Best Weapon For Tifa In Final Fantasy VII Remake

ORIGINAL POST

I have seen some forums list her Leather Gloves as her best and others list Sonic Strikers as her best but I think that these are old

So what are her best because I want to shoot for getting her best loadout and maxing her

Sonic strikers have the highest damage command ability, does 50% extra over other non elemental abilities which is interesting.

But there really aren’t “best” weapons, as cliche as it is to say. Really the focus is on team comps, every weapon is relevant. Say for example you do want to make a tifa carry team, then you’ll probably want Sonic strikers, but some of “her best weapons” will actually be zacks type-99 and or Lucia’s black rifle because they have physical attack and crit bonuses to stack with Tifas weapon.

It all depends on what your overall team plan is. Right now teams that play around murasame cloud is pretty strong and popular, so you would also want to upgrade weapons that will boost lightning potency and phys attack.

Just to give a general idea, every weapon is good and serves a purpose it all depends on what type of main team you want to run. Although even then, in my personal opinion for everyone starting out, get a range of elemental weapons first so you can do high end missions and dungeons before going all in on a specific team build for now.

There's no definitive best as it depends on what kind of style you want to play her. Personally I like using her as a debuffer so Leather Gloves and Tiger Fangs are the best for me (lower PATK and MATK)

The game has a ton of customization , so you will be hard pressed to find a single good answer.

It boils down to how you want to build a character.

Example : If you want cloud to be a Thunder God - getting Murasame and his Gear, is vital for that

But if you dont care about thunderdamage - you can skip them entirely.

Back to Tifa - Leather gloves debuff enemies PATK, so against melee heavy enemies, she's a machine at reducing the damage your team takes.

But if you already can do that through other means / materia / character, it becomes less useful ( bear in mind, I think her leather gloves are the easiest way to apply HIGH tier debuff right now - could be wrong )

So its all about what you want characters to do, as some weapons will perform better than others

It depends but generally you want tifa to be the secondary attacker which means you want her to be a debuffer as well. Kaiser knuckles let's you decrease the targets magic defense, or another debuff glove that I can't remember the name. There's also motor drive which gives a strong physical wind damage which is rare which makes it useful and sonic strikers have a strong physical attack as well.

Which weapon for Tifa?

Posted by cho-den · in r/FFVIIRemake · 1 year ago

Building Tifa - best weapons in your opinion?

Posted by Zeghart · in r/FF7Mobile · 2 years ago

I'm currently using the Cloud/Aerith/Tifa trio and building Cloud was pretty straightforward, just aim for the most single target damage and give him sub weapons that boost ATK/PATK. With Aerith just slap Fairy Tale on her and focus on boosting her heal.

But with Tifa I'm not really sure what to do. I know she's supposed to be a debuffer/subdps, but I'm not quite sure if it's better to go fully into the debuffer role or try to strike a balance with some more offensive skills.

I luckily pulled Leather Gloves and Tiger Fangs which debuff the physical and magical attack of an enemy respectively, and since her Limit Burst also debuffs their phys/mag defenses and charges quickly, that means I can really pile up the debuffs on bosses which is pretty nice.

However I noticed that those two weapons' R. Abilities don't really mix well (Leather Gloves increase physical defense and lightning resist, Tiger Fangs increase Magic Attack and Crit Potency) and she just tends to do pretty low damage. Do you think it would be worth it to aim for one of her weapons that does more damage like the Sonic Strikers and swap out one of her debuffing weapons, or is it better to use her as a dedicated debuffer? How do you build your Tifa?

To me she's just a breaker, looking at her weapons, this is all I can find her being. So I got both her PATK and MATK down weapons and that's what she's gonna wear for now regardless of the R Abilities. To me she's not here to deal the damages.

