Amazing for playing very offensively with Aerith

When fully upgraded, this weapon boosts a MATK stat of 158, putting it at the top of all weapons. If you want Aerith to be mostly on offense, this staff can give her that ability. While it does have exceptionally good MATK, it lacks skills that allow her to recover MP or use less of it.
First get the MP+13 upgrade, then prioritize MATK buffs. You'll basically want to get all of the main core skills right away, as Aerith needs those slots too. Afterward, spend your SP on MATK buffs and materia slots until you have them all. If you have excess SP after getting them all, spend them on Bloodsucker, HP buffs, and then the remaining skills.
