Gives you a chance to learn certain enemy techniques that you've endured and use them as abilities. These abilities can only be used when the materia is set to your equipment.
Description
Enemy Skill materia is a Command Materia in Final Fantasy VII Remake. It grants the chance to learn an ability from an enemy, which can then be used from the abilities command by a character equipping the materia.
Up to four enemy skills can be obtained in Final Fantasy VII Remake. A skill is learned by fighting an enemy who has that particular skill, and waiting until they use it on the character with the materia equipped.
If the user has Elemental Materia linked with an elemental Magic Materia in their weapon, the effect extends to the enemy skills they use.
Obtaining materia[]
Enemy Skill materia can be purchased from Chadley for 100 gil after completing Battle Intel Report 16 to assess 30 enemy types. Chadley will only ever sell one of this materia, meaning it is only ever possible for a single character in any given battle to employ Enemy Skills.
