Tifa Synergy Skills and Abilities
Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth has some frosty synergy skills and stronger skills that can be performed between certain characters. To raise Tifa’s affinity, be sure to complete all of the following skills and cloud skills:
Synergy skills
- Slip and slide – TIFA teams up with its partner to avoid and deliver a counterattack. Dodge at the right time to perform a control attack.
- Soaring falrys – Tifa performs an attack with her partner. The attack can hit enemies.
Synergy capabilities
- Relentless rush– Cloud Lauches Tifa towards the enemy and the pair attack together. Using this on staggered enemies provides a boost to the attack’s power and increases the duration of the stopped attack.
- Synchronous cyclone – Cloud and Tifa jump into the air together to spin around. Temporarily grants unlimited MP.
TIFA main events
Your relationship with TIFA is elevated based on your actions in the following main story missions.
- Chapter 4: Be sure to get a higher score (at least 101,000) than all other teams during formation exercises during the Junon Parade. It also technically increases Aerith’s compound affinity.
- Chapter 6: Choose matching swimsuits for clouds and tifa. If you choose the wild surfing swimsuit set for Cloud, Tifa must wear the sparkling ghost set. If you choose the Ocean Chocobo set for the clouds, Tifa must wear the majestic glamor set.
- Chapter 6: When fighting Costa del Sol Beach with Glasptropod, decide to support TIFA and Red XIII.
If you follow all the advice here, you will hit gold for the first time in Chapter 8, you will have a sturdy affinity with TIFA, and she will take on the role of Rosa in the Loveless theater production. Keep it up, and then by the time you hit chapter 12 and are ready for your Sky Wheel date, Tifa will be with you.
If Tifa’s relationship affinity is less than the blue smiley, the standard cutscene with her will play. High affinity with Blue Smiley will trigger an intimate cutscene.
I hope that with this advice you managed to win your way to Tifa’s heart, and finally take her and cloud the sweet alone time that fans have been waiting for over two decades!
