How to Pressure Odin

How to Pressure

Wait Until Odin Uses Sleipnir's Furor

Landing ATB commands, evading attacks, or inflicting detrimental status effects will put Odin on the backfoot, both thrilling and pressuring him. Conversely, taking too many of his attacks will leave him disheartened, leading him to sound Gjallarhorn's Warning and unleash Zantetsuken.

How to Beat Odin at Full Power

Odin Boss Fight Tips
Prioritize Dodging Odin's Attacks Used a Ranged Character as Your Main Attacker Use ATB Commands and Negative Status Effects Watch Out for Gjallarhorn's Warning Bring Multiple Methods of Revival Use Limit Break During Temporal Imprisonment

Prioritize Dodging Attacks

Dodging Odin's attacks should be your main priority during the fight since getting hit, including blocking, will cause him to use Zantetsuken and instantly KO your party. Take the fight slowly and only attack when you're sure it's safe to do so.

Use a Ranged Character

Since you want to prioritize dodging Odin's attacks, having a ranged character as your main attacker is ideal. This makes it easier for you to dodge its attacks without having too long for an opening to attack.

The ideal choice for this role is Yuffie since she's faster than Barret and Aerith, making it much easier for her to evade compared to the other two.

Use ATB Commands and Status Effects

To prevent Odin from using Zantetsuken, you also need to target him with Commands such as Abilities and Spells, as well as Negative Status Effects like Deprotect, Deshell, and Poison. Make sure to spam these moves so that Odin doesn't wipe your party.

Do note that it's not recommended to use Debrave and Defaith because you want to prioritize dodging his attacks, ignoring the weakened damage you would have taken.

Cast Haste on Your Main Attacker

Haste will greatly increase the rate your main attacker's ATB gauge will recharge, allowing them to use more abilities and spells on Odin. This helps guarantee that Odin won't use Zantetsuken, as long as you keep evading his attacks and hitting him in return.

Watch Out for Gjallarhorn's Warning

Watch out for when Odin uses Gjallarhorn's Warning as this means he's about to use Zantetsuken. If you see him use this move, make sure to not get hit and deal as much damage as possible to prevent Odin from using Zantetsuken.

Do note that dealing damage is the only way to stop him from wiping your party as dodging around will still cause Odin to get bored and use Zantetsuken.

Sleipnir's Furor is the Opposite of Gjallarhorn's Warning

Inversely, if you see Odin use Sleipnir's Furor, this means that you're doing a good job of dodging his attacks and dealing enough damage to keep Odin entertained. He will also get pressured in this state, allowing you to go for a quick stagger.

Bring Multiple Methods of Revival

How to Revive Party Members
1. Equip Everyone With Revival Earrings 2. Equip the Phoenix Materia for Reraise 3. Use Weapons with the Reprieve Weapon Skill 4. Equip Everyone With a Revival Materia

Odin's Zantetsuken will deal 9999 damage to your party if you're not careful. It's advised to bring multiple forms of revival in case Odin uses this move so that you will be able to revive your fallen party members.

Do note that accessories like Safety Bit and Karmic Cowl do not work since Zantetsuken does damage and is not an Instant Death effect.

Equip Revival Earrings

Revival Earrings will automatically give the character Auto-Life at the start of the fight, automatically reviving them if they go down.

Do note however that this is only a one-time use, and the earrings will break after they revive a character.

Equip the Phoenix Materia

Phoenix is the best summon for this fight because it'll allow you to use Reraise on your party members, automatically reviving them if they go down.

Make sure that you have scanned all of Phoenix's Sanctuaries to enhance its Materia to 4-Star, unlocking the ability for it to use Reraise.

Phoenix Sanctuary Locations

Use the Reprieve Weapon Skill

Characters with Weapons That Have Reprieve
Cloud	Buster Sword / Umbral Blade
Aerith	Ceremonial Staff / Gambanteinn

Cloud and Aerith have weapons that can equip the Reprieve Weapon Skill. This will revive them back to 1 HP when they go down in battle.

If they're revived after Odin uses Zantetsuken, they're still susceptible to getting KO'd by a follow-up attack. Make sure that you immediately dodge and heal up before Odin defeats your party.