Zeghart · OP · 2 years ago

Thank you for the reply, those were my thoughts as well. Fully debuffing a boss is definitely very valuable, even if she ends up doing middling damage on her own. Though some of her weapons do seem to have potential - the Sonic Strikers if I'm not mistaken have the highest possible multiplier of any weapon currently in the game, with a whopping 990% when maxed out

Maybe I'll try her out as a dedicated dps later on when I'm done building Cloud and have materials to spare

Dethsy · 2 years ago

Yeah but I've seen a lot of passive like a few minutes ago, because I just used the "Recommanded build" for most of my gametime but I'm reaching levels where it seems it starts to fall off quite a bit (Damn last boss of the First Soldier story). Anyway, it's quite rare on any characters to have R Abilities that synergise with each others outside of maybe 2 or 3 (thinking about Cloud Masamune/Hard Edge and Glenn With his scythe and his thundara axe, don't remember their names right now).

I feel like they made a very wide variety of abilities on purpose so that later we feel more tempted to pull for other weapons to complete our synergies between weapons 🤔 Which is fine IMO but still.

But until then, some characters feel odd to build. Like Aerith, last time I checked, only her Curaga A weapon gives her bonus heal...

Anyway, we'll see.

She is a debuffer... she protects your team by debuffing the enemy PATK and MATK. Weapons like Tiger Fang Gloves and Sonic Striker allowed her to debuff both physical and magical attack.

It's a really good unit, or it will be in the future, but right now it seems that debuffing Defenses is better (Barret does that iirc), or going with 2 strong DPS for boss fights.

I agree, later on you'll probably want to have multiple teams to deal with different encounters - this early in the game though, it's probably best to focus on one team so you can increase your team's power and can tackle those harder enhancement quests as soon as possible. Spreading those early enhancement materials too thin between many characters usually isn't a good idea in gacha games

She's a debuffer and physical attacker. You want her primary weapon to be a debuffer, secondary a physical attack, then give her a debuff ability, a second debuffer or a buff, and then a damage skill. Personally I'm using Kaiser knuckles for magic defense down so that aerith can hit hard with blizzaga, and cloud can hit pretty hard with thundara, then the second weapon was one of her physical attacks I can't remember which but it's not important, then I equipped her with ruinra blow, debraver and barrier. This way she's able to keep the enemies magic defense down as well as reducing the enemy attack and the enemies physical defense through her limit break as well as being able to increase my team's defense and deal secondary physical damage behind cloud

Best Weapons for Tifa Lockhart + Best Build

Posted by dirkval2143 · in r/FFVIIEverCrisis · 2 years ago

Tifa is a versatile character. She is effective at both physical and magical damage and excels in debuffing enemies for both offense and defense. Her Limit Break includes a built-in DEF and MDEF debuff. Depending on her main weapons, she can also debuff attack and magical attack, making her an ideal sub DPS unit and debuffer.

Now, let's talk about her best weapons:

First, there are the Tiger Fangs. They grant Tifa the ability to debuff the enemy's magical attack. Use the command right before the enemy uses a magical attack to increase your party's chances of surviving it. Tiger Fangs deal 540% PHY Non-elem. damage to one enemy with a crit rate of 10 percent. They boast the highest physical attack but have the second-lowest magical attack and heal among all her weapons. They boost magical attack and crit as their R-abilities. However, their sub-abilities are geared towards physical bonuses, making them a good sub-weapon for a physical attacker, but not ideal for a debuffer since we want to use the command ability to debuff.

Next are her Leather Gloves. Similar to the Tiger Fangs, they deal 540% PHY Non-elem. damage to one enemy, but instead of debuffing magical attack, they debuff the enemy's attack. They boost physical defense and lightning resistance. As a sub-weapon, they increase physical attack and fire attack. Use the command ability right before the enemy uses a physical nuke, and your party will likely survive. They are also a good choice to improve Tifa's bulk, offering a physical defense boost as one of their R-abilities.

Next up is the Kaiser Knuckles. They deal 480% MAG Non-elem. damage to a single enemy and have magical def and ice resist as R-abilities. The command can debuff the enemy's magical defense. They can be useful on magical attack-heavy teams; however, they are not as needed since Tifa already has DEF and MDEF break on her Limit Break. As a sub-weapon, they increase physical and magical attack.

Number four is the Motor Drive. It's the perfect weapon for wind-weak boss fights. Although not many early bosses are weak to wind, it's worth building if you have it due to the rarity of wind damage weapons. It deals 790% PHY Wind damage to a single enemy with no other gimmicks. It boasts the second-highest attack base stat among her weapons. Coupled with its R-ability of boosting physical attack, it becomes her most damaging weapon. It also boosts wind damage. As a sub-weapon, it boosts physical attack, so you can use it when not dealing with wind bosses.

