Some useful augment combinations:
Attack, Counter, Draw Attacks | Work pretty well on Cecil against physical attacks through out the game. |
Love, Focus, Darkness, Limit Break | This combination works on both Cecil and Kain depending on who you give Limit Break to. Focus 2 times, enter Darkness mode, then attack using Love augment. I was able to deal 99,999 damage to Geryon. |
Dualcast, Omnicasting, Fast Talker | Provide the most efficiency as a white mage for Rosa. |
Dualcast, Summon, Bluff, Fast Talker | Best overall as a black mage/summoner for Rydia. Bluff doubles intellect, hence, replace it with something if you maxed out intellect. |
Brace, Draw Attacks, Phoenix | Best for tanking high damage bosses. |
Throw, Hide | While hiding, Edge and still use Throw, this make him invincible. |
Aim, Hide | Rosa can do it as well, this is for fun only because it's not practical since Rosa's role is support. |
Stardust Rod (as item), Counter, Draw Attacks | This allows Rydia to cast Stardust instantly at the cost of 0 MP when she is hit by physical attacks. |
Salve, Item-Lore | Use items on entire party with double effectiveness. |
