Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade Best Weapons
Below are the best weapons for each playable character in FF7 Remake Intergrade. Each weapon focuses on specific playstyles so it is worth switching between them as you go through the game’s main story and take on a variety of enemies and bosses.
All Weapons List and Locations
Cloud
Name | Details |
---|---|
Hardedge | The best physical damage weapon for Cloud when fully-upgraded. The Hardedge is best used when leaving the casting of offensive and support magic to other characters.
The Hardege is can be purchased at the Wall Market weapons shop (Chapter 9). |
Twin Stinger | The fully-upgraded Twin Stinger provides a good balance of physical and magic attack power, making it the most versatile sword in Cloud’s arsenal. This weapon builds on Cloud’s natural spread of attributes that highlight both melee combat and spellcasting for taking on most enemies near the end of the game.
The Twin Stinger is obtained in Shinra Tower in The Drum after reuniting with Barret (Chapter 17). |
Tifa
Name | Details |
---|---|
Metal Knuckles | This capitalizes on Tifa’s strengths which are speed, physical damage output, and ability to quickly stagger enemies with combos and abilities.
The Metal Knuckles are obtained after defeating Crab Warden (Chapter 5). |
Purple Pain | Purple Pain gives Tifa decent boosts in spellcasting while increasing her critical hit rate and critical damage. This allows her to rush enemies down with ease, especially with equipment that gives increases in her luck attribute.
The Purple Pain is found in a hidden chest at Shinra Tower Lobby (Chapter 16) accessible by clinging on to the monkey bars to cross the gap. |
Barret
Name | Details |
---|---|
Big Bertha | Big Bertha is a natural option for Barret, granting him increased physical damage and HP to endure some punishment himself.
Big Bertha is purchased at Sector 6 slums (Chapter 13). |
EKG Cannon | Barret’s strengths in ranged combat can be complemented with some boosts in magic damage to make him more of a well-rounded party member. The increases in critical hit rate and critical damage are also great when peppering enemies from afar to build ATB bars.
The EKG Cannon is obtained after paying Hart 10,000 gil after speaking with Domino in Shinra Tower (Chapter 16). |
Aerith
Name | Details |

Mythril Rod | The best weapon for Aerith when building her as a pure mage character. Mythril Rod offers the best boosts in magic attack while increasing her MP to cast more spells.
The Mythril Rod is found at the Train Graveyard (Chapter 11). |
Reinforced Staff | The Reinforced Staff grants Aerith increased survivability to compensate for her low physical defense and HP while still offering good skills for using magic.
