After learning how fun the mimic ability is, I wanted to see how many summons I can fire off in one song. I looked at the longest songs in the game but none came close to getting as many summons as the absurd 6 minute long Advent Children One Winged Angel. If anyone's gotten more summons and/or better ideas, let me know in the comments section!

Disclaimer: Not enough Sephiroths were burned to the ground.

Party Setup:
Wol - He's the only mimic user that also learns a summon support ability
- Swiftness (+0.1 summon gauge per trigger)
- Mimic (Copy previously used ability)

Yuna - Garnet with Blessing of Alexandria instead of Grand Summon also works though
- Swiftness (+0.1 summon gauge per trigger)
- Mana Cede (+30 summon gauge at 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 of the song)
- Grand Summon (+1000 summon gauge at the start)

Two other Mimic users with ONLY Mimic.

Activate Swiftness ASAP, then Mimic x3 at 65 chain and 130 chain, for a total of 8 swiftness activations, or +0.8 extra summon game per trigger. Any other start-of-song abilities may delay Wol and Yuna's first Swiftness. Grand Summon is a free summon, and due to this song's absurd length, Mana Cede's first activation doesn't fire until all Mimics are fired.

Other notes:
- Phoenix has the shortest summon gauge of 160. Its summonstone effects don't matter, though mine has two +30% summon damage and one +0%3 collectacard drop rate.
- Character stats don't matter as stats don't impact the summon gauge. No, Spirit doesn't help summoning in any way.
- Grand Summon fills your summon gauge. That means having 3 mimics copy Grand Summon simultaneously only summons once, so it's not worth it.
- GREAT Triggers don't give any summon gauge. I failed to get 16 summons when I got 3 or more GREATs, but this one succeeded with 2 greats, so an almost all critical is needed to hit 16 summons.
- Summon gauge / trigger skills don't scale well with higher difficulties so this won't work on Ultimate or Supreme (probably - i've never done supreme). Basic difficulty is usually more favorable, but Expert difficulty seems to have more frontloaded triggers than Basic which fires the first set of mimics earlier than Basic difficulty.
- After recording this, I realized that Garnet can give an extra Swiftness boost at the start (Blessing of Alexandria is basically Swiftness), at the cost of no free summon. I ended up getting the same 16 summons, but with much more leniency. If a longer song existed, Garnet would be able to pull ahead than Yuna.
