I wanted to give one of those people towers a try.

[Image Description: Digital artwork of Final Fantasy VII’s playable characters in a people tower. Barret squats at the base of the tower, smirking up at those above him. Nanaki is perched on his gun arm, while Cid sits on his other arm, bracing himself with his spear. Vincent stands atop Cid’s shoulders with his arms folded. In the middle, Tifa stands on Barret’s shoulders. She holds Aeris perched on her right shoulder, and Cloud in her left arm. Aeris is waving over at Cloud. Yuffie sits atop Cloud’s shoulders, with Cait Sith on hers at the very top. /end ID]

One thing I appreciate about the Final Fantasy speedrunning community is that their strat names are goofy as hell even by speedrunning standards. I just watched a Final Fantasy VII Rebirth run that introduced me to the Yuffie Hamster Wheel. Fantastic.

how do you hamster wheel with yuffie

Most of the folks reading this post probably haven't played Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, so to provide a high-level explanation:

  • FFVII Rebirth has a resource called "ATB", which is generated when a character uses their basic attack, and is spent when they use basically any ability which isn't their basic attack.
  • The character Aerith has a skill called ATB Ward. This skill creates a persistent zone of effect on the battlefield; whenever a character standing inside that zone uses an ability that costs ATB, part of Aerith's ATB will be transferred to that character to top them up.
  • There's also an unrelated skill called ATB Assist, which can be equipped by any character. When a character equipped with ATB Assist performs multiple ATB expenditures in quick succession, it builds a combo which grants a small amount of ATB recovery to their fellow party members.
  • The astute reader has probably already spotted the potential feedback loop: have Aerith cast an ATB Ward, then have an ally with ATB Assist equipped stand inside the Ward and spam skills. However, the numbers don't work out as one might hope; i.e., ATB Assist won't restore Aerith's ATB fast enough to offset the ATB drain from keeping the Ward up.
  • ... unless the character inside the Ward is Yuffie.
  • Yuffie has a a dodge skill called Brumal Form, which refunds part of its ATB cost when it successfully dodges an attack.
  • With the right build, you can set things up so that Yuffie's ATB refund for a successful Brumal Form dodge plus the ATB that Aerith recovers from Yuffie's ATB Assist skill when Yuffie chains multiple Brumal Form activations is greater than the total amount of ATB expended to fuel the whole setup – i.e., you actually end up with more ATB than you started with if the dodge succeeds.

Basically, by having Yuffie run in circles inside Aerith's ATB Ward, you can generate infinite ATB. This is the Yuffie Hamster Wheel.
