A weapon for Cloud essential for hard mode

Similar to the Buster Sword, this sword is very well balanced. Especially when playing on hard mode, you should get the Max MP boosts so that you will not have to worry about running out. After that, the main core skills will all make this weapon great for exploiting enemy weaknesses, so you should get all of these.
After getting the MP boosts, MP regen, and elemental damage buff upgrades, spend your SP on upgrading the attack and magic attack of this weapon. After getting all of them, you can use what SP you still have on extra materia slots and other skills.
