Galactic Saviors Expert Mode Tips

Galactic Saviors Expert Mode Tips

Use Proton Bombs Decisively

In Expert Mode, a large number of airships can appear during the course of the minigame. Additionally, red airships with high health will also appear alongside these airships you'll encounter.

It is best to use proton bombs during these scenarios, given that your normal artillery will not suffice in disposing them. When given the opportunity, use Proton Bombs to take enemies down.

Hold Down Square Button to Shoot

FF7 Rebirth Galactic Saviors Minigame and Rewards Hold Square
The increased difficulty in Expert Mode will require you to engage evasive maneuvers when facing enemy ships, dodging their countless munitions and retaliating with your own firepower.

It is recommended that you hold down the square button to continuously shoot down enemies, which can help you can focus on pressing the R2 button to barrel roll and dodge from enemy attacks.
