Arcane Ward Notes & Tips

  • Arcane Ward greatly increases a character's damage output, as any offensive Magic Materia spell cast within it will be triggered twice in the same action. It is best used against bosses with exploitable elemental weaknesses.
  • When any spell is cast from an Arcane Ward, its second use will deal less damage but use half of its normal MP cost.
  • If paired with a HP Absorption or MP Absorption Materia, spells cast from within an Arcane Ward will greatly reduce the need for healing abilities and items.
  • Players will need to fill up the ATB gauge in order to use a skill, on the other hand, skills can be improved through repeated use which fills up the proficiency gauge, once it is full, the skill becomes available at any given time, even when the weapon that has the skill is no longer equipped.
