistis' Blue Magic
===============================================
With 11.2% HP or less and using Aura, your character will reach Crisis Level 4 100% of the time. Quistis' Blue Magic powers up depending on what her Crisis Level is.

Equipment & Abilities
-----------------------------------
Whip: Save the Queen
Abilities:
Auto-Haste
HP +80%
Mag +60%
Mag +40%
Additional Notes:
For this battle, I farmed Magic points with the Devour ability (+22 Mag exactly, killing 22 Behemoths). Thanks to this and to Mag +60% and Mag +40%, Quistis reached 255 Mag.
Kamikaze: The amount of damage done is equal to the character's max HP multiplied by 5, although the attack can be a critical hit. Quistis's max HP was 9541.
9541 x 5 = 47,705 (The hard damage cap is set to 60,000).
In FFVIII, there are 5 abilities that can break the 9,999 damage limit:
1. Cactuar's 1,000 Needles can deal 10,000 damage at level 100.
2. Boko's ChocoBocle can deal up to 16,000 at level 100. (OG version only)
3. Quistis' Shockwave Pulsar can deal 34,000 damage with 255 Mag.
4. Kamikaze can deal 60,000 damage if the character has max HP (9999) and if the attack is a critical.
5. Eden's Eternal Breath can deal 60,000 damage at level 100 with 250% boost.
