Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthgives players the relationship-focused story they’ve been waiting for. However, combat still plays a key role in the game, as do the various gear items you’re able to collect to improve your character’s stats. WhileCloud’s best weaponsare more self-explanatory, the sheer number of accessories can be overwhelming for players.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: 10 Best Accessories For Tifa, Ranked
If you’re wanting to equip Tifa with the very best in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, this list can help!
However, Cloud has very specific strengths that help narrow down what you should equip. Namely, he is the character with the most Synergy opportunities and a heavy hitter. While he’ll get the damage he needs from weapons and armor, replenishing his Limit Break Gauge and ATB Gauge while staying alive should be your first priority for accessories. Well, here are the top ten accessories for doing that.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
10The Kupo Charm
An Early Game Investment You Won’t Regret
Unlike most accessories in the game, you won’t find the Kupo Charm in a chest or from winning a mini-game. Instead, this item is onlyavailable to those who completed the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Demo. While equipped, this adorable little charm will increase your maximum HP by 5%. Occasionally, it will also include more materials. Not only does the HP help with Cloud’s survivability in the early game, but the extra materials are sure to pay off later.
That being said, the Kupo Charm is unlikely to be on your character past the early game. Feel free to replace it with one of the better items on this list and put it on a nonactive character instead.

Occasionally, the amount of material is increased. Increases max HP by 5%.
9The Fury Ring
A High Risk, High Reward Item
This ring can have a big impact on the battle but could also get you killed. At the beginning of each combat, the wearer of the Fury Ring becomes Berserk. This means that they take increased damage but also deal much more damage. Only use this ring if you are confident in your parrying and dodging capabilities.
The Fury Ring may be too risky for most situations—especially in the late game—but if you are running a low-damage composition, it may help you get past a tanky enemy. An example of this could be whenfighting Gilgameshif you don’t have a secondary damage dealer such as Tifa with you.

Grants Berserk at the start of the battle, increasing damage dealt and received.
8The Hermes Shoes
Coming In At The Speed Of Sound
This accessorygrants Haste to the wearer at the beginning of each combat. This, in turn,speeds up the fill rate of your ATB Gauge- something Cloud benefits from immensely. Many of Cloud’s best abilities, such as Infinity’s End, require ATB charges to use. These abilities tend to deal the most damage and fill the Stagger bar the fastest, so having them available more often is tide-turning in difficult fights.

If you’re wondering which Summons are best in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, look no further!
However, the Hermes Shoes do not provide any straight Ability Score increases, meaning that when the Haste status effect ends, they become dead weight. For that reason, switching them out for an item that has a long-term impact tends to be preferable.

7The Supernatural Wristguards
The Easiest Strength Increasing Item In the Game
The Supernatural Wristguards are among the earlier accessories you’ll find in the game, which is surprising considering their hefty stat boost. This itemboosts the strength score of the wearer by a whopping 10%, which is the highest buff in the game. Additionally, you’re able to later upgrade them into the Full Throttle Wristguards, which have the same Strength Buff, in addition to giving your character extra health.
The only reason this item doesn’t rank higher on the list is that you’ll want to give it to Tifa if she is in your party—her starting Strength is higher, and thus, the percentage buff goes further on her.However, if you’re not using Tifa, feel free to put these wristguards on Cloud instead.

Increases strength by 10%.
6The Chocoking’s Cape
Start Off On Your Most Powerful Foot
The Chocoking’s Cape is received from beating the Gold Cup or Bust Side Quest, which is available in chapter 12. While this is a later addition to your arsenal, it’s still worth a mention becauseit gives you a full ATB Gauge at the start of every combat. This allows the wearer to utilize all their best abilities immediately, such as Cloud’s Infinity’s Edge. Not only will this result in more quickly staggering your foes, but it will shorten fights that otherwise would have taken longer.
Similar to the Hermes Shoes, however, The Chocoking Cape gives you a very front-loaded power spike. While it’s very useful to start every combat with a full ATB Gauge, it is also worth noting that once you use those charges, you won’t benefit from the item at all. This means that whilethe Chocoking’s Cape is a fun item to use in quick fights, it’s not ideal in long engagements- you’ll want something that will continue helping you as the fight goes on.

