Pre-battle Preparations

The battles are a little tougher than your previous solo matchups but with a little preparation, they shouldn’t cause you too many issues. To begin with, assign Barret the Elemental-Lightning combo, you’ll find many mechanical enemies as the rounds go on although it’s worth bringing along a Fire materia for some of the regular Shinra grunts.

Round 1/5

Enemy Weaknesses Notable Loot
Security Officer Fire --
Grenadier Fire --
Sentry Gun Prototype Lightning --

You’ll have to deal with a Security Officer, two Grenadiers and a Sentry Gun Prototype, the main threat here. It’s best to start the battle by using Overcharge to take care of the Shinra Grunts before focusing on the Sentry Gun Prototype with either regular attacks (due to Elemental-Lightning) or a cast of Thundara.

Round 2/5

Enemy Weaknesses Notable Loot
Flametrooper Fire --

You’ll be up against two Flametroopers next and you can deal with them easily by using Overcharge from the start, followed by the Fira spell as soon as the ATB allows. Be wary of the Flamethrower ability and try to attack the Flametroopers from the back, just be cautious of Combustion should you burst the tank on their back.

Round 3/5

Enemy Weaknesses Notable Loot
Sentry Ray Lightning --
Shock Trooper Fire --

Take care of the Sentry Rays first before worrying about the Shock Trooper.

It starts to get a little tougher here, you’re up against a Shock Trooper and two Sentry Rays. Ignore the Shock Trooper to begin with and instead dash to the back and use Overcharge to dispatch the Sentry Rays quickly. Once you’re left with just the Shock Trooper, use either Maximum Fury or cast Fira.

Round 4/5

Enemy Weaknesses Notable Loot
Riot Trooper Fire --
Slug Ray Lightning Orb of Gravity

Next up, a Riot Trooper and two Slug Rays and this time, you’ll want to focus on dealing with the Riot Trooper first, a single cast of Fira should do the trick. Slug Rays themselves should be fairly simple once the Riot Trooper is out of the way, Overcharge and Maximum Fury works especially well if you have Elemental-Lightning set.

Round 5/5

Enemy Weaknesses Notable Loot
Sweeper Lightning --
Sentry Launcher Lightning Orb of Gravity

You can knock the Sweeper out of it’s Head Charge ability.

The final battle at least, is somewhat of a challenge and despite the hulking presence of the Sweeper, the main threat here is the Sentry Launcher hiding behind it. Left on it’s own, Full Salvo can deal some nasty damage while also interrupting you, allowing the Sweeper to cause more harm. Start the battle with Overcharge followed by Thundara to scrap it as soon as possible and then switch to using Maximum Fury to deal with the Sweeper. Alternatively, keep up with the Thundara spells and toss them the Sweeper’s way.

Your reward for this tournament is Sharpshooter’s Companion Vol. II which will raise Barret’s SP by 10.
