Optimal weapon pairings for each character

Aerith

During the CBT, Aerith was a staple in nearly every team setup. The rationale is simple – she’s the best healer in the game. Hence, she proves indispensable in any situation. Moreover, she deals with substantial damage to the earth and lightning areas. It doesn’t get much better than that.
Recommended Weapons: Sun Umbrella / Wizard Staff (DPS) – Fairy Tale / Mythril Rod (Healer)

Barret

Barret excels in long-range, non-elemental attacks and is incredibly useful owing to his wave-clearing prowess. He has access to specific weapons that allow him to reduce opponents’ physical defense. If you’re forging a physical team, he’s your go-to.
Recommended Weapons: W Machine / Assault Gun

Cloud

When it comes to FF, Cloud is often the first character that comes to mind. In Ever Crisis, he undeniably reigns as the premier Lightning damage dealer, securing him a spot in S-Tier.
Recommended Weapons: Murasame / Apocalypse

Glenn

Glenn provides remarkable physical damage to individual targets. He arguably has the highest damage output among characters. Later on (upon reaching limit break 2), he gains an AoE ability. The downside is that lightning and earth damage are presently more favorable.
Recommended Weapons: Jiggy Fam / Piece of Cak

Lucia

Lucia functions as a primary damage dealer who can also deliver crowd control through silence, preventing enemies from utilizing skills for a duration. She deals both water and wind damage.
Recommended Weapons: Pulse Gun / Serpent Gu

Matt

Matt acts as a single-target damage dealer who can double as a pseudo-healer in several team combinations. He’s particularly adept against certain bosses as he provides debuffs alongside high damage output.
Recommended Weapons: Any S-Tier weapon combination

Red XIII

Red XIII is a character who can heal his allies with his regeneration skills while also applying some debuffs (MDEF, MATK). However, he’s not as effective as Aerith, as straightforward healing is currently more advantageous. If you wish to utilize him, his best role is as support.
Recommended Weapons: Gold Collar / Noble Collar

Sephiroth

Young Sephiroth is the latest character introduced into the FFVII Ever Crisis universe. He stands as the strongest ice DPS available in the game at the moment.
Recommended Weapons: Edged Wings/Aonibi or Shinra Blade.

Tifa

Tifa is the only character who possesses the ability to remove specific debuffs. She has access to various weapons enabling her to transition into a pseudo-healer, though she can also deal sufficient damage. Typically, she is employed as a secondary damage dealer.
Recommended Weapons: Tiger Fangs / Leather Gloves

Zack

Zack serves as a single-target damage dealer with the ability to inflict debuffs on his foes. While primarily a main DPS character, he can also be configured as a secondary DPS/Debuffer.

Yuffie

A captivating ninja and skilled materia hunter. Following the conflict with Shinra, she aims to restore her homeland, Wutai, to its former glory. She joins Cloud and the others in hopes of acquiring their materia.
Recommended Weapons: Cutlass / Arc Sword
