-Final Fantasy 4 uses the Active Time Battle (ATB) system to determine character turns. The number of ATB ticks required for a character or enemy to get a turn is based on the agility anchor. The agility anchor can be changed based on flags, but the default is the center slot character. Characters and enemies with higher agility scores than the Agility Anchor require fewer ATB ticks to get their turn until the maximum speed is reached referred to as ''RA1''. That character's turn can come up once every 1 ATB tick. +Final Fantasy 4 uses the Active Time Battle (ATB) system to determine character turns.

 +===== Crumble Skip =====
 +
 +Refers to players using a Kamikaze item to kill a boss and skip the crumble animation that happens at the vanilla Milon Z, Kainazzo, Valvalis, Rubicant, and Elements positions. Also works in the Zeromus fight, but does not save any time, just changes the ''!done'' timing from the flash/crack that is normally used to Zeromus starting to fade away.
 +
 +Boss fights with multiple enemies do not crumble at any of the above locations, so there is no value in using the technique against them. (e.g. Baron Guards on the Baron throne never crumble, even though Kainazzo or D Mist would)

 A Reflect kill using only Edward to damage Zeromus with mostly triggered counter nukes from Zeromus while hiding Edward from every Big Bang. Requires a large number of starveils and prefers to have specific j-items to trigger counter nukes. Also requires a very specific agility setup and a double slow effect on Zeromus. Takes around 15-20 minutes.

 +===== Fu and Friends, Palom and Friends ===== 
 +
 +A Zeromus strategy that relies on obtaining Nuke for [[fusoya#strategy_and_tips|FuSoYa]] and combining [[#1200 strats]].  FuSoYa can direct cast Nuke up to the point where Zeromus would refill his HP, at 45,000 damage dealt (16,000 remaining), at which point he can switch to reflecting Nuke to finish the fight.  In addition to starveils, most players will want an Elixir or Ether2, or even a SomaDrop, to give Fu more damage potential to end the fight more quickly.  With these items, you typically do not see a second big bang with good anchoring and lower battle speed.  Characters that easily get to 1200 HP or can supplement with high attack damage are frequently desired as friends, such as Edge who can [[edge#special_abilities|dart]] or Rydia and Palom whose viruses are both instant cast and faster than most other item or spell animations.
 +
 +Palom and Friends is a variant that uses Palom and fully [[palom#special_abilities|bluffs]] him to maximum wisdom to cast virus at low levels, and is typically a supplement to 1200 strats.

 +===== Wyvern Standard Time =====

 +Refers to very slow battle speeds, since players will often set battle speed to 5 or 6 in order to be able to get starveils off against Wyvern when she'll be using MegaNuke against the party.
