Excellent for Hard mode, where you're always short of MP

With several MP related skills, this weapon is great for Hard mode where MP management is a constant issue. First prioritize the Max MP skills, MP cost reduction, as well as the MP regen one. This staff does not offer much in the way of defensive skills, so you should get the Max HP buffs and Trade-Off, while normally trying to avoid as much damage as possible.
After unlocking these skills, prioritize offense. Aerith can always use more materia slots and MATK, so upgrade these, as well as the elemental boosts to your preference.
