I play on Classic mode dynamic difficulty and take advantage of the purple auto attack materia. Auto Unique, Auto Weapon Ability (AWA). Auto heal on Aerith. Cloud is my main when you put Auto Unique & steadfast block orbs on Cloud he'll do perfect parrys if you hand off control to the AI. You can only equip two characters with Auto Unique but you can equip everyone with AWA orbs. When you unlock the synergy materia place this on a non main team mate. Link it to either Petrify or Comet orbs. Whenever Cloud uses a L1 shortcut ability the synergy attack triggers without requiring ATB or use any MP. These attacks can be triggered often in a fight especially if Cloud rapidly generates ATB charges and it can be OP on mobs.

Just something that I never noticed before is synergy abilities doesn't need a full bar (5 bar), most usually cost 3 bars. After I learned this, I did more synergy abilities.
@dinopower9015 ай бұрын
Yeah it costs 3 at first but i believe if you want to use the same synergy a second time in the same battle it will cost 4 and three+ times probably cost 5

@@dinopower901 huh, didn't know that thanks. Oh another thing that I found is playing on normal is better for me. I thought dynamic would scale enemies upwards to you, but it also scales down. Dynamic difficulty made most battle over pretty quickly, that includes boss battles and challenge battles. I never get to use my synergy abilities because of that. So yeah, normal is the optimal difficulty for me. Kinda wish they would include hard mode but you can use items too from the get go.

honestly a big game changer for me is just setting other party members besides cloud as the leader. it’s tempting to always play him and get comfy with his moveset since he’s almost always locked to the party but it can be seriously nuts playing Aerith full-time and just issuing commands to the other characters

This is very helpful, thank you bro. As somebody who’s favorite game has always been the OG FF7 it was a learning curve for me playing Remake and now i feel even more lost in ReBirth. The synergy abilities and inability to actually upgrade weapons to increase materia slots/damage in this game really confused me but im getting the hang of it. So far the game is absolutely beautiful and im really enjoying it, i just need to get better and learn the mechanics a little more.