All Weapons and How to Get Them

Equip Revival Materia

For cases where a party member doesn't get automatically resurrected, you will need to have someone else cast Raise or Arise on them. Make sure that all your party members have one equipped in case of emergencies.

How to Get the Revival Materia

Use Limit Break During Temporal Imprisonment

Temporal Imprisonment is an ability that stops your controlled character from moving. If you have a Limit Break on your controlled character while Odin is casting Temporal Imprisonment, use it as it will protect your controlled character from being frozen.

Odin Best Party and Builds

Recommended Party Setup

Recommended Party Setup
Yuffie	【Main DPS】 ・Can attack safely at range ・Fast enough to dodge Odin's attacks Recommended Level: 42
Aerith	【Support】 ・Has multiple useful Weapon Skills ・Stays away from Odin's attacks Recommended Level: 42
Tifa	【Secondary DPS】 ・Used to increase stagger damage ・Stockpiles ATB Charges Recommended Level: 42

Control Yuffie for Most of the Fight

Yuffie will be your main attacker during this battle because she can attack Odin from afar and swiftly evade his attacks. This is important because you need to minimize the number of hits Odin will do on your party, otherwise, it will use Zantetsuken.

Aerith Has Multiple Weapon Skills That Benefits Her Role

With the Ceremonial Staff equipped, Aerith becomes a very effective Support for the team thanks to Altruistic Buff Up and Reprieve. This allows her to increase the duration of positive status effects by 25% and she'll automatically revive at 1 HP when she goes down.

Tifa Increases the Damage Odin Takes While Staggered

Tifa will be your secondary carry that will do massive damage once Odin is staggered. Make sure that she has enough ATB Charges for Unbridled Strength, so that she can use Omnistrike and Rise and Fall.

Odin Best Materia to Use

Recommended Materia for Yuffie

Weapon: Bird of Prey	Armor: Garm Bangle
HP Up MP Up Magic Focus Enervation	Magic Focus Poison ATB Boost Assess Revival
Summon:	Bahamut Arisen

Enervation and Poison linked to Magic Focus are used to target the negative status effects that can affect Odin. Alternatively, you could use any other Materia with offensive spells instead.

As for the Materias, HP Up, MP Up, and Assess are always useful to boost Yuffie's MP and to check Odin's status, while ATB Boost helps her quickly gain ATB charges so she can use more ATB commands.

Also, as with the other two builds, Revival is mandatory in case a party member doesn't have an auto-revive buff active to resurrect them when they go down.

Finally, Bahamut Arisen is used to give a balanced boost to her Attack and Magic.

Recommended Materia for Aerith

Weapon: Ceremonial Staff	Armor: Varvados Bracelet
Time Fortification Comet	Auto-Cast Revival Auto-Cast Healing Empowerment
Summon:	Phoenix

Time is the most important materia on this setup because it's needed to boost Yuffie's ATB Charge rate. Once that buff is active, she can then use Empowerment to boost her damage output or Comet to deal damage to Odin.

While Healing and Fortification aren't necessary since you'll be dodging attacks, it'll still be useful to have in case you do get hit.

Also, as with the other two builds, Revival is mandatory in case a party member doesn't have an auto-revive buff active to resurrect them when they go down.

Finally and most importantly, Phoenix is used because it can cast Reraise party, automatically reviving them when they go down.

Recommended Materia for Tifa

Weapon: Kaiser Knuckles	Armor: Celestial Bangle
Auto-Unique Ability Healing Auto-Cast Revival	HP Up Strength Up Luck Up ATB Stagger ATB Boost Chakra
Summon:	Kujata

Auto-Unique Ability is used so that Tifa will automatically use Unbridled Strength, allowing her to use Omnistrike and Ride and Fall immediately once Odin is staggered.

ATB Stagger and Boost are used so that Tifa can spam her abilities once Odin is staggered while Healing and Chakra are used in case Tifa or other party members take too much damage.

For the flexible options, HP, Luck, and Strength Up are used to give Tifa generally useful stat buffs, but you can replace these with any other Materia of your choosing.

Also, as with the other two builds, Revival is mandatory in case a party member doesn't have an auto-revive buff active to resurrect them when they go down.

Finally, Kujata is used because it gives her the highest Attack boost out of all the summons available until you get Odin's.
