A cuff that prioritizes one's magical defense over materia use.
Description
The Astral Cuff is a piece of armor in Final Fantasy VII Remake and "Episode INTERmission". It is by far the best magic defense armor, providing +20 to Defense and +124 to Magic Defense, but has no materia slots. Its complement is the iron maiden.
Obtained[]
Astral Cuff is found in the Drum in Chapter 17, "Deliverance from Chaos". With Cloud's party in Ward 2, the player follows a linear path until two zenenes are fought. Heading through the door on the right leads into a corridor, then then right again in the wider corridor allows the player to pick up an astral cuff.
Jenova Dreamweaver also drops an astral cuff, so the player can get two.
In "Episode INTERmission", astral cuff is sold for 8,000 gil in the Junk Shop whose wares change every time the player advances a quest or initiates Fort Condor. Later on, it is also sold in the Shinra Building vending machines.
Etymology[]
Astra means "stars" in Latin and Greek.
