A weapon for advanced players who like to gain buffs when at a disadvantage

While these gloves' have pretty low attack and magic attack stats, their strength lies in the ability to deliver devastating critical hits when Tifa's HP gets low. To use them effectively, you'll need to upgrade these skills and allow enemies to deal some damage to you to get you into that range.
All of the Critical Hit rate/damage related skills, as well as speed are what you'll want to upgrade first. Prioritize any skill that buffs you at low HP. Next, get all of the upgrades that boost Tifa's attack and magic attack. Remaining SP can be spent on extra materia slots and HP as you see fit. Reprieve is also a great skill for this weapon, but it cannot be learned until weapon level 6.