Number five is the Crystal Gloves. These are really useful early game since many enemies are weak to lightning. They deal lightning area-of-effect damage, great for clearing out waves of enemies, even if they aren't weak to lightning. They boost HP and lightning damage. As a sub-weapon, they increase magical attack. They are one of four lightning-based weapons in the game, so invest in them if you have one.

Last but not least is the Sonic Striker. If you really want Tifa to hit hard, this weapon is for her. It boasts the highest physical non-elemental damage multiplier of 990% when maxed out. However, it doesn't offer anything more than raw power. It boosts physical and magical attack and water resist. As a sub-weapon, it boosts physical and magical attack.

One of my favorite ways to build Tifa is to equip her with Tiger Fangs and Leather Gloves. This way, she can debuff both physical attack and magical attack. Coupled with her ability to debuff physical and magical defense via her Limit Break, she becomes a really great breaker.

For wind and lightning weak enemies, swap out one of her weapons with Motor Drive and Crystal Gloves, respectively.

And that's it for Tifa's best weapons so far. If you found this useful, please consider sharing and commenting on the video guide here: https://youtu.be/chflJQCjFTI

I think people are really sleeping on the Lifeguard weapon from the featured banner.

The threshold for which she uses them is MUCH lower than when Aerith uses Curaga from Fairy Tale.

On auto, Tifa will use them when characters are missing 30-40 percent of their health while Aerith seems to wait until 60 or so percent is missing. It’s saved my butt a few times when I forgot to swap from auto to semi auto in 90k plus fights.

Plus, AOE heals have proven already to be incredibly invaluable. Yes it does make her a bit weaker in the DPS, but having a second character be able to do AOE heals with Aerith/Matt takes some of the strain off them to do other things in battle.

I was really hesitant to pull for them but I figured what the heck. I’ve been very happy with getting them and honestly I’ve considered swapping priority in farming stuff from my 31k Cloud to Tifa at this point.

Tifa still does well with Lifeguard/Tiger for me. But it’s just the fact the threshold for which she uses the aoe heal is so much lower than Aerith makes the weapon amazing for me.

Fubseh · 2 years ago

Statistically, at 5* Fairy Tail is the better healer at (53/5) 10.6 potency/ATB while Lifeguard has (38/4) 9.5 potency/ATB, which is over 10% differance.

At max stats, both weapons have the same potency (54/4 vs 67/5) per ATB of 13.5 so the Lifeguard Wraps could be considered the better option.

More regular healing isn't neccecarily a good thing. I don't think we have reached a point where we are too worried about ATB economy and optimisation, but you could argue that spending 8 ATB guages for two Ligefuard heals is worse than spending 5 ATB bars on one FT heal. The 'right' answer probably comes down to the fight, how regularly you need to heal and what you want to do between heals.

Fully agree. I am pushing 90k power content now and running my team very defensively with Cloud as DPS hyper carry. I could be wrong in the long term, but for the most part I see people scoff saying you need more dps in this game.

But when an enemy nuke goes off, Tifa providing a Lifeguard heal to bolster the team while Aerith charges up her Curaga is invaluable to make sure someone doesn't go down to a chump hit following up.

Plus, on Auto, as you said it just runs smoother with Tifa's heal threshold being lower. Keeps you healthier for the nukes and then having both of them afterwards as mentioned above keeps you healthy and safe while Cloud does his job.

I actually use her as my Healer/Debuffer so I use her with:

Lifeguard Costume

Lifeguard Wraps+ Grand Gloves

Subs: Prime Number/Fairy Tale/Crystal Sword (Will swap in when needed later Assault Gun for Ice Resistance when I eventually get it for fights that can use it)

This gives me Boost Heal, Fire/Lightning/Earth Resist Boost HP and Boost Water Prof.

