About Summons in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Summons can help turn the tide of battle against even the most formidable foes. There are a few ways to acquire Summon Materia, including having saved data from Final Fantasy VII Remake and its DLC or having preordered the Deluxe or Collector’s Edition of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
Many summons are earned as you progress through the game’s campaign. Each region you discover has a particular deity, and by defeating them in the Combat Simulator, you earn their respective Summon Materia. To access the Combat Simulator, talk to Chadley.
To use a particular summon, you must first equip their respective Materia on the character of your choice. Each summon grants stat bonuses to the equipped character, which we’ll list below.
When in battle, a summon meter will appear after an enemy is staggered, slowly beginning to fill. Once it’s full and you have enough ATB gauges, select the ‘Summon’ action to bring the entity of your choice to the battlefield for a limited time.
Once a summon’s time in battle is up, they’ll leave the battlefield while casting their ultimate attack, dealing massive damage.
Some Summon Materia can be upgraded by gathering Divine Intel. Each region in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has three Divine Sanctuaries, and by visiting each one and completing a brief mini-game, you can improve your summons up to three times. Improvements result in things like stat boosts or new attacks. Below, we’ve listed each summon’s complete list of attacks once fully powered up.
NoteBy finding Divine Sanctuaries and completing the mini-game within, you also power down the corresponding summons in the Combat Simulator. This makes these incredibly tough fights much easier.
Chocobo & Mog
The Chocobo & Mog Summon Materia will appear in your inventory automatically at the start of Chapter 2.
| Ability 1 | Chocobo Kick (1 ATB) | Run toward an enemy and unleash a powerful kick. Significantly increases stagger. |
| Ability 2 | Moogle Blast (1 ATB) | Throw a bomb that has a wide blast range. |
| Ultimate Attack | Stampede | Deals a large amount of wind damage. |
This cuddly pair is best used against enemies weak to wind. The Chocobo will also peck at your foes for small damage, while its kick attack can be used to raise the enemy’s stagger meter.
Chocobo & Mog will grant these stat bonuses when equipped:
- +1 MP
- +2 Magic
- +4 Magic Attack
- +2 Luck
Moogle Trio
Players who preordered Final Fantasy VII Rebirth can claim the Moogle Trio Summon Materia from the DLC/Bonus menu.
Like the Magic Pot, these three cuties grant stat bonuses to the summoner on a whim while healing the party. They also concentrate their energies into a single beam to deal damage to an enemy on the battlefield once their time is up. This also boosts the bad guy’s stagger gauge, making dealing with them a breeze.
Magic Pot
Players who preordered the Deluxe or Collector’s Editions of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth can claim the Magic Pot Summon Materia from the DLC/Bonus menu.
This odd creature doesn’t attack your foes. Instead, it exists to protect the party and heal them when wounded. It has no abilities except for its Ultimate Attack, Magic Elixer, which gives all characters an HP boost, grants buffs, and removes any negative status effects.
Leviathan
Leviathan’s Summon Materia can be claimed from the DLC/Bonus menu if you have a Final Fantasy VII Remake save file on your PlayStation 5.
