This is a list of weapon skills in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
Each weapon has a set of weapon skills that can be equipped in a limited number of slots. A new weapon skill is unlocked for that weapon as the weapon gains a level, and as weapons level up, they gain additional slots.
Weapon skills have four types:
- Blue stat boosts, such as a boost to max HP.
- Red offensive boosts, such as a damage boost from certain types of attacks.
- Green defensive boosts, such as boosts to heals or ATB recovery.
- Yellow unique boosts, which have a variety of effects.
In the menu, these skills can be set either under "Upgrade Weapons", or under the "Materia & Equipment" menu. Players can use "Auto-Upgrade" to use pre-determined weapon skill slots toward "Balanced", "Prioritize Attack", or "Prioritize Defense" if preferred rather than choosing their own.
