DMW Guide: All Limit Breaks and Buffs

DMW Images

There are 18 DMW Images in total. Only Angeal and Sephiroth are available in the beginning. More images are added as you progress through the story, or by obtaining valuable items and Materia in Mission Mode.

How to Trigger Summon Mode, Chocobo Mode, and Genesis Mode

Randomly Triggered

The standard DMW wheel will only show human characters. Summons and special creatures like the Chocobo and Moogle will only appear if the wheels randomly trigger it during Modulating Phase. Genesis Mode can also be triggered randomly, replacing the left and right images with Genesis's picture.

Silhouette Images

Characters not yet met or unlocked are replaced by their Silhouette in the DMW. Instead of their personal Limit Break, Zack will perform the Chain Slash attack when three Silhouette Images line up in the DMW.

While not as powerful as other Limit Breaks, it is still useful in battle.

Limit Gauge Levels

While essentially random, Zack's emotional state will affect the DMW. The higher the level of the limit gauge, the more likely it is that the DMW images will match and trigger a Limit Break.

Limit Gauge Levels
Level Gauge Color/Pattern
Heavenly Intense red waves
Sky High Short red waves
High Green waves
Normal Slow blue-green waves
Low Sluggish blue waves
