Complete Materia are the pink orbs players will buy, find, and be rewarded with inFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth. They are a returning Materia type from the original game and in the first remake. Complete Materia is kind of a stand-in for armor in this game.
Players can equip bangles which will increase stats and accessories which will imbue heroes with certain bonuses. For example, they can deflect fire magic or negate status ailments. Besides that, there are no other traditional armor pieces inFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth, making Complete Materia necessary for rounding out a hero’s build. Let’s go through some of the best Complete Materia then.
8Gil Up
Location: Gold Saucer (Chocobo Square GP Exchange)
Money can often have a funny name in RPGsand in mostFinal Fantasygames it’s called Gil. Gil Up then is a Materia that increases how much Gil players will earn from battles. After a while Gil kind of becomes useless as there is an item crafting menu that is free to use given players have the correct materials.
However, Gil can also be used as a weapon once players acquire the Spare Change Command Materia from Chadley. This will allow players to toss Gil at enemies for a hefty amount of damage.
7Item Master
Location: Grasslands Port
Item Master increases the potency of items during combat. For example, a potion can be boosted to heal more with this Materia equipped and the more Item Master levels up, the greater the boost will be. This is another Complete Materia that can become better if it is combined with a Command Materia.
Item Economizer allows players to use items freely during battle without having to worry about ATB charges although its uses are not unlimited.Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’saforementioned crafting systemwill be useful in making the most out of items too.
6Synergy Support
Location: Buy From Chadley (Gongaga Region)
One of the biggest additions to combat inFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthis the Synergy system. If characters use spells or skills in battle, they will gain one point to then use in the Synergy menu. Once two characters have enough points, they can perform Synergies together like Cloud and Tifa smashing into an enemy with a powerful spin.
Synergy Support is a Materia that will give characters a Synergy point if they simply witnessed one being performed by two teammates. It’s a small boost but every little bit helps as Synergy attacks can help turn the tide of battle.
5Vitality Up
Location: Grasslands Battle Intel: Plain Stalkers (Combat Simulator)
Characters can equip one piece of armor and an accessory and that’s it. There are Materia that can increase stats though like Vitality Up. Vitality is the stat that can increase defense. So, a fully maxed-out Vitality Up Materia can make a huge difference not to mention if characters equip multiple slots with this Materia.
Aerith would be a good characterto equip this to since she is more vulnerable in the field.
4Strength Up
Location: Corel Battle Intel: Sand Slitherers
Strength Up is the polar opposite of Vitality Up as it can increase attack power in battle. Since Cloud has to be in the party in almost every situation, equipping him with this Materia would be a good idea. He already has a high Strength stat but there’s nothing wrong with an overpowered character.
Players may also want to consider leveling the playing field so that lower-powered characters could have a better chance in battle. It all depends on who players like controlling such as Yuffie who is a more versatilecharacter than Cloudbut has a much lower attack.
3MP Up
Location: Mt. Corel
Casting spells with Magic Materia, which are the green orbs, requires two things in this game. Characters need MP and they need their ATB gauge filled. Most characters, even spell-casting juggernauts like Aerith, don’t have high MP stats.
That’s where MP Up comes in handy as it will increase a character’s MP stats by a certain percentage which will level up. Every character could benefit from an MP Up orb, but players may want to focus on characters they equip the most Magic Materia to like Aerithor Cait Sith.
2HP Up
Location: Combat Training: Beginner’s Hall (Combat Simulator)
HP Up acts the same way as MP Up which will increase a character’s HP by a percentage. Unlike MP Up, HP Up is almost a required Materia that every character should have equipped at all times. It can be found in multiple places besides training with Chadley as it is one of the easiest Materia to buy after that.
It might not even be a bad idea to equip characters with two HP Up pieces at a time as they take a while to level up. Pairing them with one ofFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth’srarest Support Materia orbs, AP Up can help raise the level quickly though.
1First Strike
Location: Grasslands Battle Intel: Horror on the Range (Combat Simulator)
First Strike is the best Complete Materia inFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthand it should be leveled upas soon as possible. Every level within this Materia will fill up a certain part of the ATB gauge. At max level, players can begin combat with a full bar and a half, ready to go.
Whoever players control the most should get this Materia such as Cloud. Alternatively, characters that are harder to increase their ATB gauge with, like Aerith, could also benefit from First Strike.
