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 |
