Cacophonic Corvid Fiend Intel: How to Pressure Fonadu

Cacophonic Corvid is a Fiend Intel Combat Assignment in the Junon Region of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth (FF7 Rebirth). Learn the strategies on how to pressure Fonadu, how to beat this Fiend Intel, how to unlock, and where to find this Fiend Intel on the map.

How to Pressure Fonadu

Cast Wind Spells and Evade Death from Above to Pressure

Inflicting Fonadu with enough damage will cause it to retaliate with its Death from Above ability. To trigger that ability easily, equip a Wind Materia and cast Aero spells after dealing enough damage against the Fonadu.

This will make the Fonadu use its Death from Above ability which you need to dodge in time in order to pressure it. Dodging the attack can be tricky, so it can be useful to prepare an Ability which will automatically evade an attack such as Yuffie's Brumal Form.

How to Get the Wind Materia

Choose Dynamic Difficulty if Your Level is Way Higher than the Fiend Intel

If you are trying to pressure the enemy and your level is way too high, there is a chance that you'll defeat the enemy even before pressuring them. To solve this, switch to Dynamic difficulty as the enemies' level will scale with you, providing a challenge and an opportunity to complete the Fiend Intel's mission.
