Each set of ALPHABETS stand for each kind of MATERIA. You need to know this to help you understand the FAQ later. Below there are 52 kind of materia. It not all but those in below is which you will need to use later in this FAQ. Since I had categories them into their colour. So, it would make you easier to find when you need it. ,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, MAGIC MATERIA SUMMON MATERIA SUPPORT MATERIA COMMAND MATERIA INDEPENDENT MATERIA (GREEN) (RED) (BLUE) (YELLOW) (PINK) """"""""""""" """""""""""""" """"""""""""""" """"""""""""""" """"""""""""""""""" M2=Master Magic MS=Master Summon AE=Added Effect MC=Master Command LR=Long Range CE=Comet P=Phoenix SA=Sneak Attack ES=Enemy Skill CA=Counter Attack C=Contain HD=Hades CT=Counter WI=W-Item M+=Magic Plus MY=Mystify O=Odin MR=Magic Counter WS=W-Summon S+=Speed Plus HE=Heal AX=Alexander A=All WM=W-Magic MP=MP Plus R=Restore MT=MP Turbo C=Double Cut HP=HP Plus T=Time SW=Steal As Well D=Deathblow MG=Mega All RV=Revive QM=Quadra Magic MI=Mime L+=Luck Plus B=Barrier HA=HP Absorb S=Steal PE=Pre-Emptive P=Poison MA=MP Absorb SA=Slash-All G+=Gil Plus G=Gravity AC=Added Cut MO=Morph L=Lightning FA=Final Attack GV=Gravity E=Elemental NOTE!!!: Don't make this mistake. If the alphabets is opposite, I means like AC & CA, please don't mess them up. They are totally different Materia. Example: SW & WS also different, so take note on this. There's many more!! ===================== 4. Materia Combo FAQ ===================== This materia combo has divided into 3 section. You can get all these information just below. This kind of linking and name are given by me. So, don't ask me why you couldn't find this name in the other FF7 site. Anyway please enjoy yourself. -------------------- 4.1 Blue Materia FAQ -------------------- Blue materia also known as Support materia. Actually it couldn't use like the other materia but it was USE to LINK with others materia!! It can link with Magic, Summon or Command Materia but it couldn't link with INDEPENDENT MATERIA(PINK). So, take note on this. So how could you link?? You could link with WEAPON or ARMOR but NOT ALL OF THEM. You only can link with those which got a link(=). You couldn't link if there aren't any link. Example: ()=() <---- this is the weapon WITH link(=) () () () <---- this armor DON'T HAVE link So, how to link if you already understand it? You must put a blue materia with a materia you wish to link(ONLY Green/Yellow/Red) on the other side of the link. Example: [A]=[L] <--- you had link an All Materia with a Lightning Materia. So, when you use the magic you could hit every enemies with bolt. Get it? If not then try yourself! ---------------- 4.2 NORMAL COMBO ---------------- Description: This combo is quiet common and I bet you should know already but I just like to remind you so you wouldn't miss it while you are in disc 1(because most of the combo you find later can only be acquire after you get to disc 2 or further). By the way, this part combo you only need to use 2 slot. Note: The combo later is base on blue materia. So, you could review the 4.1 Blue Materia FAQ above. ........... All Materia ''''''''''' Description: This is the earliest Blue Materia you could get. This materia can ONLY link with Green Materia(Magic) but not all of the green materia could link with this materia. Below are those Green Materia which couldn't link with All Materia. 1. Exit These are the materia which you 2. Shield couldn't link with all materia. 3. Comet Some of them already got ALL 4. Contain ability by themself. 5. Full Cure 6. Ultima Here are some example of the normal combo you could do: 1. [A]=[L]/[Others elemental materia] So, if you know the enemy weak on which element then quickly change it into the element which suit the enemy. 