Summary
Magic Materiais one of the most common types inFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth. They are the green orbs which allow players to actively cast spells. Instead of creating characters with magical Jobs like Black Mage or White Mage, heroes can equip Magic Materia.
For example, Fire Materia enables players to cast Fire, Fira, or Firaga depending on its level. There are healing spells as well, like Cure, which are unlocked by utilizing Healing Materia. The Materia system was an Interesting mechanic in the original game that the first remake andFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthcarried over well. So, of the many Magic Materia pieces inRebirth, what should players use the most?
7Empowerment
Increase Attack & Magic Power
Empowerment is a support-based Magic Materia that has two spells attached to it. The starting spell is called Bravery and increases a character’s attack power for a limited time. Casting it on acharacter like Cloudwould be a good idea since most players will probably main him in the game.
Once leveled up, players can also gain the spell Faith from the Empowerment Materia. This will increase a character’s magic power, so it is best to cast it on a character like Aerith. Anyone who uses a lot of spells in battle would benefit from this too ifAerith isn’t in theirRebirthparty.
6Cleansing
Cure Or Resist Status Effects
Cleansing will give players three spells, starting with Poisona. This will cure a character afflicted with the Poison status effect. Esuna will, basically, cure every other status ailment, which is a big step up from Poisona.
The final spell is called Resist, which preemptively allows a character to resist status effects. This is a new spell forFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthas it did not exist in the original version ofFinal Fantasy 7.
5Time
Speed-Up ATB Gauge Or Slow Down Enemies
Time is a great Materia that gets even better when paired with the Magnify Materia inFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Magnify acts like the All Materia from the original game; essentially, it allows characters to cast support spells on the entire party. Alternatively, it can hit all enemies in battle with spells like Fire.
Time covers three spells, including the starter, Haste. This will increase how fast a character can raise their ATB gauge, and it’s the best spell of the bunch. Slow will regress how often an enemy can attack and Stop will halt it completely.
4Healing
Basic But Effective: Heal HP
White Magesare an essential part of building a good party withinFinal Fantasygames. Aerith fits the role the best, but any character can become a White Mage equivalent with Materia like Healing. This Materia has four spells, starting with Cure.
Cure, Cura, and Curaga will all heal a certain amount of HP, and that amount can be increased with Support Materia like Magic Focus. Magnify would be a good one to pair this with as well as Time. The other spell, Regen, heals HP too, but at a gradual level over time.
3Fire And Ice
An Elemental Combo
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthhas four core elemental Materia that players should attempt to have access to since enemies are often weak to one of these. These are Fire, Lightning, Ice, and Aero, although Poison and Petrify Materia are cut from the same cloth. Those are all great offensive-type Magic Materia, but there is something better than individual orbs like Fire.
In theGrasslands region ofFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth, players can buy a combo Materia called Fire and Ice from Chadley. This gives players the ability to use Fire and Ice spells while only occupying one slot. Other combos can be bought from Chadley later in the game, including Lightning and Wind or Poison and Petrify.
2Comet
Perfect Answer For Enemies Resistant To Elemental Attacks
Some monsters are strong against all elemental types, making it hard to Pressure orStagger them inFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth. That’s why there is Magic Materia like Comet, which is non-elemental. It takes a while to cast, so equipping it alongside Support Materia like Swiftcast is not a bad idea.
Comet will hurl a series of comets at enemies randomly, and its beefed-up version does the same. Equipping this type of Materia to a spell-casting background character like Aerith is wise, especially if Swiftcast isn’t available yet.
1Reraise
Revive & Revive Again
Reraise will be one of the last Magic Materia that players get inFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth. To buy it from Chadley, players must first complete all the Protorelic quests in the six land-based regions. Once done, that will reveal Gilgamesh’s Island, which holds the optional boss fight with the franchise’sreoccurring antagonist, Gilgamesh.
Casting Reraise on a character will automatically revive them in battle, which is useful in Summons boss fights like Odin who can kill the party automatically in one hit. The nice thing about Reraise is that it can be used repeatedly in a battle, no matter if the characters die once or a hundred times.
