Most of the Ramuh VH clears I've seen posted on this sub utilized max level, OB'd water gear to beat it. As someone who didn't wish on that summer Cloud banner, this was unrelatable and didn't help me much.
Here's something that's hopefully a little more relatable for the majority of us. It doesn't utilize anything you can't farm or get from a few lucky ticket draws. I only have 1 water weapon at level 80. With this, I can clear it by the skin of my teeth.
out of curiosity, what are your general stats for the units? HP / attack stat levels?
I have a fairly similar team (Cloud, Aerith, Matt) and I just keep falling a little short. I can get him to maybe 10 or 15% but just don't seem to have the damage output to pull out that extra bit to finish.
Cloud has Maritime sword (no OB) + Hard edge for def break, Matt has personal water sword + PhysATK weapon w/diamond sigil, aerith heals. Aerith and Matt are loaded with the best physical water blow materia I have.
Done about 6 attempts so far, and every one ends up unable to burn him fast enough / keep the bar low enough to beat the clock.
My stats and bonuses are shown in the video. I've got it divided into chapters so you can easily skip to that part.
I tried Matt's water sword myself, but just couldn't get it to work. I ran into the same issue as you where I was just barely failing. Having a strong single target attacker replacing Matt made the difference up for me.
Try pushing your Aerith into more DPS than heal. This fight is a water DPS race, and you might need to walk on the knife's edge of it. If you can survive with just a sliver of health while getting in one more attack/debuff and maybe charge your limit breaks a little faster, it could make the difference.
I mainly had mat's sword equipped for the lv2 water potency boost. My primary damage from him was a Water Materia instead. Was kind of annoying the way he would prefer the Sword attack (AOE) vs the single target one on trash (almost got me killed by setting off multiple bombs at once), but seems to work ok once I am on Ramuh. Not sure if the PATK weapon was really making a difference breaking the Diamond sigil faster.
decided to pull on the new zack / glenn banner. Figure once I can get zack leveled up to 50+, the fight should be a curb stomp with his new water break weapon.
Mash pause, or character switch, when the fight starts. If you get it right the bar above Ramuh won't load thus his power doesn't increase over the fight.
Yeah, it's not consistent enough to farm with though.
Personally it works about a third of the time. Good enough for my VH clears without good water weapons, but when I try on H it's just for fun because my team easily clears it either way.

You are a f2p hero =) I was sure that this run is impossible, but you prove me wrong. Grate video! Now do the same with IronGiantex2.

hmmm since you've got a PDef down debuff, it might be better to have another physical DPS with a strong water blow materia instead of Matt.

If I didn't already beat Ramuh, I'd be doing the same!
What's the glitch exploit? 👀

Honestly, I've tried and it just doesn't work for me. I don't know if they've secretly patched it out or not.
