This is a guide to the Shinra Combat Simulator in Final Fantasy 7 Remake (FF7R). This guide will explain how to unlock the combat simulator, as well as obtainable rewards. If you are having trouble beating battle challenges, read on for tips and strategy!
List of Contents
The Shinra Combat Simulator is a facility inside of the Shinra Building that allows you to take on successive battles in order to receive various rewards. Of these rewards, the EXP Up Materia and Gil Up Materia are very useful, so we highly recommend going after them.
All battles inside of the Combat Simulator become available after clearing the main story of FF7R. After clearing the game, you'll also have access to Chapter Select, which you can use to go to Chapter 17 and find the Simulator near the beginning.
After completing a battle in the Combat Simulator, you can take it on again to receive EXP and Gil. Since the Gil Up and EXP Up Materia are both found here, you can equip them to rake in even more gil and EXP while you take on these challenges.

The Cutters you will have to fight is weak to Lightning based magic, so be sure and equip the Lightning Materia. If you can stagger it and then unleash Thundara or Thundaga on it, it will drop in no time.
All of the Cutters' attacks come from their front. If you can position both characters on either side of one and aim to constantly attack from the rear, you'll have a much easier time.

I made Barret fight twice to get another Supreme Bracer but it was not rewarded twice. Is it limited to the first serie of fights or am I doing something wrong?
