Key Takeaways:

  • Cloud’s main role in combat is as a close-range damage dealer.
  • He can switch between operator mode and Punisher mode, each with its own unique abilities.
  • Operator mode offers a five-hit basic combo, wide-area attacks, guarding, and dodging.

Combat Strategies:

Cloud’s operator mode allows for a versatile range of attacks, including a five-hit basic combo and wide-area attacks. The Punisher mode focuses on increased damage and parrying incoming attacks. Aerial combat has been improved in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, with the ability to perform gap-closing rush attacks and dodge attacks that send out projectile blade beams. Synergy skills, such as bullet batter and spell blade, offer additional combo options. Cloud’s abilities, such as focus thrust and braver, are powerful attacks that can be used against pressured or staggered enemies. Equipment recommendations include Precision defense material for easier parries and blocks, elemental material for added elemental damage, and the enemy skill material for access to powerful abilities like plasma discharge and Sonic Boom.

Equipment Recommendations:

For material, consider using Precision defense, elemental, and enemy skill material. Weapon choices vary depending on your playstyle, with the sleek saber offering high physical attack and ATB charge rate bonuses, the umbrell blade providing defense and HP bonuses, and the Rune blade focusing on magical attack. The Champions belt is a recommended accessory for increased stats, but can be swapped out for end-game challenges and VR missions.
