ATB spent on other commands increases the amount of HP and MP absorbed. Can use while airborne. Shares gauge with Banishment. Max level: III.
Description
Purification is an ability for Yuffie in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, granted by the Fuma Shuriken. It is a magic ability that deals damage and drains HP and MP from an enemy. The damage dealt is based on how much it has been charged by previously-used ATB commands: using three will upgrade it to Purification Lv. II, and six upgrades it to Purification Lv. III. This is tracked in a gauge, which is shared with Banishment.
Purification is new to Rebirth, but shares a gauge from Banishment that originates from Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, and could be considered an alternate version of Banishment. It is also somewhat reminiscent of Clear Tranquil from Final Fantasy VII in that it heals 50% of health to Yuffie.
Obtained[]
Purification is provided by the Fuma Shuriken. Striking an enemy with Purification Lv. III gains proficiency bonus.
Use[]
Purification deals magic damage, meaning it is based on Yuffie's Magic Attack. Yuffie can be very effective when built toward this role, as her balanced attributes mean the right build can make her an effective spellcaster. This is further enhanced by her Doppelgänger.
Purification will heal Yuffie for around 50% of the damage dealt, and restore around 0.5% damage dealt toward her MP. This can be effective for her endurance (as she has low durability stats) and for her ability to cast spells more often. Though Purification deals less damage than Banishment, in certain situations it may be preferred. Because they share a gauge, this will be a choice as players cannot charge both at once.
At its base level, Purification deals fairly small damage and a small heal for its ATB cost. It should instead be fully charged first with ATB abilities, of which six need to be used for Purification Lv. III. Doppelgänger should be cast first, Elemental Ninjutsu can be used if targeting an elemental weakness in an enemy, and Shooting Star can be used to consume a charge and enter Yuffie in Ninjutsu. Blindside can be cast repeatedly to help reach the next Purification level. Storm's Fury, when unlocked, will consume three charges at once and fully unlock the next level.
