Haste is a magic spell in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. It is the first level spell provided by Time Materia, and the only one with a supportive effect as opposed to an offensive one. The spell grants the
Haste status to a target, which improves the rate their ATB gauge fills. Haste opposes
Slow and
Stop, and thus casting the spell will remove them but not grant Haste.
Use[]
Haste costs 4 MP to cast, and can be used by party members with level 1 time materia. It grants the Haste status to a target for a duration, which will improve their ATB charge rate. This is useful on any party member, and should be targeted strategically to improve that ally's output in battle.
Haste can be further improved by pairing time materia with Magnify Materia. This allows Haste to be granted to the entire party at once. As magnify materia is also a great pair with time materia for its other two spells, this can be a very useful setup. Time materia can also be paired with
Magic Focus Materia to increase the length of Haste's duration, though there are often better uses for this materia.
