Learn all Custom Valkyrie attacks in final fantasy vii rebirth, including Modified Mk. 98 Rotary Cannons, Flame Jet, and Antipersonnel Gas.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The Custom Valkyrie has two phases, with the second beginning around 60% health.
  2. 2
    Equip Lightning and Wind Materia on all party members, as the boss is weak to both elements.
  3. 3
    Focus on building ATB in the first phase to cast elemental spells, especially during the boss's Cooling Protocol to increase pressure.
  4. 4
    Understand the boss's attacks:
  5. 5
    Modified Mk. 98 Rotary Cannons: Fires minigun rounds. Can be blocked.
  6. 6
    Flame Jet: Shoots a stream of fire from its arms. If from both, fire remains on the ground. Unblockable.
  7. 7
    Firewheel: Spews flames and spins. Unblockable; keep distance.
  8. 8
    Antipersonnel Gas: Releases gas that inflicts Deshell and Sleep status. Unblockable, no damage. Equip Headbands to mitigate.
  9. 9
    Aileron Roll: Spins and charges across the screen, leaving a persistent flame trail. Can be blocked.
  10. 10
    Cooling Protocol: A non-attack phase where the boss is more susceptible to pressure.
  11. 11
    Modified Particle Cannon: Occurs at the start of the second phase (after a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically)). Charges and fires a laser. Unblockable, but dodgeable. Appears to fire three shots and may only be used once.
  12. 12
    Mark 100 Particle Beam: Introduced in the second phase. Similar to Rotary Cannons but with lasers. Unblockable; requires dodging.
  13. 13
    For the first phase, block or dodge attacks like Rotary Cannons and Aileron Roll. Other attacks are unblockable.
  14. 14
    Red XIII is more vulnerable due to his grounded nature; dodge and immediately hold attack to stay airborne with Cloud and Red XIII to avoid aerial attacks.
  15. 15
    When the boss is pressured, use abilities to build its stagger bar.
  16. 16
    After reaching 60% HP, a cutscene triggers the second phase, starting with the Modified Particle Cannon.
  17. 17
    The only other new attack in the second phase is the Mark 100 Particle Beam.
  18. 18
    Control Cloud or Red XIII more often due to Aerith's lower mobility.
  19. 19
    Keep health topped up and exploit elemental weaknesses.
Tips
  • Use Lightning and Wind Materia to exploit the Custom Valkyrie's elemental weaknesses and build pressure.
  • Dodge attacks like Modified Particle Cannon and Mark 100 Particle Beam to avoid damage.
  • Equip Headbands to characters to help resist the effects of Antipersonnel Gas.
  • Staying airborne with Cloud or Red XIII can help avoid many of the boss's attacks.
