Explosive damage against all opponents
Description
Shrapnel is an offensive battle item in Final Fantasy VII that deals Shoot-elemental physical damage to all targets. It is considered Long Range with an attack power of 416. Due to it being physical, it can be covered.
Though localized as "Shrapnel", the item is actually Final Fantasy VII's version of the recurring Bomb Fragment item in the series.

Mechanics[]
Using the Shrapnel does not take the user's stats into account in determining damage. The final damage is calculated as :
The damage is Shoot-elemental and ranged (does the same damage from the player's back row and can hit enemies in the back row).
Use[]
The Shrapnel is much stronger than the Grenade, but harder to come buy. It is fairly expensive at the Battle Square and disappears from the prize list on the first time the Battle Square prize list is updated in favor of stronger battle items. The only other source is from Bombs, an enemy the player will not be facing much in a casual playthrough. If the player ends with some Shrapnels, they may be good on the Battle Square when the player's weapon breaks against groups.
