How to Beat Every Summon Boss Fight in FF7 Rebirth
Of course, all this information doesn’t do you much good if you don’t know how to beat some of the harder Summon Bosses in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Fortunately, we’ve taken the time to dissect each battle and provided some general tips to make them as painless as possible. Below you can find info on how to defeat each Summon in the order that they become fightable.
How to Beat Titan in FF7 Rebirth
Given he’s the first Summon you can take on in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Titan isn’t too tough to overcome. Or at least, he isn’t so long as you have the right Materia equipped.
Head into the fight with at least two of your better spellcasters with larger MP pools. We recommend Aerith for one of these slots, as her stats predispose her to powerful magical attacks. Tifa is a solid choice for the other slot, especially if you’ve unlocked her Reverse Gale ability via the Sylph Gloves.
For the last slot, Cloud or Barret are some of your best choices. Cloud can counter most of Titan’s attacks with his Punisher Mode, while Barret can block and weather most of Titan’s damage output.
Finally, make sure all of your party members are equipped with Aero Materia. Titan is weak to Wind magic, so this spell is one of the easiest ways to pressure and stagger him.
During the battle proper, Titan has a few different abilities he can implement on top of standard attacks. All of them are listed down below for your convenience, along with the best ways to deal with them.
- Thwack: A strong physical attack. It can be blocked or countered more easily than it can be dodged.
- Earthen Roar: A shockwave attack from below you need to dodge away from. Its areas of effect are shown as glowing yellow patches on the ground.
- Stone/Stonera/Stonega: Titan casts a version of the Stone class of spells according to your level. Can be blocked or dodged.
- Mountain Crusher: A strong physical combo attack. It can be blocked and countered, and is a great opportunity for Cloud to deal some damage and pressure via Punisher Counters.
- Sling: A grapple attack that binds whoever it hits. You can break your teammate out of it with pressure or stagger via Aero spells.
- Earthen Aegis: Ups Titan’s defense with a destroyable shield, but can only damage it with physical attacks. Destroying the shield puts Titan in a pressured state.
- Granite Shell: A shockwave attack. It’s best to dodge away from it or pressure and Stagger him before he lets it off to avoid any damage.
In general, you’ll want to hit Titan fast and hard. Keep the damage coming until he gets Staggered, and then pummel him with Aero spells and Limit attacks for maximum damage. So long as you stick to this strategy, you can expect him to go down within two Staggers.
And that’s all we have on how to get every Summon in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
