-Normally it takes one turn for an enemy to queue a command and one turn to execute it. This is what allows Big Bangs to be nerfed: Zeromus' magic power is set when the spell is queued, but can be modified by invoking a counter-Nuke before the spell is actually executed.+Normally it takes one turn for an enemy to queue a command and one turn to execute it. This is what allows Big Bangs to be nerfed: Zeromus' magic power is set when the spell is queued, but can be modified by provoking a counter-Nuke before the spell is actually executed.
  
 However, if an enemy script starts a chain, all other battle participants' timers are immediately frozen and all actions in the chain are executed in turn. This allows an enemy to act more quickly and without any possible interruption. However, if an enemy script starts a chain, all other battle participants' timers are immediately frozen and all actions in the chain are executed in turn.

Line 126: Line 130:
 Zeromus only refills his HP and moves into the Nuke phase if he takes (non-lethal) //direct damage//((Note that this includes the MP drain effect from Psych, Lilith Rod, and Succubus)) and his HP is at 16000 or less. Reflected spells bypass this check, allowing for much quicker kills. Reflect strats can be safer too, as Zeromus will not enter the Meteo phase. Zeromus only refills his HP and moves into the Nuke phase if he takes (non-lethal) //direct damage//((Note that this includes the MP drain effect from Psych, Lilith Rod, and Succubus)) and his HP is at 16000 or less.

 +Since the HP refill check does not activate until the first Big Bang is queued, a party with extremely high damage output can actually kill Zeromus without relying on reflected spells. However, any non-fatal direct damage after the Big Bang is queued will cause the HP refill (and transition to Nuke phase) to take place.

 One way to know when Zeromus changes phases is by counting damage, but there are also visible signs of the transition. One way to know when Zeromus changes phases is by counting damage, but there are also visible signs of the transition.