Fills ATB charge at the start of battle.
5The Corsair’s Compass
Get Multiple ATB Abilities Off Quickly
The Corsair’s Compass is a journey to obtain, as you’ll need to fight off four bosses and then craft it from the resulting fragments. However, its ability topartition the ATB Gauge into 3 segmentscan have a massive impact in battle. Every time you use five commands, this happens, and you canquickly use three ATB charges in quick succession.
While you won’t always have a full gauge when the compass activates, you can occasionally time it perfectly to get off a powerful combo not normally available to you. The best example of this is the use of Focused Thrust followed immediately by Infinity’s End. The only downside to Corsair’s Compass is how hard it is to get and use optimally.

You’ll need to obtain the four Pirate Relics, which are guarded by four mighty enemies. These materials are used to craft the Compass.
Partitions ATB gauges into 3 segments for a short period after using 5 types of commands.
4The Full Throttle Wristguards
The Best Strength Buff Item In The Game
The Full Throttle Wristguards, the upgraded version of the Supernatural Wristguards, areamong the most powerful items in the game. Not only do they grant the wearer a 10% Strength increase, but they also increase your HP by 500. Crafted at the item Transmuter using the other wristguards and some Zinc Ore, they’re also pretty easy to get.

Sephiroth is growing impatient with the amount of mini-games distracting us in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Here are some of the best ones.
Cloud benefits from these wristguards becausehe is a strength-focused damage dealerby default (although he has the stats to become a magic damage dealer if you are determined). Thus, any increase in his Strength will translate to more raw damage. However, keep in mind thatTifa will benefit from this item morebecause her base strength is higher and that Cloud rarely has issues with his damage numbers because he has access to abilities like Infinity’s Edge. Overall, it’s an amazing item, but something that charges the ATB Gauge is better for this character.

Increases strength by 10%. Increases max HP by 500.
3The Speed Demon Keychain
Consistently Fill The ATB Gauge Faster
The Speed Demon Keychain is so high on the list because it is obtained fairly early into the game and has a long-termbenefit to Cloud’s ATB Gauge charge rate. While equipped, you will generate more ATB charge when using a weapon ability, which is going to be pretty common at all stages of the game.
However, you’ll want toavoid using this accessory if your current weapon ability requires ATB. This means you’ll probably abandon the Speed Demon Keychain in the late game when you are using the Crystal Sword. Youwant to be able to spam the weapon ability so that you get maximum benefit. Examples of great weapons to use this keychain with include the Sleek Saber and the Rune Blade.

Received for beating Rosche in Chapter 4
It slightly replenishes the ATB gauge when using a weapon ability.
2The Survival Vest
An Optimal But Boring Option
Few can deny that the Survival Vest is a great item to throw onto Cloud in the mid to late game, as it protects him from progressively tougher enemies.It increases the wearer’s Vitality by 10%, which will, in turn, give them more damage reduction against physical attacks.Buffing Vitality is usually better for non-tank party members like Cloud because the reduction gives them more effective health than is granted from straight health-up accessories.
However, despite its optimal stats, this item is very boring to play with. It doesn’t give you any additional mechanics or noticeable benefits (unless you purposefully try fighting without it to see how much more the enemies hurt). Therefore, it is only ranked second on this list—this is a game, after all, and the fun comes from what you actively do, not what passively happens.

1The Limit Booster
Big Damage & Flashy Graphics More Often
The Limit Booster, unlike the Survival Vest, has avery noticeable and flashy impacton combat. In each fight, the wearer of this accessory will start with theirLimit Break Gaugehalfway full, potentially giving them access to multiple Limit Breaks during a fight.Not only are the Limit Break animations fun to watch, and the abilities very powerful, but this accessory doesn’t take away your opportunity to further increase the Gauge fill speed through skillful play.
So, given that this accessory has all the power and fun you could want, that begs the question, who does it benefit?Cloud has some of the highest damage Limit Breaks in the game - Cross Slash and Finishing Touch- which makes him the ideal candidate to carry the Limit Booster. In addition, there is little competition for this item, as most of your other party members will benefit more from raw stat increases over items like this one.
