Command Materia in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Its ability, Assess, displays all information about an enemy's stats, weaknesses, item spoils, and a description. This data can later be found in the Enemy Intel, or called up again during the fight by pressing the

Obtained[]
An Assess materia is given for defeating the velociwings in the prologue, "Fall of a Hero", but nothing from the prologue carries over to the rest of the game.
Assess is available since the start of the game, and can be bought from all shops that sell materia. Yuffie also joins the party with an Assess materia equipped.
Stats[]
| Level | AP required | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0 | Assesses one target. |
| 2 | 300 | Assesses all enemies. |
Use[]
Assess can provide crucial battle information on the fly, such as how to pressure an enemy. It costs only one ATB charge to use, and will assess all enemies at once when fully leveled. Normally an enemy only needs to be assessed once to learn its weaknesses and resistances, but assessing them later can be useful to learn their HP. Assessing enemies completes the player's Enemy Intel information, and also unlocks some new combat simulator challenges with Chadley. It is worth keeping access to Assess at all times and assessing all new encounters.
Assess can also be used via the 
Assess Materia Earrings accessory, which frees up a materia slot.
