How to Unlock All of Tifa’s Weapons in FF7 Remake
Players will control four playable characters in Final Fantasy 7 Remake, each of which has access to six weapons. Weapons can be upgraded by spending skill points (SP) to give passive boosts, unlock additional materia slots, and increase base stats. Players can also use special abilities when specific weapons are equipped, which can be learned permanently if players gain enough proficiency. By far the fastest member of the party, Tifa is a martial artist who specializes in hand-to-hand combat.
Using Unbridled Strength while in control of Tifa will increase her Chi level, a mechanic that is unique to Tifa and will allow her to unleash more powerful combo attacks. By default, she will enter battles at Chi level one, but if players unlock the Concentration feat in her weapon upgrades, there is a chance that she will start at level two. There are three levels in total, indicated by the names of her martial techniques: Whirling Uppercut (level one), Omnistrike (level two), and Rise and Fall (level three).
