Description
Ninja Armlet is a piece of armor in "Episode INTERmission" in Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade. It has one set of linked materia slots and one single slot, and provides +38 to Defense and Magic Defense. It is a good armor piece with balanced defense, which also doubles the amount of AP earned for all materia slotted into it; though this was a trait to some armor pieces in the original Final Fantasy VII, none such armor were used in the base Final Fantasy VII Remake.
Obtained[]
Ninja armlet is initially equipped to Yuffie. It can't be bought or sold.
Use[]
Ninja armlet is useful for its good stats for any occasion, having equal defense against both physical and magical damage, and its double AP trait. As the DLC episode is fairly short, comprising of only two chapters, the occasions for earning AP to the player's materia are limited. The AP-yield can be further boosted with AP Up Materia to quadruple the base yield.
