With Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier‘s Season 2 content now available, it’s time to dive into a slew of new features and content that players can get their hands on. We’re giving the rundown on the Dragoon class, Bahamut boss and summon as well as teleport materia, abilities and more.

Bahamut Boss

Bahamut, also known as the King of Dragons, circles the battlefield and casts powerful aerial attacks such as MegaFlare. During a typical match, players can engage Bahamut in PvE battles once he descends after a time. To engage Bahamut sooner, simply shoot at him from specific locations on the map such as points outside Sector 5 Undercity, Corneo’s Mansion, Support Pillar or the Sewer System. Because Bahamut is a strong opponent, it’s recommended to face him as a team.

Aerial Attacks

• Divebomb: Dive attack from midair.
• Megaflare: Powerful area-of-effect attack from midair.

Ground Attacks

• Umbral Strikes: Fires two homing shots.
• Umbral Inferno: Fires multiple homing shots.
• Flare Breath: Short to mid-range fire attack.
• Spin Attack: Frontal charge attack.

Tips: 

• Close range attacks other than Umbral Strikes and Umbral Inferno are difficult to evade. Avoid standing directly in front of Bahamut and keep your distance. 
• Watch the timing of his attacks and dodge to the left and right. Umbral Strikes and Umbral Inferno both fire homing shots, so pay attention to their course and dodge accordingly. 
• For Megaflare, look for the effect that indicates the attack radius and immediately move outside of the attack range.

Bahamut Summon

Upon defeating Bahamut, players have the chance to obtain the Bahamut summon materia which can be summoned into battle. Defeating Bahamut nets a 100% chance for a single Bahamut materia to drop – the first person to grab it will be able to use it.

Bahamut is different from his contemporaries – he can be controlled directly by the player. Take over his abilities and damage while in Bahamut form will decrease his HP but not the player avatar’s. Bahamut’s HP also decreases as time passes and when his HP hits 0, he will disengage from the battlefield.

Summon Controls

• Tap the fire button to fire a single Umbral Inferno shot.
• Hold the fire button to fire multiple homing Umbral Inferno shots.
• Tap Ability 1 to use Spin Attack.
• Tap Ability 2 to use Flare Breath.
• Tap Ability 3 to use Divebomb.
• Hold Style Ability to use Megaflare.

Dragoon Job Class

The dragoon class uses a mobile attack style that allows them to strike at enemies from all sides using powerful attacks. They focus on offense and airborne attacks using a combination of melee combat, heavy attacks, aerial movement and more.

Dragoon Abilities

Style Trait

• Sky Predator – Jumping from high altitudes allows you to glide. Jump attacking from high altitudes will perform a divebomb attack.

Style Ability

• High Jump – Grants you the ability to jump high and drift down slowly.
• Dragon’s Favor – When in effect, movement speed increases and an effect that absorbs MP, inflicts bleed damage, and recovers HP when you make a kill, is applied to your melee attacks for a short time.

Style Skill

• Aerial Wall – Reduces damage taken from enemies at a lower elevation than you when you are midair.
• Wide Swing – Increases melee attack range.
• Dragon’s Ire – Places a marker on the enemy who attacked you and any damage inflicted on the target reduces their MP.

Materia and Weapons

Teleport Materia

Players can obtain the Teleport summon materia from chests and can be activated anywhere that placeable or trap materia can be used. This materia allows players to open portals – one at a targeted location on the map, and another at the caster’s feet – to instantly transport from one portal to the other. Players also have the ability to use portals created by others.

Flare Thrower Weapon

• A short range weapon that shoots out flames. It has a short range of about 5m, but when used well it can lead to quick kills.
• Ideal in close combat.

Infernal Cannon

• Firing normally will fire homing lasers and holding the fire button will fire a heavy laser. The two different types of lasers makes it useful in numerous situations.
• Ideal at 20-50m (mid-range).
