This is a guide on stunning in Final Fantasy 7 Remake (FF7R). Read on to find out how stunning works and what hidden stats govern it!
List of Contents
Stunning in Final Fantasy 7 Remake occurs when Cloud and co.'s attack is strong enough to either knock down smaller enemies or prevent them from pulling off an attack. This is determined by what we'll be calling stun power and stun defense. Stun power is a hidden stat on all attacks while stun defense is on characters and enemies. The formula for stunion is as follows:
| Attack's Stun Power > Target's Stun Defense |
For example, your party member's stun defense is typically 20, while most abilities' stun power ranges between 40-60. This is why many have noticed that getting hit by an enemy ability while casting a healing spell ends with them being knocked down before the spell can go off. If the ability's stun power is equal or less than the target's stun defense, damage will still be dealt but the target will not be stuned, however staggering an enemy will ignore stun defense and cancel the target's ability.
