Squall Leonheart

Quote: "I won't have anyone talking about me in the past tense!"

Squall is an enigmatic loner who suffers from extreme solipsism. He is not easily excited, In fact, he is not ever excited. Squall joined SeeD at a young age, and quickly established himself as a gunblade specialist. Having suffered a great tragedy as a child, Squall is described as uncaring and, in Quistis' words, "not very social." While his vast amount of apathy seem to make him the perfect heartless soldier, what Squall's friends don't know is that he is actually a very kind and insecure person. Squall hides himself behind a cold wall of solitude so he will never experiance again what scares him the most: someone he cares about leaving him behind.

Squall is easily your party's most powerful character. This is good, since he must be in your party at all times. His gunblade is a very versatile weapon that is guaranteed to hit the enemy every time, even if Squall is blinded. When junctioned properly, Squall can deal a massive amount of damage to any enemy before it has a chance to strike back. His limit breaks are also deadly, especially the dreaded Lion Heart. This limit break is so powerful it is almost regarded as cheating by FF veterans.

My favourite use for Squall is as a shock trooper. Equip him with a GF that has the "initiative" ability and then junction him to have high strength and HP. This guarantees him to have the first strike in battle, and he will hit every time due to his gunblades accuracy rating of 255. As soon as possible, equip him with either 100 sleeps or 100 pains to knock most of your enemies out of the match at the get-go.

Tip: In case you haven't figured it out yet, press R1 right as Squall strikes to deal more damage. The same goes for his limit break.
