Bahamut

**Bahamut** is one of three summons that can be acquired during matches. He is also a roaming boss that will stop at various locations across the map and will randomly attack a random candidate with Megaflare when flying across the map. He is also the only playable summon in the game as of season 2.

## Boss

Bahamut will fly over the map and target random candidates with Megaflare, which is a one hit kill should anyone be unfortunate enough not to escape from his attack. He will occasionally land at any of the four locations listed below, Three of the four arenas are surrounded by large crystals to indicate their locations while the fourth is at the Support Pillars upper level, Teleporters are visible at each arena site to reach the inner arena easily. Dealing damage to Bahamut from any of the four arenas will warp him to that arena.

Bear in mind that while he can be damaged by gun fire, he will take no damage from Mako weapons. Be sure not to bring a Mako weapon before fighting him.

Note that Bahamut only appears in the Midgar Undercity and does not appear on the Midgar Upperplate.

Once he lands, a green dome will form around the arena, preventing snipers from dealing damage to candidates inside the dome from a distance. During the fight, he will utilize the following attacks against you.

 Megaflare

When using Megaflare in the arena, Bahamut will countdown from five. If Bahamut is not defeated before the countdown ends he will unleash Megaflare and kill any candidates in the arena.

Defeating Bahamut will drop epic, legendary and mythic weapons, large amounts of gill and potions, accessories, Mog Bells, secret boxes, and his summon materia.

## Summon

As a playable summon, Bahamut can fly around the map and utilize his attacks against other candidates and enemies, his large health pool also allows him to tank various attacks. However his health will go down consistently and will end the summons duration should you run out of health. Using Megaflare will also end the summon timer regardless of how much health is left.

## Bahamut Fury

During the course of two weeks, Bahamut Fury from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII replaced Bahamut in standard matches as an even harder version of the dragon. He behaves much like Bahamut, only faster, stronger and sporting more heath. He can also heal much faster. Much like Bahamut with Megaflare when attacking candidates, Bahamut Fury will use Exaflare, functionally similar to Megaflare but with its own unique animations.

As the dragon was impossible for a single player to take down, multiple candidates were required with intense coordination to take the beast down. A red dome is put into place to prevent candidates from killing each other during each fight.

Bahamut Fury is also available as a summon skin for Bahamut, functionally similar to the boss version complete with Exaflare.

Defeating Bahamut Fury during the event he was introduced in will reward players with the title Dragon Killer/Slayer/Decimator title at 1/3/10 kills.

The Season 2 Season Pass contains Fury themed cosmetic items. The credit shop will also periodically sell Fury themed items as well, including a legendary weapon skin for the Eclipse Eater SG.

## Bahamut SIN

During the Course of two weeks, Bahamut SIN from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children replaced Bahamut in standard matches as a harder version of Bahamut. Bahamut SIN will resist Gun damage, making melee attacks and magic attacks the only viable means of attacking him, though his tail will still take critical damage from Guns, he is also weak against fire elemental attacks, making both the Fire materia and Ifrit a must. Bahamut will also attack players with comets during the fight.

Defeating Bahamut SIN during the event he was introduced in will reward players with the title Tremor Dragon Killer/Slayer/Decimator title at 1/3/10 kills.

A female Bahamut SIN themed outfit can be rewarded in the Season 2 Season Pass. A Special Shinra Pack was also introduced with his introduction to include a full body skin based around Bahamut SIN as well as a Legendary Weapon Skin for the Inferno LMG.

## Behind the Scenes

**Bahamut**, also known as **The Dragon King,** is one of the most well known summons in the Final Fantasy series. He is considered the strongest among storyline summons as in the world of Final Fantasy VII with his signature attack Megaflare, an non-elemental magic attack that ignores defenses and cannot be evaded. He is shown to have numerous forms each with their own variation of Megaflare. Neo Bahamut's is Gigaflare, Bahamut ZERO's is Teraflare, and Bahamut Fury's is Exaflare.

The appearance of Bahamut's default look in Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier is how he appeared in Final Fantasy VII Remake. He is the final and the strongest summon Cloud and the party can acquire. His materia can be obtained after completing all 19 Battle Intels, completion of the final Battle Intel will reward the Bahamut Materia.

Bahamut Fury's appearance in game both as a boss and summon skin is from Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII as the second form of Bahamut Zack can acquire after confronting Genesis on top of the Shinra Headquarters. Bahamut Fury is encountered as a boss Zack must defeat in order to acquire him as a summon.

The Bahamut SIN summon skin is based on his appearance in the film Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. He is summoned by Kadaj, one of the film's main antagonists, to destroy the Meteorfall monument in the city of Edge and cause havoc on the city and its population. The party members from Final Fantasy VII engage it in battle and he is destroyed by Cloud's Climhazzard Limit Break. Every other appearance of the dragon after the film has shown him as an enemy, making Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier as his first playable appearance. Unlike Bahamut Fury, SIN does not have a unique flare attack ingame, as Fury is SIN's successor, it would have been presumed his flare attack would have been called Petraflare as this is seen in Final Fantasy Record Keeper. Why the developers chose not to name his Flare attack Petraflare in First Soldier remains a mystery. The title awarded from defeating Bahamut SIN, Tremor Dragon Killer could refer to Bahamut SIN's name in Japanese ( バハムート震, *Bahamūto Shin )* As it translates to Bahamut Tremor.
