How to Get Every Weapon for Aerith in Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Over the course of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, players will assume control of four characters and collect six weapons for each one. These weapons can be upgraded by spending skill points (SP), which are earned by leveling up or collecting manuscripts. Upgrades include increasing a weapon’s base stats, granting passive boosts to the character, and unlocking additional materia slots. Players will also gain access to a new ability with each weapon, which can be learned permanently if players gain proficiency in them.
As the only party member who leans heavily on magic, Aerith is at home when used in a support role, as she has an ocean of MP at her disposal. Due to Aerith’s lower HP and slow mobility, players should keep Aerith at a distance during combat, where she can cast spells and deal ranged magic damage by using projectiles from her staves. Aerith also has a special attack named Tempest that can be launched at an enemy quickly or charged up to do extra damage after firing. When charged, players will inflict damage from the initial hit and from the explosion that follows.