2. [A]=[R] Yeah, this is a common combo which I think the most effective one. Since you could cure everyone in just around, aren't it important? ................. Elemental Materia ''''''''''''''''' Description: This blue materia could link with any Summon or Magic Materia AS LONG AS it has elemental. So, you know how to use it? If you link this materia in your armor then it would help to decrease the elemental damage(If your Elemantal Materia level become highest then it would be more effective like absorb). If you link in weapon then your attack is added that elemental. Below are some example of summon and magic elemental: Magic Summon Elemantal ~~~~~ ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~ 1. Fire Efreet Fire 2. Bolt Ramuh Lightning 3. Ice Shiva Ice 4. Quake Titan Earth 5. N/A Leviathan Water 6. Gravity N/A Gravity 7. N/A Alexander Holy Let's see some normal combo of this Elemental Materia. Example: 1. [E]=[L] on your weapon Now your weapon has bind with lighting. The good point of this combo are: I)your attack increase if the enemy weak on lighting II)if you hit with weapon then the enemy couldn't reflect it!! 2. [E]=[L] on armor If you bind it in armor then it could decrease the enemy attack on lightning. So, it is effective if you use on the enemy base on lightning magic.(If your Elemental Materia level is high enough, then it could make the damage become half or even absorb it!!) .................... Added Effect Materia '''''''''''''''''''' .................... HP/MP Absorb Materia '''''''''''''''''''' ------------------- 4.4 ULTIMATE COMBO ------------------- Description: This part have many set of materia linking combo. So, all of it I had given it a special desciption and a NAME. By the way all this combo need 16-SLOT. So, you really need to use an 8-slot weapon(such as their best weapon and others specific 8-slot weapon), you also need to use the Wizard Bracelet which can buy in Mideel. That is the way how you could get 16-SLOT. ..... JYHAD ''''' Description: 1 comet you could call it comet, 2 you could call it meteoroid, 3 how bout meteor, 4? Asteroid?, 5 Supernova? HOW ABOUT 8 AT ONCE!!!! DEFINITELY SAME AS JYHAD. If you play before FF9 then you should know how strong is this spell!! Seem like this combo sound nice but is it so powerful? You know the JENOVA in the final dungeon? I killed her with this combo even before my others character can move. Guess what? I only use it once then it dead plus my MP still 999!! HOW COME???? Try yourself!! CHARACTER: BARRET(the best weapon based on AP, as long as he got 9999 damage in physical then who care others) and others character who got high magic. NOTE: I recomended you don't use this combo on RED XIII or CID because their best weapon are based on MP so after you use their MP then their physical damage has deducted. (Althought it absorb back all the MP but sometime before the combo finish, the enemies had already dead) MATERIA: CE(M)x6, QM(M)x1, MT(M)x1, HAx1, MAx1, SWx1, ACx1, M+(M)x1, WMx1, HP(M)x1, S+(M)x1. COMBO: [CE]=[QM] [CE]=[HA] [CE]=[SW] [M+]=[WM] [CE]=[MT] [CE]=[MA] [CE]=[AC] [HP]=[S+] Others:1)You could take out the HP & Speed PLUS and change it into [CE]=[MC] but let me tell you earlier that the MP & HP absorb didn't work in the magic counter. So, its means you must use all those combo with a bunch of MP. That why I had taken out this from the combo and change it into HP & Speed Plus. (By the way I'm not including the MP Plus in this combo because after you get so much Comet, your Mp should get to 999 already!![Get 5 more Comet by letting your previous one get to Master level and born another one then repeat it.]) 2)You could take out all the Comet materia and change it into FIRE/BOLT/ICE materia. This low damage combo work well for those small little enemy but seem if it a boss.. This combo also can absorb HP MP well seem their mp use so little and absorb a bunch MP & HP for you. The materia also easier to master. Best to use while low in MP & HP (I'm not using ULTIMA because it hard to MASTER, used high MP and ABSORB LOW MP) ACCESSORY: TOUGH RING or others accessory you like!! Circlet do well too. (Since I put Barret with this combo. So, I put a Tough Ring for him because this ring suit him well ^_^[increse VIT & SPR]) ========== 5.