When it's just me (@30k Power atm) switching in Co-Op to guard stance she's still doing ~1200 Heals on everyone and Vigor is an emergency self heal that's healing for ~75% of my hp aswell as a Poison/Silence cleanse

With the current gear the "Best healing" option for Tifa if everything maxed out would be the following:

Lifeguard Costume

Main Weapon Grand Gloves

Second Weapon Lifeguard Wraps

Sub Weapons: Guard Stick

The Above would give you +90 Boost Heal meaning Any of the other Heal weapons maxed out will give you another +13 for the 100 Threshold, allowing you to interchange the 3rd with whatever the fight dictates be it resists, more MDEF/PDEF, Limit Break damage. w/e

Now this is all far off whale territory but it atleast let's you know to choose Guard Stick+Grand Gloves as rate ups.

It's hard to beat Tifa's Unbridled Strength, just for how defining it is to her playstyle. Really satisfying to build your way up to big combos and stun damage, spend it on the big finishers on a Staggered enemy, and then build back up. It's not the same satisfaction you get from hitting a button and getting a big hit right away, but it makes her whole combat rotation so fun and unique.

Premium Heart seems weak because it has a rather awkward hidden powerup factor: It multiplies the base damage it would normally deal by the Limit Level Tifa is currently set to and by the percentage of her Limit Meter that is currently filled. So, assuming you have her set to Level 4, she needs her Limit Meter 75% filled to have the same multiplication factor Cloud and Cait have when they are at max HP or that Cid and Red have when they have max MP. So she works best when you have at least one Command Materia on her that gives a command that doesn't replace the Attack command and also does damage for free. So things like Deathblow or a Steal materia leveled up to where it gives you the Mug command.

Ruby and Emerald are both designed to absolutely demolish a normally geared up team, regardless of level, but they go about it in different ways.

For Emerald: There are two major things that create pressure on you in the fight. One is a 30 minute time limit, which can be removed by equipping an Underwater materia on any of the active party members. The other is the Aire Tam Storm attack, which hits all party members and deals each one it hits damage equal to 1111 * the number of materia that character has equipped. But the time limit is plenty of time to win the fight. and Aire Tam Storm can't be performed unless one of the 4 Eyes it has is alive. The Eyes are worth killing anyway, as they do single target attacks, two of them hitting HP and two hitting MP, though the Eyes do regenerate. giving each character a reliable attack to hit all enemy targets (like the Slash-All materia or the Slash-All that the normal Attack command becomes when they have Mega-All materia equipped), or a leveled up DoubleCut materia giving you 4X-Cut on random targets, will let you take out the eyes quickly to disable the Aire Tam Storm attack while also still damaging Emerald itself. Having at least one character with Final Attack=Phoenix is also a good idea. Any character who has a plan to use magic should probably have either a reliable way to gain MP back with MP Absorb or a healthy supply of Ethers.

For Ruby: Ruby starts the fight immune to damage and will eject random party members from the fight until only one is left standing, then will shift modes into a vulnerable state. However, Ruby only counts alive party members, so if you start the fight with 2 characters down, you can wait for the shift, then revive the other two members, turning what was intended to be a 1v1 fight into 3v1, making it much easier. If the fight drags on too long, it will shift back to invulnerable and start ejecting people again, so you still can't take your time, but it does give a lot of turns before it does that.

Emerald isn't too terrible as long as you don't equip too much Materia, I remember I even forgot to equip the Underwater to prevent to fight clock.

This is for Ruby weapon and I don't recommend it because it took absolutely forever as a gimmick meme build, but it went vaguely something like;

Cloud - Ultima Weapon / Mystile / Ribbon
Weapon Slots - Added Effect/Hades, HP Absorb/Double Cut
Any Slots - Counter/Double Cut (as many as you can muster, or Counter Attack), W-Item?
Items - Hero Drink x99 / Elixir x99

I forget if I was smart enough or had the patience to get multiple Mimes to pair with Counter to spam Omnislash, Final Attack/Phoenix depends if you care about losing.

But the idea was spam a bunch of Hero Drinks to power up a bunch of stats, Cloud's HP needs to be at max so his weapon will do full damage (Mystile 50% dodge goes a long way), regular attacks should inflict "Stop" against Ruby and drain the HP back if you take any hits.

Pretty much Cloud just constantly attacks/counter attacks with x4 cut and eventually kills the thing, sometimes you might have to use an Elixir if you get unlucky taking a few hits.

