Advanced Combat Strategies — Final Fantasy VII Remake Guide

Advanced combat in Final Fantasy VII Remake involves strategic Materia setups and character roles. For chapters like 8, 10, and 11, a common strategy involves Aerith as a magic magnifier with MP Absorption + elemental Materia, Cloud as a Synergy user, and Tifa as an ATB builder and Synergy spammer. Understanding boss mechanics, like Abzu's pressure points or Ghoul's unique resistances, is key to efficient combat.

  • Use MP Absorption + (element) and Magnify + (same element) on Aerith.
