How to Pressure an enemy in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
In Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Pressuring enemies is crucial for succeeding in boss battles and completing various objectives, such as Fiend Intel. However, not every enemy has the same Pressuring method, so it’s important to understand how to effectively Pressure an enemy in different scenarios. Utilizing the Assess Materia frequently will be essential for your success.
To Pressure an enemy, you need to deal sufficient damage using attacks that exploit their weaknesses. Equip one of your characters with the Assess Materia and use an ATB charge to gather information about the enemy. After the initial assessment, you can easily revisit the enemy’s weak points by pressing the touchpad on the PS5 controller, without consuming additional ATB charges.
Understanding Pressure Mechanics
Generally, the more powerful an attack or spell you use against an enemy’s weakness, the faster you can Pressure them. For instance, using the Blizzara spell is more effective than Blizzard if the enemy is weak to ice. Additionally, chaining multiple abilities or spells that target the enemy’s weakness in quick succession can expedite the Pressuring process.
You will know that an enemy has been Pressured when the term ‘Pressured’ appears beneath their health bar.
Strategies for Pressuring Enemies
Pressuring certain enemies can be tricky due to their unique vulnerabilities. Typically, checking the Assess information will reveal the specific magic type an enemy is weak against. For example, if an enemy like Quetzalcoatl is weak to ice, using spells such as Blizzard, summoning Shiva, or utilizing ice-inflicting abilities like Snow Flurry will quickly Pressure them. Once Pressured, continue using ice-based moves to rapidly fill the Stagger bar, or switch to characters like Tifa, known for their powerful moves that build the Stagger bar efficiently. When the bar is full, Quetzalcoatl will become Staggered, providing an opportunity to unleash your strongest attacks, including Limit Breaks and Synergy Abilities.
Dealing with Complex Enemies
Some enemies, like the Tonberry King, require more strategic thinking. This enemy lacks elemental weaknesses and can only be Pressured when its attacks miss your party. Other enemies may necessitate dodging or parrying their attacks to achieve Pressure, while some, such as the Thunderclaw, require the use of status effects like poison.
If you do not see a weakness indicated in the Assess menu, the details will often be explained in the accompanying descriptions. Pay close attention to these hints to effectively Pressure each enemy.
Good luck as you navigate the world of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and master the art of Pressuring enemies!
