Cloud performs Cross-slash, one of his limit breaks.

Limit Breaks are a type of ability that can be equipped to characters in Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis. They are one type of L. ability.

Most characters have three limit breaks. They are unlocked through each character's statstream, with the first one unlocked by default. The remaining ones require the player to perform a set of missions unique to that particular ability. Only one set of missions per character can be set as active at a time, and progress towards inactive missions will not be tracked. Once the initial node has been unlocked, more nodes open up on the statstream for leveling up the limit breaks.

Limit breaks[]

The effects shown in the description column reflect the ability at max level.
