When maxed out, these bad boys can reach a physical attack stat of 164, putting it at the top of all weapons. If you want to max out Tifa's attacks and enjoy the action, these will let you do just that. First prioritize physical attack upgrades above all, and then go for speed and % based buffs. Having a couple extra materia slots could help out too, but since she won't need magic attacks, Tifa can do fine with just a few of them.
