== Strategies ==<br />
<br />
=== Preemptive Encounter ===<br />
Aps can be fought as a [[Preemptive Boss Battles|Preemptive Boss Battle]].<br />
<br />
==== Fast Aps ====<br />
Enter the battle with a braver on Cloud.<br />
<br />
Hold Up+Circle to throw grenades with everyone, then hold Down+Circle to Braver with Cloud. Aps will do a Sewer Tsunami. Throw grenades with everyone until Aps dies (reselect grenades with Cloud the first time)<br />
<br />
==== Slow Aps ====<br />
If you don't remove any materia from Cloud, he is more likely to do too little damage with his Braver to kill Aps with the fastest strategy, requiring him to use a second Sewer Tsunami for additional damage. We can speed up this version of the fight by choosing who we throw grenades with to get the fastest possible grenade throwing animations.<br />
<br />
After the first Sewer Tsunami, defend on Aerith's next turn and queue a grenade with Cloud and then Tifa. Aps will use a Sewer Tsunami after Tifa's grenade, then queue another grenade with Tifa to be used after that should kill.<br />

<br />
=== Non-Preemptive Encounter ===<br />
Using a Magic attack on Aps will change its AI mode so, for the next four turns, it does: nothing, Sewer Tsunami, nothing, Reverse Sewer Tsunami.<br />
<br />
Aps starts the fight with a Sewer Tsunami. Cloud uses Bolt for his first attack on this fight for this script manipulation, then everyone throws grenades. Aps will use one more sewer tsunami.<br />
<br />
If the first Sewer Tsunami of the fight gets Tifa her Limit Break, then her fast ATB recovery speed allows her to get another grenade in before Aps' next Sewer Tsunami, and that results in dealing enough damage before Aps' Reverse Sewer Tsunami to kill. Otherwise, Aps will do a Reverse Sewer Tsunami before the last grenade is thrown. A strategy is used on [[Air Buster#Tifa Cloud Barret|Air Buster]] to make this likely to happen.<br />
<br />
== AI Script ==<br />
<br />
=== Start of Battle ===<br />

Use Sewer Tsunami* on all targets<br />
OpeningAttack = 1<br />
<br />
ElseIf (SewerTsunami == 0) Then:<br />
3/4 Chance:<br />
If (any opponent is on the back row) Then:<br />
Use Tail Attack on random opponent on the back row<br />
<br />
Else:<br />
Use Tail Attack on random opponent<br />
<br />
1/4 Chance:<br />
If (2nd opponent is alive) Then:<br />

<br />
=== Counter (Physical) ===<br />
<pre><br />
If (HPDanger == 0 AND Self HP < 1/3 * Self Max HP) Then:<br />
SewerTsunami = 1<br />
HPDanger = 1<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
=== Counter (Magic) ===<br />
<pre><br />
SewerTsunami = 1<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
== Statistics ==<br />
<br />
=== Preemptive Battle ===<br />
Chance of killing with the standard strat based on the number of materia on Cloud and random stat rolls:<br />
<br />
* with no materia removed: 73.78%<br />
* with 1 materia removed: 95.45%<br />
* with 2 materia removed: 99.49%<br />
<br />
Given a Braver damage roll, here are the chances that Aps will die on the last grenade and not use a Sewer Tsunami:<br />
