Cid Pollendina: Oh, shut up and help me remodel the C. ability page!
Please expand this article into a full one. This request can be discussed on the associated discussion page. Remove this notice upon completion.

C. abilities, also referred to as Command Abilities, are a group of spells and other abilities in Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis. These are the main actions used in battle. Each one consumes a set amount of the user's ATB gauge in order to perform an attack or some kind of support ability.

Typically, weapon abilities cost 4 ATB gauge parts while materia abilities cost 3. Healing abilities usually cost 5, regardless of the source. There are exceptions to all of these.

Every attack C. ability has an element and sigil assigned to it, although these slots can be empty. These assigned traits cannot be changed. With two otherwise identical C. abilities, such as the abilities on two different Aero materia, there are three factors that typically lower the damage potency if the ability has them:

Weapon abilities

Each weapon has a single C. ability. 3 and 4 weapons have a generic ability shared amongst other weapons. Once the weapon reaches 5, it gains a unique ability instead, which is generally more powerful and has additional effects. The two abilities a weapon can have will generally bear the same element and sigil.

Common abilities

Most abilities have variations, such as a version that comes equipped with a sigil. Additionally, some characters have altered potencies for common abilities across all their weapons. Characters who favor physical damage in this manner have an additional 20% potency for physical abilities (or 10% for all-targeting abilities), at the cost of losing 20% potency for magic attacks.

5★ common abilities

Some weapons are obtained in an easier manner without using the gacha. Often they are obtained with time-limited currency usable during events. Perhaps as a result of them being easy to guarantee the acquisition of multiple copies for overboosting, these weapons tend to be overall weaker than the others. They also have generic C. abilities which are still stronger than those of 3 and 4 weapons.

Like unique abilities, these can be upgraded by overboosting the weapon and have three tiers. For the two lower tiers, the stats shown in the description column represent the base level of that tier. Once the ability reaches its third tier, it cannot be upgraded any further.

Materia abilities

Unlike weapons, the player can own multiple copies of any given materia. Different copies can be leveled up and can also have a rarity from 1–5★—both the level and the rarity have an impact on the C. ability's potency. The effects shown in the description column represent the maximum level and rarity of the ability.

Gear abilities

With the 3.2.0 update on November 27th, 2025, C. abilities were added to select gear, with the feature being rolled out to some older ones over time. Gear is typically released alongside a matching weapon - these abilities are usually a more powerful version of the C. ability from that weapon. If the gear's ability is equipped, it replaces the C. ability of the materia in the character's first slot.

Like U. C. abilities, these cannot be upgraded and can only be used a limited number of times per battle.
