Gravity (Final Fantasy VII element)

Demi3 hitting all enemies.

Gravity is an element in Final Fantasy VII. It is the second rarest element in the game, as it only exists in the form of the Demi line of spells (and items) as well as the Enemy Skill Laser. Gravity abilities deal damage as a percentage of the target's HP, capped at 9999 damage. This also means that Gravity abilities do not tend to work on bosses, however, they do work on the superboss Emerald Weapon. Gravity abilities tend to be effective against flying or otherwise airborne enemies. Not every percentage-based ability is Gravity-elemental.

Use

Gravity as an element only matters for if the enemy can be hit by HP% attacks. As this means most bosses are immune to the status, it is worthless to use Gravity during most boss fights, with the exception of Bottomswell if the player has obtained any Graviballs from the Deenglow in the Train Graveyard during the Midgar portion of the game. Gravity can also be useful against Emerald Weapon, especially with W-Magic.

If used on any enemy weak to Gravity, as long as it deals 50% HP damage normally, it will instantly defeat these enemies.

Protection against Gravity is unneeded as it is exceptionally rare when used by enemies and only really used in the battle with Bizarro∙Sephiroth.
