Find Elemental Materia in final fantasy vii rebirth by completing Chadley's VR battles in Chapter 4 and Chapter 9. Learn its weapon and armor effects.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Elemental Materia adds elemental damage to your weapon or elemental defense to your armor when equipped in a paired socket alongside any elemental attack materia (Fire, Ice, Lightning, Wind, etc.). The order of the paired materia does not matter.
  2. 2
    Equipping Elemental Materia in a weapon socket grants elemental damage to your attacks.
  3. 3
    Equipping Elemental Materia in an armor socket grants resistance to that element's damage.
  4. 4
    For example, pairing Fire Materia with Elemental Materia adds fire damage to your weapons and fire resistance to your armor.
  5. 5
    Combining multiple elemental attack materia with Elemental Materia can grant multiple damage types and resistances.
  6. 6
    Be aware that enemies can resist, ignore, or absorb elemental damage, making weapon-based Elemental Materia situational.

Elemental Materia Levels & Effects:

  • Level 1: Adds 8% linked elemental damage dealt; Halves linked elemental damage taken.
  • Level 2: Adds 15% linked elemental damage dealt; Prevents linked elemental damage taken.
  • Level 3: Adds 23% linked elemental damage dealt; Absorbs linked elemental damage taken.

AP Costs for Leveling:

  • Level 1 to Level 2: 2,500 AP
  • Level 2 to Level 3: 7,500 AP

Elemental Materia Locations:

  • There are only two orbs of Elemental Materia in the game.
  • Chapter 4: Complete Junon Battle Intel: White Squall.
  • Chapter 9: Complete Gongaga Battle Intel: Distant Tremors.
  • These are obtained by developing materia with Chadley after completing the specified Fiend Intel and winning the subsequent VR battle.
Tips
  • Elemental Materia is generally more potent for defense than offense.
  • Leveling Elemental Materia requires significant AP and is difficult early in the game.
  • Scanning enemies with Assess Materia will reveal their elemental weaknesses and resistances, helping you decide how to equip Elemental Materia.
  • Bosses like Midgardsormr (fire attacks) and Quetzalcoatl (lightning attacks) can be significantly easier if you have resistance or immunity to their primary elemental attacks.
