Great materia combos...

What are some of your favorite materia combos. Post you favs here.

Well, for this, I had to boot up my game, I hope it doesn't go unappreciated!

...Actually, I went for full materia set-ups instead, I hope that's okay. I went just a teensy bit overboard, which is why I needed everyone to have their Ultimate Weapons (even though some of them aren't very good), and everyone's packing a Wizard Bracelet. It's weak, but it has the right amount of linked slots. Every materia has been mastered, so that Double Cut allows 4x-Cut to be used, and Slash-All has become Flash instead, et cetera.


Cloud

Double Cut + Long Range;
W-Item + HP Plus;
Master Command + HP Absorb;
Master Command + MP Absorb

Master Summon + W-Summon;
Master Magic + W-Magic;
Phoenix + Final Attack;
Odin + Added Effect


There's nothing ultimately clever about this set-up, the only valid combinations in this set-up ensure that Cloud absorbs HP as well as MP with every attack, is immune to instant-Death, and if something hits him for 9999 damage even while he's in the back-row, Phoenix will make him supernaturally unkillable. It's not fancy, but it works like a charm. The Long Range effectively doubles his defense and allows him to hit flying enemies, far and between as those might be.


Yuffie

Slash-All + Mega-All;
Master Command + MP Absorb;
Master Magic + MP Turbo;
Master Summon + MP Turbo

W-Item + W-Magic;
W-Summon + Enemy Skill;
Revive + Final Attack;
HP Plus + MP Plus


Again, nothing that'll blow your socks off, Yuffie can either use instant-death versus all, or Morph versus all which also does heaps of damage, considering it's the Conformer she's packing. She can't leech HP with this set-up, but she knows a guy who can, so she can just Mime Cloud. If there's enough left to leech, that is. If not, she can use magic and items to keep herself from bleeding to death.


Cid

W-Magic + Mega-All;
Master Command + MP Absorb;
Master Magic + MP Absorb;
Master Summon + HP Absorb

Magic Plus + Speed Plus;
HP Plus + MP Plus;
Destruct + Added Effect;
Revive + Final Attack


Cid relies on MP to do a lot of damage with the Venus Gospel, so I made it so that he'd always have loads of MP. And I also made sure he'd put the MP to good use if and when he'd attack with it. I could've omitted the Magic Plus and Speed Plus if I had boosted his stats more in the Gelnika, but after maxing out Cloud and Yuffie, I'd seen enough of the Gelnika or so I figured!


If you thought the above combinations were cliched, I still had bucketloads of materia left, so I distributed them among the rest of the characters, and their set-ups are even less inspired! Sit back, if you please;


Tifa

Double Cut + Long Range;
Deathblow + HP Absorb;
HP Plus + MP Plus;
Steal + Counter

Ultima + Quadra Magic;
Contain + MP Turbo;
Destruct + All;
Luck Plus + Enemy Skill


Vincent

Slash-All + W-Summon;
Speed Plus + Speed Plus;
Speed Plus + Magic Plus;
HP Plus + Luck Plus;

W-Item + Enemy Skill;
Restore + All;
Bahamut-ZERO + Typoon;
Knights of the Round + HP Absorb


Barret

Shield + Ultima;
Mega-All + Alexander;
HP Plus + MP Plus;
Luck Plus + Speed Plus

Comet + Quadra Magic;
Contain + Quadra Magic;
Time + Steal as well;
Cover + Counter Attack


Red XIII

Double Cut + Enemy Skill;
Hades + Added Effect;
HP Plus + MP Plus;
Speed Plus + Speed Plus

Mime + Counter;
Steal + Steal as well;
Manipulate + Sense;
Luck Plus + Long Range


And, last and least...

Cait Sith

Deathblow + Added Cut;
Deathblow + HP Absorb;
HP Plus + MP Plus;
Speed Plus + Long Range

Comet + MP Turbo;
Gravity + HP Absorb;
Exit + Steal as well;
Shield + Slash-All


Well, there you go. They're not the best combinations imaginable; or even the best combinations I could think of, but Cloud, Yuffie and Cid are pretty much indestructible with this; the rest was just for kicks.

I'm only naming one:

4x Cut and All put together,

Yea I know it's awesome and then i have Cure and All put together just need a HP Plus for my healer need too get one again.

Ok I got some here they are.
Gravity+Quadra magic(against Emerald weapon).
Pheonix+Final Attack.
KOTR+Mp absorb I think that is good because every attack has no draw backs and then I can use other summons.
Bahamut Zero+HP absorb.
W-Summon+ any summon+ mime (even if you don't have enough summon power the mime person will still attack).
That's all I have right now.

No one said that, you silly man!

I like to have sixteen mastered Counter Attacks on Barret with the Missing Score equipped. Whenever hit, you do sixteen attacks back at approximately 81/16 of normal damage.

If we're going for outrageous counter-attacks, my money's on eight Counters linked to eight mastered Double Cuts instead. Sure, it's ridiculous, but entirely gratifying!
