Best Materia list and how to get them in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
There are numerous materias to be discovered in FF7 Rebirth. Here are some of the best you can acquire for your party!
Steadfast Block
Steadfast Block materiais one of the most useful skills in the game for Barret and Red XIII. As we showcased in our Red XIII Builds, Red XIII takes advantage of the decreased enemy damage and at the same time,fills his ATB gauge much fasterwhile blocking.
Fortunately, the Steadfast Block materia is very easy to acquire, as you only need to complete the missionCombat Training: Synergyin Chadley’s Combat Simulator. you may do this as soon as youescape from Kalmand go to theChocobo Ranch in the Grasslands.
AP Up
AP Upcomes in handy when it comes to leveling and grinding your materiasto upgrade them to the next level. you may easily get this while you’re in theMythril Minesafter Barret and Red XIII go after the robed man who fell into the depths of the mining area.
Auto-Cast
Auto-Cast is a very useful materia, especially if you don’t want to bothermicro-managingyour entire party throughout a fight. It essentially allows the A.I. toautomatically cast a linked materiawithout needing any player commands. You can get this support materia fromChadley’s Materia Development in the Grasslands.
This materia is essential to ourA.I. Barret buildas you can basically leave him be while you fight the enemies with your main characters, andBarret will still heal youwhenever you get low on health. You can also use this for Aerith if you want her to cast a specific spell automatically during enemy encounters.

Enemy Skill
Enemy Skill is one of the most broken materias in Final Fantasy Rebirth. Any character that has this materia equipped will be able to castEnemy Skillslike Soothing Breeze, Sonic Boom, or even Plasma Discharge.
If you’re looking for a solid build, check out ourTifa Build,wherein we showcase the damaging prowessof Tifa with Plasma Discharge. Every ATB gauge you buildprocs a Plasma Discharge(lightning element), and since Tifa can charge herATB gauge a lot quickerthan other characters, you know what’s bound to happen to your enemies.
Precision Defense Focus
Precision Defense Focus gives you a better “parry” window, which means you getmore time to perfect blockan attack, rendering youimmuneeven to blocked damage.Red XIIIand Cloud come to mind when it comes to this materia, as they both excel in countering enemy attacks.
Although Red XIII already has this materia by default, Cloud can get his own Precision Defense Focus materia in the Grasslands area (check the map above). You need to have a Chocobo to get to the island that contains a ton of resources and this materia.
Elemental
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to be a spellblade beast or spellfists monster for Tifa, then you’ll need theElemental Materia. This materia allows your character toimbue their normal attackswith the element of the spell it’s linked to (i.e. Element Materia - Fire would mean your character now has fire-based normal attacks).
You can get this materia fromChadley’s Combat Simulatorwith the mission calledJunon Battle Intel: Conqueror of the Skies. Since this materia is a double-edged sword, I recommend only using this on boss fights with specific weaknesses likePhoenix.

Provoke
Provoke is another essential materia for your tanks. It allows the A.I. to automatically castProvoke, which will taunt the enemies, resulting in your tanks taking theenemy aggroaway from your other party members.
You can obtain this materia from the missionGrasslands Battle Intel: Natural Order from Chadley.Barret and Red XIIIare your main candidates for this materia as they have an insanely high amount of HP compared to the rest of the party.
Cleansing
Cleansing is another vital materia that you should have on at least one member of your party. It grants you the spellPoisona, which is very helpful for some early-game enemies. Once you upgrade the materia, you can castEsuna and Resistat max level.
To obtain the Cleansing Materia, you’ll need to complete the side questWhere the Wind Blows. You’ll need aQuetzalcoatl Talonto fix the windmill. After you transmute the parts needed, a cutscene will play, and you’ll see themateria dropfrom the blades of the windmill.
Magic Efficiency
If you’re asorceress supreme Aerithenjoyer, then Magic Efficiency should help solve your early-game dilemma forAerith’s MP. Since you don’t have much access to your Folio Nodes yet, this can be a temporary solution tolessen your spell’s MP cost. you may grab the Magic Efficiency materia fromChadley’s Materia Development in the Junon Region.
