- General Guidelines
- - You want to be on Battle Speed 6 for all random battles. This ensures you will run away from the battle with no damage 90% of the time (that's a made up percentage). It seems as though the time it takes to run away is independent from the battle speed, but I can't say for sure.
- - You don't want to be on Battle Speed 6 for any boss fight or scripted battle. This will simply drain time in the speedrun. Battle Speed 1 is recommended, but I admit that Battle Speed 2 or 3 may be as fast or faster for specific boss fights.
- - For many boss fights, I wrote down what I refer to as a "Combat Loop." This is basically what the party member should do when there's no situational condition to handle instead. Any directions given before a combat loop are things for the party member to take care of before moving to the loop.
- - Twincast is different in this version. You can ensure Palom & Porom will cast Comet, the stronger spell, by keeping them both at max HP and max MP. The game checks the HP ratio (Current HP / Max HP) and MP ratio (Current MP / Max MP) of both twincast users to determine if Comet is used. If the ratios are within 20% of each other, Comet is used... otherwise, it's Pyroblast.
- - Make sure to check out https://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/final__fantasy_iv_ds.html for any further developments of the route.

- Rubicante will counter almost all physical damage with Fira to the entire party, so be prepared to heal. When he opens his cape, you should be able to summon Shiva and Steal from him before he casts Inferno. Stealing causes Rubicante's AI to close his cape. If Rubicante casts Inferno, which he only casts while his cape is open, then the party will be wiped.
- Rubicante counters Shiva with Blizzara... on himself. So as long as you don't steal before the summon goes off, he'll deal extra damage to himself.

- ** Zeromus **
- *************
- The key to this fight is a simple crazy realization. Haste and Hastemarch stack. Or at least they seem to... if not, then hastemarch is just THAT amazong of a bardsong. The party will be going so fast, Kain specifically, that Zeromus will only get about 3 or 4 attacks in before being taken down and because of how his AI is setup(I think), the only offensive attack he might use is Meteor.
