The new Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth much like its predecessor Remake, goes ahead with the real-time battle system over the original game’s turn-based format. As such while it is easier to get into, sometimes having to manage abilities alongside your normal attacks can get confusing. Many people are even claiming that this game’s combat is harder than the previous one. So if you are just starting out or are looking to complete the World Intel mission, here is how you can pressure and stagger your enemy in FF7 Rebirth.
How to Pressure Enemy in FF7 Rebirth
You should get the Assess Materia from Chadley and use it to find your target’s weaknesses. Once done you can do the appropriate magic or physical attack to pressure them. After you assess an enemy you get Yellow text on the left side of the screen. Each enemy has a different weakness, for example, some enemies might be weak against the ice element while for others you may have to block their attacks on time, and there are many more such weaknesses.
- Fight with the character that has the Assess Materia equipped on them.
- Next, use normal attacks until you can fill up at least 1 ATB bar.
- Now, bring up your Command menu during the fight, then go to Abilities.
- Here use Assess.
- Check your enemy’s weakness then use the appropriate attack.
- This will pressure them and also build up their stagger bar.

- Complete Character Combat Tutorial: While in Junon you can go to the Chocobo ranch and find Chadley. Here you can access his combat challenges and find combat training tutorials for all 5 characters and even how you can use synergy.
- Use Tifa: Rather than letting AI control Tifa, it is best you play as her because she is the best character when it comes to pressuring your enemies. This is because of her Focused Strike ability. Not only can she pressure them better but also fill up the bar faster.
