Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisisboasts one of the largest character rosters of any Final Fantasy game. This comprehensive collection is all the better to build a unique party. That said, some are better than others, and the variety doesn’t stop there.
Each character has several weapons to acquire. The sheer number of them can be overwhelming, andthe gacha system makes it difficult to secure any specific tool. Despite those obstacles, players should still strive for certain offensive items. The best ones complement a character’s inborn strengths while warding off different types of attacks. This list aims to aid in determining which ones to keep. With the perfect combination, players can propel characters from good to great, ultimately building the best party imaginable. The only downside is that it makes the heroes' stat disparity all the more apparent.
11Lucia
The Gunner Gets An Earthy Christmas Gift With The Holiday Revolver
Most of Lucia’s weapons are unique. The reason is that they are usually the only physical weapons to inflict certain elemental damage. The Holiday Revolver falls into that category. It can inflict 800% Earth damage with the potential for further boosts. This makes it a viable substitute for Quake: a rare and devastating spell in anyFinal Fantasytitle. Luckily, this gun is guaranteed to match it.
Fans need only look at its base stats. Not only does it sport 422 physical attack points, but its magic attack stat stands at 566. Granted, these aren’t the absolute highest, but the aforementioned Earth focus makes up for that minor difference. Talk about a great Christmas gift.
10Matt
The Slick Beetle Is Great For Both Inflicting And Healing Damage
Matt also plays a dual role. On one hand, he has a respectable attack power with his rapiers. On the other,he’s a potent medic, with AOE healing capabilities comparable to Aerith. As such, players should find a weapon complementing both of these roles.
Enter the Slick Beetle. It has 517 attack points. In addition, it deals 750% physical attack damage to single enemies while decreasing their own attack power. As if that wasn’t enough, it boosts the potency of critical hits by 150% and their rate by 10%. Finally, it contains 224 healing points. These factors make the buggy blade a top-tier tool in both offense and defense. More importantly, it’s a great balance of the two.
9Barret
The W Machine Gives Barret The Best Hand Cannon
One would think the beefy Barret relies on strength, buthe actually straps guns to his arm. The best of these is the W Machine. It carries 555 attack points with 360% damage to a single enemy. Granted, that damage is strictly non-elemental, but the weapon swiftly makes up for that shortcoming.
A few other effects hinder the target and buff the wearer. The W Machine decreases enemy defenses at multiple ranges. Plus, it helps Barret resist lightning damage. How a metallic material resists electricity is a mystery, but fans aren’t complaining.
8Zack
Zweihander Beefs Up Zack’s Strength Beyond Any SOLDIER
Asthe predecessor to Cloud, Zack likewise boasts a batch of giant swords. The best among them is Zweihander. It matches Barret’s W Machine at 555 attack points. However, the 940% physical damage to a single enemy is far superior. With this blade, Zack wipes the floor with the most imposing monsters in just a few hits. Of course, it has other benefits, as well.
Zweihander boosts Zack’s attributes in small ways. For instance, it amplifies his critical hit rate by 10% and adds 50% potency to his physical and magic abilities. These perks may be small potatoes next to his melee damage output, but even the most insignificant stat can tip the scale of battle.
7Sephiroth
Radiant Edge Grants Sephiroth A Heavenly Advantage Over Debuffed Enemies.
Theultimate SOLDIERneeds a weapon to match. Of the katanas at Sephiroth’s disposal, none are more effective than Radiant Edge. Its attack points top off at 561. This is higher than any of his other swords, letting him dispatch foes with a graceful swipe. However, the weapon’s utility comes down to more than raw power.
It also applies a slew of effects. On top of 540% physical damage to a single target, it activates various debuffs. Examples include decreasing enemies' defense as well as their fire resistance. At the same time, it beefs up Sephiroth’s own fire potential. They never stand a chance against a One Winged Angel with the Radiant Edge.
6Yuffie
With The Icy Power Of The Spiral Shuriken, An Aspiring Ninja Is Cold Comfort
Yuffie isa self-proclaimed ninja. Thus, her weapons are shuriken, each with special effects or magical augments. The Spiral Shuriken is the best example, packing 800% physical ice damage into a single target. One throw can freeze the most formidable foes in place. This is only the icing on the cake, though.
The main course is the attack stat. 566 points make the Spiral Shuriken deadlier than any other tool in Yuffie’s arsenal. Such a fantastic mix of power and elemental effects is essential in any battle. Enemies are dead before they ever see the projectile coming. In the end, that’s the point of a ninja.
5Tifa
The Brawler’s Holy Flame Gloves Freeze Foes In Their Tracks
A seasoned martial artist,Tifa excels at hand-to-hand fighting. Her weapons are gloves with various materials to beef up her punches. The knuckles that hit the hardest are the Holy Flame Gloves, which have 573 attack points. With a stat that high, fans might expect the gauntlets' usefulness to be mainly physical.
On the contrary, they also have elemental benefits. No, they don’t inflict fire damage as the name implies. Instead, they deal a whopping 800% ice damage to a single enemy. This makes them reliable for many of the same reasons as Yuffie’s shuriken, but even more so. If Tifa can’t knock out her enemies, then she turns them into popsicles.
4Red XIII
The Platinum Collar Helps Red Heal His Newfound Friends
The experiment known as “Red XIII” has no actual weapons since he walks on all fours. Rather, he cycles between a series of collars. In a similar subversion, his greatest strength lies not in attack, but healing.
Red works best as a support character. Like Aerith, his best weapon reflects that prowess. Enter the Platinum Collar. It has 265 healing points. In conjunction, its perks boost that rate by anywhere from 50 to 100%. Best of all, it applies Regen to all allies, trivializing many battles through constant restoration. In essence, he enables his friends to heal themselves without lifting a finger (or paw).
3Aerith
Fairy Tale Cements Aerith’s Place As FF7’s Best Medic
The flower girl has a hefty collection of staves. These are great for slinging spells or swatting enemies. That said, Aerith is a healer at heart. Her utility depends on how her staff complements that.
From that perspective, the best weapon is Fairy Tale. Its base healing stat is 280. Plus, its attributes amplify that rate, boosting her restorative strength by anywhere from 50 to 100%. As an added perk, she resists Earth damage by 50%. It may not be much in the grand scheme of things. If it keeps her alive a little longer, though, she might just save everyone else in one fell swoop.
2Glenn
Physical And Magical Might Ensure Enemies Rest In Peace
The final character thatEver Crisisintroduces, Glenn nevertheless feels familiar to the established heroes. In that, he focuses on heavy weapons packing a powerful punch. Players should look no further than Rest in Peace. This sword’s attack stat stands at 577 points. Its magic power is nothing to sneeze at, either, reaching 419. What’s more, is that it can amplify both by up to 50%. That said, it’s clear which players should prioritize.
Physical attacks are the way to go. Rest in Peace inflicts 750% non-elemental damage to a single enemy. That strength cements Glenn as one of the game’s heaviest hitters. In short, the sword’s name is fitting.
