Learn how to acquire and utilize powerful Enemy Skills in Final Fantasy VII Remake. Discover the best strategies for learning these unique abilities to overcome any challenge.
Hey there! So, you're diving into Final Fantasy VII Remake and want to get a handle on those awesome Enemy Skills? Great choice! These abilities can seriously change the tide of battle, and learning them is key to mastering the game's combat. Let's break down how you get them and what you need to know.
How to Get the Enemy Skill Materia:
- First things first, you need the Enemy Skill Materia. You can get this from Chadley, but he won't just hand it over. You'll need to complete some of his Battle Intel tasks. Specifically, you'll need to complete Battle Intel #16. Keep an eye on Chadley as you progress through the story – he's usually found in the Sector 7 Slums or Wall Market areas.
Learning Enemy Skills:
- Once you have the Enemy Skill Materia equipped on a character (it doesn't matter who, but it's often useful on Cloud or Tifa for their offensive capabilities), you need to find enemies that use skills you want to learn.
- When you encounter such an enemy, you need to let them hit the character equipped with the Enemy Skill Materia using the specific skill you want to learn.
- Important Note: Not every enemy ability can be learned. Only certain ones are designated as 'Enemy Skills' that can be added to your repertoire. The game will usually give you a notification when you successfully learn a new skill.
- After learning a skill, it will be added to the list of available abilities for the character who had the Materia equipped. You can then use it in battle, often consuming ATB charges.
- Battle Intel is Key: Keep up with Chadley's Battle Intel reports. Completing them not only helps you get the Enemy Skill Materia but also unlocks new Materia and summons.
- Experiment: Don't be afraid to let enemies hit you (with the Materia equipped, of course!). You never know what cool ability you might learn.
- Check Your List: Regularly check the 'Enemy Skills' section in your Materia menu to see what you've learned and which ones you still need.
- Specific Enemies: Some of the most useful Enemy Skills come from tougher enemies or bosses. Be prepared to revisit areas or challenge optional bosses to learn them all. For example, the 'Spirit of the Forest' in the Mythril Mines uses '9-Lives', a great offensive skill.
Mastering Enemy Skills is a fantastic way to add depth to your combat strategy in Final Fantasy VII Remake. Happy hunting!
