How to Play AERITH FF7 Rebirth Combat Guide

Little late to the party but I always use first strike and atb boost. (Always start battle with 2 atb)
Cast radiant ward on cloud, ward warp to him, have him and her blast ga spells, then have her use level 3 limit, syphon the 3rd characters limit rinse and repeat

FF7 R3: we didn’t only remove Aerith from your party, but also your Wards… Bwahahahaha

So what's with the small ball of light that sometimes surrounds Arith. Not fleeting familiar, not a regen, mana wall, barrier or a debuff etc. It's a ball that I can't find a reason for. Sometimes it's blue/white sometimes yellow/red... what is that!? Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

How does synergy work tho?

I wish I saw this video before I beat the game because I did not understand how to play Aerith well at all.

It's kinda lame that her magic laser doesn't track targeted enemies as well as being short ranged and that her vampire spell is useless unless used on a staggered enemy. Obvious note here but she along with any character in the OG FF7 can be made into a tank

Why can’t I see Arcane Ward and Radiant Ward at the same time in my abilities? I’m a missing something? Appreciate if someone explains

Aerith always stay on the team. Yuffie is tough too. All the character combat is well designed.

I honestly feel like the game should just by default give you one ATB at the start of battle and the first strike materia shouldn’t even exist. If everyone puts it on all their characters anyway, then it shouldn’t even be treated like they’re giving you the option… it basically just means one materia slot is just never free.

Thanks, I liked Synergy befoe knowing it cost no MP - appreicate u!

She was hard to master.

Thanks for this video this changed my mind about aerith now shes going to be in my main party

I Love the addition of ward shift! It's so satisfying to bait an enemy far away and teleport just as they attack so you have enough time to cast a high level spell without being interrupted + the arcane double damage.

bruhhh i had no idea the synergy doesnt cost ATB! WTF!

Spoiler : there is zero chance i will love the next game more because she won't be in it . Literally the best mage . Ff vii without aerith and arcane ward won't be the same rip

Bodyguard is best used to bring the party to her ward for double spells, rather than running and wasting stagger time. Switch to her teli to her ward if she's not on it, body guard both members switch to one and double cast 2x followed by her 2x double synergy swap again repeat then use her own 2 atb stacks will nuke any boss even hard mode (with fully stack magic users)

How can I use Radiant Ward and Arcane ward with Aerith? I’m 60 hours in and can’t find it. Can you only use this abilities with specific weapons? I’m confused

Aerith with synergy and comet is broken. Literally put anything else on her then play with cloud or Tifa, spam atb attacks and watch aerith just nukes the whole field 😅

Aerith's Synergy with Barret where they both throw on sunglasses and she uses her staff as a minigun is the best ability in the game.

Very informative. I am struggling how to play Aerith.

Her dash changes too when stood on Radiant Ward - longer distance and faster

Radiant Ward also gives Aerith proper dodging ability.

You are my go-to for anything FF7 Rebirth and Remake. Love'n the vids bro. Keep'em coming

I learned a staggering amount from this video. Thanks!

The guides should be updated for the full game (Transcendence needs to be discussed)

How long does it take for Tempest to fully charge and is there a visaul que for it ?

A good strategy with both ward is to position them far from one another like you did when you 1st show ward shift skill. You go into radian ward to boost attacks and build atb, then ward shift to arcane ward when the enemy gets close and you're ready for a cast. You let the enemies get close then ward shift again to the radiant ward. You go back and forth, letting the enemies chase you then and always be on the right ward to either build atb or cast magic

Once i got Radiant Ward it was a game changer

Radiant ward is definitely a must on her. She can dash much further with in it.

I fucking hate this character in combat. All her attacks get interrupted so easily and her damage blows if you can’t get setup. I’m doing a side mission where I’m forced into only using her with no allies and the fireball enemies interrupt my attacks for free always. This feels impossible bro

You mean any character can use Arcane Ward to cast twice, not just Aerith?!

Another great use of the body guard ability is to use it to bring a player to your ward to get the 2 x cast, I guess if you have synergy you could switch to them and get 4 casts for the price of 1 but I haven't got that one yet :P

But now who will be the new nuker in the next part 😢?

Spellbound Blast is her strongest spammable attack, as a Synergy Skill.

Synergy + comet

Thank me later

I keep getting stuck in a melee moveset where she doesnt shoot projectiles and just strikes with the staff and not a single guide on the internet seems to know about it. I cant get it to stop happening or happen when I want to.

What a work they did for Aerith. I hated play the character so much in remake. Same for Barret. Now i love both.

Hey man, will you upload other guides soon?
I need to know if yuffie can go airborne since her abilities say she’s supposed to be able to.
Cuz currently only cloud and tifa can fight airborne.

Come on BItzZ we need a cait sith guide he’s my favorite character since he’s useable this time

You are still living your past in remake. I have to admit this is an op build solely for remake.

You have not seen Yuffie with enemy skill plasma blast , so don't need to assume which character is the best. The game is still new

Synergy plus comet is stupid OP

You make a video on how to use a character and you put yourself on top of the command box. . . . . . . . . . . . Great Idea .

That is not what the word “detrimental” means lol whoops

I'm torn between all the characters tbh... unlike the original ff7 they are all so different that it's fun playing as them all. I have the most fun with Yuffie probably, but I character change dependent on situations (my main pty is Cloud/Yuffie/Tifa). Aertih and Barret got that infinite mp synergy skill that's fun to mess with at times, but as far as blitzing opponents I feel like yuffie/tifa is solid. Yuffie's ninjitsu elemental attacks that don't require atb makes it so she can pressure and stagger elemental weakness enemies fairly easy and I run her with first strike and haste to make everyone get atb faster... Not to mention like aerith she gives cloud that spell blade attack... and since a lot of enemies are more weaker to magic.. I made cloud have high magic attack with the runeblade+magic accessory and that attack takes freakin chunks man... for no atb... it's crazy. It has that windup but i've hit for like 4-5k on a single attack shit is OP lol

I've tried different party compositions and for things like bosses I'd say Barret is top tier .. lifesaver+steel guard is still ridiculously useful for keeping everyone alive... which is why it makes sense for aerith to be with him. He soaks up all the damage and she can heal him back up like no other + they have the added benefit of their infinite mp synergy skill (kudos cause it looks dope af too lol) they actually got the other funny one too where they both put on shades/pose and they just go to town shooting magic and bullets at the enemy lol.

Damn too many spoilers

Her Synergy( R1 +) with Cait and Yuffie deletes health bars...at legit no cost

You unfortunately don't get it until later (either Gongaga or Cosmo Canyon) but you can get a Speed Up Materia from the combat simulator.

SPD affects how quickly your ATB fills passively, making it god-tier on Aerith once maxed out.

I love how they basically gave her BLM's Leylines ability from XIV.

Item creation, relation mechanics...feels...star oceanish. It's like rebirth was the result of a breeding of final fantasy and star ocean.

I just got to Cosmo Canyon in my playthrough (Gongaga was so brutal to navigate it took me all day). As good as pairing an elemental spell with Synergy materia is, I bet it'll be real devastating paired up with Comet materia.
