Use[]
Antidote is a moderately useful item, as it cures the player of the Poison status. However, once the player reaches Gongaga and can purchase Star Pendants, Antidotes become less useful. The following can make the need for Antidotes null:
- Star Pendant (Gongaga onwards)
- Fairy Ring
- Poison Ring (obtained from Whirlwind Maze after defeating Jenova∙DEATH)
- Ribbon
- White Wind
- Angel Whisper
- Poisona and Resist (from the Heal materia)
- Added Effect + Poison/Hades in armor.
- Vaccine
- Remedy
As Poison does not persist after battle unlike in some other games in the series, the player's turn may be better used defeating the enemy faster over healing Poison, unless the battle is expected to draw on for a number of turns.
