The Stagger Effect Pt. 2 Guide

Use abilities that significantly increase stagger gauges

You'll need to stagger 15 types of enemy in order to clear the The Stagger Effect Pt. 2 Battle Report. The easiest way to do it is by making use of weapon abilities that can increase enemies' stagger gauges. The list below gives weapon skills for each of the first three characters that will help stagger an enemy faster. Try equipping these weapons or using the weapon skill after learning them for faster staggering!

Most effective abilities for staggering

Enemies have more HP on higher difficulty levels

The other important factor in completing this report is that you need to be able to stagger an enemy. If their HP is too low, you will finish them off before getting a chance to stagger them, so if you are on Easy Mode, try changing the difficulty up to Normal Mode to make this Battle Report... easier.

In order to see how much HP an enemy has left, you can use the Assess Materia.
