OK so im on the quest to make some really good armour to beat the dark Aeons and Pennance and just to well stay alive. So im wanting to know what abilities you put on your armours and the reasons why?

I've never fought the Dark Aeons, but the following abilities are always useful for me:

Auto-Phoenix
Auto-Haste
Auto-Protect
Auto-Shell
Auto-Med
Berserkproof
Confuseproof
Curseproof

The "Auto-" ones are just good measures -- why wouldn't you want those? The "-proof" ones are just for status effects that make you lose control or so you can't use your Overdrives; Auto-Med doesn't function if you don't have control, and that's key.

I feel my luck can change

Auto Phoenix and Auto Haste are a must, i was thinking about break hp limit but then relised that there is no point because they will just strike for 99,999 therefor just plain 9999 would be better as overdrive would charge quicker and autolife would just kick in. Ribbon would be great rather then having many status proof abilities on although the amount of dark matters needed would be hard to obtain. As for Auto-Med if you were stuk with more then 1 status affect would you automaticaly use remedy or not, and is there an item that can be used to cure curse because remedy doesnt cure it therefor leaving you without overdrives.

I was thinking of using Auto-Protect/+20% Defence on a character that isnt using Auto Phoenix because you only need 2 chars with it to stay alive. Does anyone know if this is affectice or if one is better then the other.

Not necessarily. Once your defence stat is high enough, they're damage will fall dramatically, to the point where you can defend against their attacks if you have 10000+hp.

My Defence at about 210 now im and they do well over 20,000 im prob going to max it once i finish off raising luck. Will puting up to 255 make that much diffence?

You'd be surprised what maxing your def. can do.

Anyhow, as far as Break HP limit, the only one that's really useful on is Penance. IIRC, Penance is the only enemy in the game that has an all-party +9999 attack.

For the Aeons, I recommend:

Auto-Shell
Auto-Haste
Auto-Phoenix
Auto-Protect

all the dark aeon's attacks can be predicted and blocked with your own aeons, so break HP limit isn't needed.

Oh sure, I don't have to get kicked in the junk to activate it, but I like it anyway. -- Thief commenting on the difference between Throw and Blue Magic.

I just watched a video on how to beat pennance without break hp limit which used auto haste,auto protect,auto potion and +20% defence i might try that. A very long process but i supose all stratagys against pennance are.

Another note if i was to only put either Defence +20% or Auto protect which would be better? Note that defence levels would be at 225.
