How to Use the Refocus Materia

Just Like Other Limit Breaks

Refocus.jpg
Refocus can be used just like a normal limit break, so if your limit gauge is filled you can select it instead of your normal one. It also only uses half of the limit gauge so you can still save up for a regular limit break to lay down the hurt!

Increases Your ATB Gauges

Using Refocus will give you a third ATB Gauge for the duration of the battle, allowing you to get off more abilities and spells at a faster pace to increase damage.

that´s NOT correct, you don´t get another Refocus from Chadley!!! i have done already all 20 Reports and only have 1 Refocus Materia!!!! I´m playing now the hard mode to get access to the shinra-combats to get another copys!

Chadley gives you one at the finish of all 20 reports. The rest are in combat simulator at shinra only for hard mode rewards. Very time consuming for those. Linking them with haste per char is most effective. Thanks for being a great site.
