Get Blast Wave Materia in Crisis Core: FFVII Reunion

AntMag.NET

Alright, so you're looking to snag the Blast Wave Materia in Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion? Smart move! This stuff is super handy for taking down tough enemies quickly. You've got a few different ways to get your hands on it, so let's break them down.

The main ways to get Blast Wave are through Materia Fusion, as a reward from certain missions, or by stealing it from a specific enemy called the Martial Tank. You can technically get it pretty early, around Chapter 4, by completing mission 7-5-5. But fair warning, getting to that mission involves completing a whole chain of other missions, starting with 7-2-1: Search and Destroy. If you're going for that early unlock, be prepared to tackle some challenging fights and maybe even dabble in Materia Fusion to create Darkness and HP+ Materia, plus grab some good accessories. Some of those 7-Star+ monsters can one-shot you if you're not careful!

Here's a quick rundown of where you can find it:

Chests: Look for it in Missions 7-5-5 and 7-6-4.
Steal: You can steal it from the Martial Tank in Missions 1-4-4 and 7-4-4.
Reward: Mission 3-3-6 gives it as a reward.
Materia Fusion: You can fuse Graviga (M☆) + Assault Twister, Graviga (M☆) + Jump, or Vital Slash (M☆) + Libra (M☆).

Now, about stealing from the Martial Tank: Blast Wave is its normal steal. If you end up with an Exploder Blade instead, don't sweat it! Just press Start, choose to forfeit the battle, and try again. This is way faster than letting the enemy defeat you, especially if your HP is low. If you're having trouble with the steal itself, equipping Brigand's Gloves is your best bet for a guaranteed grab.

So, what makes Blast Wave so special? It's got this awesome unique mechanic that works a lot like an instant death spell, but here's the kicker: enemies can't resist it because it doesn't rely on a status effect. This means you can instantly knock an enemy right out of the battle arena, effectively defeating them on the spot. It's a popular recommendation in a lot of early leveling guides because it's relatively easy to get and incredibly effective at clearing out groups of enemies fast.
