Materia Combos

[shipp6107]

What are the best Materia Combos (most useful, unique, etc.) not limited to pairs... any combo of materia that works synergistically with each other in a cool way

[Yesha]

Materia combos? Mmm..

*Full cure (mastered) + (mega) aLL (mastered) or *Restore (mastered) + (mega) aLL (mastered)

aLso..

*Any eLement attack (fire, Lightning, ice.. etc.) + added effect (mastered)

*Any eLement attack (fire, Lightning, ice.. etc.) + magic counter (mastered)

*Any eLement attack (fire, Lightning, ice.. etc.) + eLementaL (mastered)

I used it on my party members.. aLso I use HP PLus on them so that they would have more HP (better effect if it's aLready mastered!) That's how I pamper them.. :-)

[Unknown Entity]

My favourite? Master Cure/Lightening/Fire/Ice/Life + Master All.

W-Summon + Knights of Round is badass too... if you have the patience to get 64000 Battle Points AND breed a Gold Chocobo... ><

Final Attack + Phoenix = LIFESAVER. But I hear it can only be used 6 times... >>;

how about w-magic, quadra magic paired with ulitma or comet2, and hp<>mp switch

[winterborn86]

I think I better write some of these down might make the game abit easier for me. I have never really understood materia combos so hardly ever use them, I've only ever done a link up on, Cure and All

[shipp6107]

How can you play without using materia? That's one of the things that makes this game one of the best of all time. Go on gamefaqs.com for way more

Hooo boy, I used to know a Ton of these.

<W-summon> and <KOTR>==<Hp Absorb> <Hades>

W-summon KOTR and Hades. This paralyzes and can inflict a ton of status effects on whatever it doesn't kill, while returning a ton of HP to you. It's a nearly foolproof way to kill Ruby Weapon.

<Counter (the blue one)>==<Mime>

Counters with the last action performed. If that action was, say, the combo listed above, you just redid it for free when you got hit, recovering your hp, and possibly paralyzing.

If I recall Added Effect + a Mastered Destruct Materia can cause instant death.

<Sneak Attack> + <KOTR or Any summon>

Has a chance of opening the battle with that summon. Great way to easily get a head start on your enemies.

<Quadra Magic> + <Ultima>

I find this to be more useful than the typical Quad Mag BahahumtZERO combo, since Ultima has a much faster animation sequence, and hits about as hard.

<Final Attack> + <Phoenix> or <Revive>

As Unknown Entity said, an absolute lifesaver.

If you attach multiple counter attack materia I believe you can counter attack an attack that many times, though I haven't tested it. Say....3 counter attack materia = three counters after each attack.

That's all I can think of for now.

[Dean Winchester]

I'll list some from the guide, i haven't tried all of these so don't complain if they don't work

Mega-all, deathblow-HP absorb/MP absorb
Mega-all, steal[mug]-HP absorb/MP absorb
Cover,counter, counter,counter-deathblow
sneak attack-steal[mug], mega-all
pre-emptive,sneak attack-knights of the round, hp<-->mp

[ViviMasterMage]

W-Summon using Bahamut ZERO (paired with Quadra Magic)
Phoenix materia paired with a mastered Final Attack Materia
Haste + All

[Pete]

I've always been a big fan of added effect+ contain. It'll cause random status effects based on how much you've mastered it.

[markandrewkinzett]

That all depends on the situation obviously some are common sense like Restore-All, Phoenix/Life 2-Final Attack. I like to use KOTR-HP Absorb when fighting the weapons but there are many different combinations that can be tried if you are not sure on one just try it and see you never know!!!

[Kyreaan]

I feel like I gave some of my best combos away already in other threads. I remember a Quadra Magic I put with Ice if I wasn't using Element on Cloud's weapon. It worked pretty well with Demi also. 4x Strike was nice with Mime. I liked using the weapons with 4 pair of slots as a usual. Alexander with Element on Tifa's weapon was fun. There were also Enemy Skill with MP materia types I messed around with. I'll think about it later.

[Dimwitted]

may note some of these combos down might be handy ha

[The_Dream_Recluse]

FullCure + MasterAll is my personal favourite. I also like Contain/Comet + MP Absorb, and Ultima + HP Absorb
