Aerial Onslaught is an ability for Cloud in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Though treated as a weapon ability, it is provided by Cloud's folio. Aerial Onslaught can only be used when Cloud is airborne, such as when he jumps to attack a flying enemy. When performing Aerial Onslaught, Cloud does several powerful slashes before striking downwards and landing.
Obtained[]
Aerial Onslaught is available on Cloud's folio at party level 8. It costs 20 SP to unlock.
Use[]
Aerial Onslaught is a powerful attack to use mid-air, which Cloud can achieve by holding the attack button while in Operator Mode. However, the ability is lengthy to execute and leaves Cloud vulnerable for its duration. As such, it is best saved on a staggered or slower enemy.
Aerial Onslaught deals more damage than using Braver mid-air, even though Braver is strong used mid-air. However, Braver is faster to execute.
