The Ultimate Weapon: Lion Heart — Final Fantasy VIII Remastered Walkthrough

The Lion Heart is a powerful Limit Break for Squall Leonhart, essential for high-damage output against tough enemies. When facing the Ultima Weapon, a strong strategy involves drawing Eden, casting Meltdown to reduce its defenses, and then Aura on characters with potent Limit Breaks like Squall, Irvine, and Zell. This setup maximizes damage potential, especially with Lion Heart.

The Ultima Weapon has significant HP, ranging from 61,000 at Level 10 to 160,000 at Level 100. It is immune to Gravity and most status effects. Drawing Eden from Ultima Weapon is a priority. After weakening it with Meltdown, repeatedly use Limit Breaks while reviving characters hit by Light Pillar. At lower levels, a single Lionheart could defeat it, but higher HP values will require sustained attacks.
