The release of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake has sparked a renewed interest inthe original game.
It’s as flexible as it is complex for those willing to experiment.
Some familiar scenes play out a bit differently.
However, there is so much more to the system than simply mastering individual spells.
One of the best combinations is to mix the Restore materia with All.
This allows you to restore HP to all party members.
This combination might seem elementary to seasoned veterans.
4X Cut and Counter will allow you to counter-attack four times in a row.
Combining it with another materia adds a free attack after the initial materia is used.
Hades does not hit the enemies with Petrify or Stop.
Furthermore, Hades can be used to buff your armor, making you immune to status effects.
All in all, Added Effect is arguably better for offense and putting a stop to a tough foe.
Then you might use Hades to avoid getting hit with obnoxious status effects.
It has many great combinations, but pairing it with the Added-Effect materia may be the most useful.
The Choco/Mog grants you the Stop Spell long before obtaining the Time materia, which is available much later.
The original Final Fantasy 7 summon list features 16 total that you could get.
But not all of them are created equal.
Or even worse, that they absorb.
The last thing you want is to be offering free HP to the enemy.
Better to keep it for yourself.
The Slash-All materia can be found in the Ancient Forest.
