As someone who’s spent countless hours immersed in the vibrant world of Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis, I must say that this tier list is a true testament to the depth and complexity of the game. From the mighty Enhance Sword wielded by Zack, to the trusty Solid Bazooka of Barret, each weapon holds a unique place in our adventurer’s hands.
If you are a newcomer to the world of FFVII, it’s crucial to understand the strengths and weaknesses of every character and every weapon the game has to offer. Below you can find our complete Final Fantasy: Ever Crisis tier list where we rank every weapon in the game and break down all playable characters.
Before proceeding, I thought it would be helpful to emphasize that our rankings for this Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis tier list are primarily informed by our closed beta testing (CBT) data. This implies that potential adjustments in future balance patches could alter some or many aspects, necessitating a reevaluation of the list. Now, let’s dive into our FFVII Ever Crisis tier list!
FFVII Ever Crisis weapons tier list
At the moment, there are 9 playable characters that you can acquire for free. Every one of them can equip up the following weapons:
- Primary Weapon
- Secondary Weapon
- Sub Weapons (3)
As a gamer, I’d like to highlight an essential aspect: characters in this game gain stats not just from their main weapons, but also secondary ones (100%) and sub-weapons (50% for both primary and secondary). The exception here is the C.Ability of the sub-weapons, which functions independently.
With that said, let’s take a look at each character:
Best matching weapons for each character
Aerith
During the CBT, Aerith was a staple in almost every team. The reason is simple -she’s the best healer in the game. Because of it, she can be useful in every situation. On top of that, she provides a lot of earth and lightning area damage. You can’t really ask for more.
Recommended Weapons: Sun Umbrella / Wizard Staff (DPS) – Fairy Tale / Mythril Rod (Healer)
Barret
Barret excels in long-range non-elemental attacks and he can be very useful thanks to his wave clear abilities. He has access to certain weapons that allow him to reduce enemies’ physical defense. If you need a physical team, he’s your guy.
Recommended Weapons: W Machine / Assault Gun
Cloud
When we talk about FF, Cloud is one of the first characters that comes to mind. In Ever Crisis, he’s the best Lightning-damage carry in the game hands down, and that’s enough to make him S-Tier.
Recommended Weapons: Murasame / Apocalypse
Glenn
Glenn brings a lot of physical single-target damage. Actually, he probably has the highest in the game. Later on (once he reaches limit break 2), he gets an AoE ability. The problem is that lightning and earth damage are simply more useful, at least for now.
Recommended Weapons: Jiggy Fam / Piece of Cake
Lucia
Lucia is a primary damage-carry hero that can also provide some crowd control in the form of silence which makes enemies unable to use any skills for a period of time. She deals water and wind damage.
Recommended Weapons: Pulse Gun / Serpent Gun
Matt
Matt is a single-target damage carry who can also be used as a pseudo-healer in some team comps. He’s especially useful against certain bosses as he provides debuffs and high-damage output.
Recommended Weapons: Any S-Tier weapon pairing
Red XIII
Red XIII is a character that can heal his allies with his regen abilities and also provide some debuffs (MDEF, MATK). With that said, he’s not as effective as Aerith as flat healing is simply better at the moment. If you want to use him, his ideal role is support.
Recommended Weapons: Gold Collar / Noble Collar
Sephiroth
Young Sephiroth is the latest character to be added in the world of FFVII Ever Crisis. He’s the strongest ice DPS in the game currently.
Recommended Weapons: Edged Wings/Aonibi or Shinra Blade.
Tifa
Tifa is the only character with an ability that allows her to remove certain ailments. She has access to various weapons that allow her to become a pseudo-healer, but she can also provide good enough damage. She’s usually used as a secondary damage unit.
Recommended Weapons: Tiger Fangs / Leather Gloves
Zack
Zack is a single-target damage nuker with the ability to debuff his enemies. Even though he’s primarily used as a primary DPS character, he can be built as a secondary DPS/Debuffer.
Yuffie
A beguiling ninja and skilled materia hunter. After the war with Shinra, she works to restore her home, Wutai, to its former glory. She tags along with Cloud and the others in an attempt to get her hands on their materia
Recommended Weapons:

Having played through the epic saga of Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis multiple times, I’ve come to form my own personal tier list based on my gaming journey. Keep in mind that this list reflects my unique experiences and understanding of the game; future balance updates may cause shifts in the rankings. Here’s how I currently see things:
Given your clear passion for rating characters and weapons, perhaps you’d appreciate looking into tier lists like those for Code Geass: Lost Stories, Waven, or even Brown Dust 2. While there are more out there, you might need to do a bit of searching to discover them all.
