Final Fantasy VI Advance - Part 027 - Kefka & Ending
3Well the whole game built up to this, and I don't need to say how good this fight is, plenty of other people have. Even with the gimped hardware of the GBA the music still sounds great.
If you plan on playing the post game dungeon, or any play at all after the fight, I would strongly recommend getting the better steals - Ragnarok, Ultima Weapon and a potential Megalixir.
The boss is in four phases (each with their own portion of the composition), and I suggest leading with your strongest party. Any deaths get replaced at the end of a phase with the next in line - something which annoyed me at the end of the third.
Quick+Ultima works well for all four phases, as does dual wielding powerful swords with Master's Scroll + Genji Glove.
The first form doesn't really have anything special going for it, so set up Shell/Protect/Reraise whilst taking the items if you wish (I forget Reraise).
The second form isn't so hard either, but the potential Zombie status from Tiger should make it the first target here.
The third can be annoying, but more for the on death ability. Take out Lady first. Lady heals Rest.
On death Repose will KO 1-2 party members, and they'll instantly get replaced. So Reraise ensures they come back and don't get replaced.
The final phase is obviously the toughest.
Kefka himself leads with the standard attack that reduces everyone to 1HP for a final boss, he also dispels barriers that you may have up. His standard Havoc Wing can inflict a lot of damage to one member and when the screen shakes - get your health back as a priority. Forsaken is another Muilttarget spell that will hit you for a lot.
Hyper Drive into Ultima is something else he likes to do.
Pummel him with Ultima and strong physical attacks, and have a dedicated healer to always use Curaga every turn - regardless of current HP levels.
After you beat him it's time for the ending.
The World might be in ruin, but the ending is still a relatively happy one - especially in comparison to some of the endings where a character either sacrifices themself or outright dies. Everyone escapes, and everyone is happy to be free from Kefka's reign. The baby is also born back in Mobliz.