Phatz907 · 1 month ago

My ng+ is mostly spear, after abandoning it the first time. I can see the potential. With a full stack of skyborn might it’s absolutely magnificent but that’s also kind of its problem… it needs skyborn might (lots of it) to really shine.

That’s not really a problem in of itself, but the spear has probably the jankiest way to generate it out of all the weapons. With duals you just swim in it. With longsword every second hit generates it, which gives you a very consistent supply. One hander you just passively get it. With the spear you have to convert… and as far as I know only two disciplines actually convert spear stacks into might. This also, doesn’t have to be a problem in itself but you really don’t want to cast solar leap or upward force with no might… the take literal ages to activate… so you’re stuck in a catch 22: you maybe able to get all 5 might stacks if you can convert successfully, but they’re slow. They need might to activate instantly.

Another problem is that spear basic attacks just feel slow and the animation doesn’t take advantage of its main strength: its range. Wuchang uses it like a staff, and a slow one at that. I’ve seen enough Wuxia to know that pointy stick can move a LOT quicker.

When you have the might though, spear is just a beautiful, dance of destruction. It arguably has the best heavy charge attack in the game. Some of the weapon skills are just downright nasty. Steam powered weapon skill + charged heavy will cave in a boss. If they just adjusted how night is converted and make the light attacks a little faster it’ll go a long way into making the weapon not only viable, but a favorite. Axe and duals have incredible clash potential and longsword is beautiful in its versatility. One handlers are magic machines but spear is lacking in all of these.

For Cloud, Tifa. They look cute together. They have a shared history.

Aerith is destined to be with another person anyway. The real SOLDIER.

But I like Aerith. She's adorable.

this broken weapon combo carried me through entire game, share your go to weapon combo.

Posted by anome97 · in r/LiesOfP · 2 months ago

Truly a devastating combo. R1, R2 is fast and charged R2 can close the distance between enemy and us. I prefer using fable after doing a fatal attack while enemy is still recovering. Blade has high stagger chance and it can even break poise of some big elite enemies.

It's dlc, but Maniac's Pinwheel with the Live Puppet Axe blade.

this is my old favourite combo except I used pistol rock drill blade occasionally with city long spear. Both blade and handle fable deals crazy stagger damage.

Furious Slash takes to long for my liking. I usually use my fable arts to break the enemy's stagger bar (if they are mid combo I throw a shot put and then use my other fable before riposting). Plus I think the scaling on the Maniac's Pinwheel handle is unbalanced for the Axe blade. Genuinely OP damage numbers (I haven't played since the week the dlc released).

MJOLNIR HEAD + BOOSTER GLAIVE HANDLE.

Before I got the Mjolnir I used the wrench head instead, same handle. BUSTED MOVESET with high damage output from the big blunt weapons

Good old booster glaive is always a reliable handle. I'll try this combo thank you.

Yeah this was me honestly. Default weapon carried, and then salamander blade on the handle during DLC NG+ really clutched up for me.

I don't really have a broken build I go for. I just use whichever weapon skills I like the most and that tends to be the katana (for parries) and the gunblade because it looks slick af.

Gunblade combos are so classy. I just found that running R1, R1+R2 (R2 again if theres window to complete) has fast combo chain than regular R1+R2 combo.

Holy Sword of the Ark, alternate form. I always tell myself to change my weapon for another playthrough and still finishing it with my favorite.

Best setup for Tifa?

Posted by SKTIMP · in r/FinalFantasyVII · 5 years ago

I just got the powersoul weapon for Tifa and was wondering what is the best set up for her so she can be powerful.

Powersoul is strongest when tifa is under death sentance, this can be done with death force. This is an enemy skill you can learn near the corel area. This will make her attacks 4x as strong.

A second option is the death force enemy skill. This prevents a party member from dying. This will keep tifa in critical health and double attack damage output.

However I do not recommend either of these, and would instead use a different weapon altogether.

I tried using death setance on tifa, but idk see the timer, why is that?

Not sure, perhaps she has a ribbon on? You can get the same effect from using a curse ring also which you can get in mideel, along with a boost to stats.
