An unembellished band designed to facilitate materia improvement.

Description

Volant Armlet is a piece of armor in "Episode INTERmission" in Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade. It has a single materia slot, and provides +44 to Defense Defense and Magic Defense Magic Defense. It has good stats and also triples the amount of AP earned for the 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.

Volant Armlet location from FFVIIR INTERmission

Volant Armlet chest.

After picking up the ribbon in the Shinra Building Advanced Weaponry in "The Scent of Materia", the path left on the map proceeds forward to a corridor into the Maintenance Facilities area. In the Maintenance Facilities corridor, taking a detour left leads to a treasure chest with a volant armlet, while proceeding down the corridor leads to the facilities themselves, where 3-C SOLDIER operators are fought.

Use[]

Volant armlet has strong and equal defense against both physical and magical damage, and triples AP gain for the materia slotted into it. As the DLC episode is fairly short, comprising of only two chapters, the occasions for earning AP to the player's materia are limited. However, the armlet only having one slot limits its usefulness. It could be good for quickly leveling up HP Up Materia HP Up Materia, as it is useful to have multiple for the toughest challenges on both Yuffie and Sonon.

A good AP-grinding location in preparation for the superboss battles in hard mode is in the Shinra Combat Simulator's first battle: the player can have First Strike Materia First Strike Materia on Yuffie, immediately throw her weapon and use Windstorm as soon as the shuriken lands on an enemy, to clear all of them at once to rack up AP. The player can choose easy difficulty for this in the pre-battle menu, as hard mode does not yield any more AP.
