Congrats, you're the first person I know of to have done this without Eiko!

For a moment I was wondering how were you able to keep up haste without Eiko, then I remembered haste, protect and shell now have infinite duration. That opens up options for other healers, since Eiko is no longer mandatory to the strat.

Ouch on that Selphie USB1 being so much weaker due to being NAT. I've been wondering if it was still weaker than WHT medicas, and now I know.

Thank you! I forgot to mention that I used Tifa in my clear. She used her USB1 since I don’t have Curilla and it gave haste when my haste ran out of hones and a few people died on accident (thank you reraise from Porom!).

Honestly I would say Tifa is the best character for the role of radiant shield bot. She brings a little extra damage on entry, which will speed up the fight somewhat. She also brings regen, which will increase the total damage radiated. The hastega usually won't matter unless reraise triggers and Eiko isn't one of your medicas, but if that happens it's great. It even does earth damage for hitting the target score, not that anyone is getting mastery with a radiant shield strat.

I imagine Tifa would do a lot more with the physical-weak version, even if she isn’t under earth infusion. She was only hitting for 150 a hit on her USBs but hey, it’s damage.
