Oh, shut up and help me remodel the Zack Fair (VII Rebirth party member) page!
Zack Fair is a guest party member in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. He appears at the beginning of the game in the tutorial. He appears playable again during the final boss with some abilities based on his playable appearance in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-. Just like with Sephiroth, he comes with preset materia that cannot be changed.
Gameplay[]
Overview[]
Zack is first controlled in the tutorial. He cannot use special commands like weapon abilities or magic; he can only attack. Zack's full move set is accessible in the final boss phases where he is playable. His unique ability is Charge: by holding the triangle button, he can charge up a meter that changes the animation and strength of his weapon abilities depending on the level with a maximum level of three. Zack can also charge it faster by pressing triangle after attacking.
Zack has three weapon abilities: Chain Slash, Meteor Shots, and High Braver. By executing Chain Slash he repeatedly attacks one targeted foe similarly to its original appearance in Crisis Core, its animation and power dependent on charge level. Meteor Shots has Zack call down meteorites on a targeted foe, being based on the move from the Digital Mind Wave of the same name in Crisis Core based on Cloud Strife. Just like with Chain Slash, it becomes more powerful depending on his Charge gauge. High Braver can be used at charge level three, at which point the player can press the attack button to unleash three consecutive attacks.
His limit break is Rush Assault, named after Angeal Hewley's Digital Mind Wave limit from Crisis Core. He charges at the foe with a barrage of punches and kicks before landing an explosive final strike.
Materia[]
Zack's equipment cannot be altered. He has a Fire and Ice Materia as well as a 
Wind Materia in the slots of his Buster Sword. In his armor slots he has Healing Materia connected with 
Magnify Materia, a Revival Materia, Time Materia, Barrier Materia, Empowerment Materia, Fortification Materia, and a 
First Strike Materia.
Synergy[]
Zack has some synergy abilities he can perform with Cloud. Defensive Dash has the two rush together and attack with their swords. Zack can also partake in Cloud's Counterfire in the battle the two have against Sephiroth as part of the final battle gauntlet. Their synergy attack is SOLDIER's Honor where they attack in tandem; the buff that it applies is identical to Double Helix with Cloud gaining one limit level and Zack having temporary unlimited MP. He has another synergy attack that can only be performed during the section of the final boss where Zack fights alone, Together as One where Cloud briefly appears to attack with Zack before giving focus to Zack, temporarily giving him three ATB gauges.
