Regen is a magic spell in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. It is provided by Healing Materia at its third level. The spell restores 10% of the target's HP, and then applies the
Regen for three minutes, which gradually restores their HP over time by 1% every two seconds.
It is also used by Two Face.
Use[]
Regen costs 6 MP and provides an initial 10% heal to the target, followed by applying the status. It is the only spell on the healing materia that is not affected on the party member's Magic, and thus can only be boosted by
Support Materia. Regen will heal 100% of a party member's HP when it has run its course, making it a very MP-efficient heal, albeit a slow one.
Regen is opposed by Poison. As such, when a party member is poisoned, casting Regen will only remove poison and will not grant regen to replace it. Therefore, in battles where enemies use poison often and the party has not resisted it (either by
Warding Materia or accessories), Regen should not be cast as it will be wasted. In all other cases, Regen is an extremely useful spell.
The spell can be improved by support materia. Magnify Materia in particular allows Regen to be cast to the entire party, giving everyone a heal over time.
Magic Focus Materia can allow the effect to last longer, and
Magic Efficiency Materia can cut the spell's cost (though the cost is already fairly low).
Regen can be good for Barret when he is using Lifesaver, also while being protected with defensive statuses.
