Template:Sideicon Meteorain is one of Cloud's HP attacks. It is learned at Level 38 and requires 40 CP to equip and 300 AP to master. Unlike the Final Fantasy VII version of the attack, Cloud remains on the ground when using it in Dissidia, sending the meteors up into the air before causing them to rain on the opponent.

Template:Sideicon Meteorain remains an HP Attack for Cloud. It is visually different from its previous incarnations and also functions somewhat differently, now following a path from where Cloud summoned Meteorain.

Non-Final Fantasy guest appearances
Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring
Meteorain is Cloud's Special ability, used by holding the Special button. Cloud will leap up in the air and swing his sword to shoot three meteors at the opponent, much like the animation in Final Fantasy VII. Sephiroth can use an identical attack used in the same way, but instead shoots five meteors, the attack is called Black Materia. Zack also uses an identical attack to Cloud's, instead named Meteo Shots.
Kingdom Hearts series
In Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, Sora is able to use Meteor Rain as a finish command. It conjures several meteors that fire forward at a downward angle.

Etymology
A meteor or "shooting star" is the visible streak of light from a meteoroid or micrometeoroid, heated and glowing from entering the Earth's atmosphere, as it sheds glowing material in its wake. Meteors rarely explode in the Earth's atmosphere. The term has become associated with quickness with the adjective "meteoric". In the context of myth and superstition, meteors and comets sighted in Ancient and Medieval Europe were once held as ill omen, said to be the message of the heavens' displeasure of man's affairs to herald grave catastrophes.
Pieces that withstand atmospheric ablation are known as meteorites, but the name of the spell in the series refers to the overall phenomenon.
Trivia
