Connected Materia Slots Ff7
Materia Pairing
Equip Multiple Materia In Conjunction For Special Effect Certain weapons and accessories, will have a 'linked' Materia slot available for use, represented by image of 2 circles connected. By equipping Support Materia and a specific compatible Materia in that slot allows you to fuse and upgrade its magic effect. The Blue materia is the support materia, you need to place them in a wepon slot connected to another materia slot that way they are paired. For example: if you pair All + Cure and it will cure your entire party when used instead of just one. You will notice that some materia slots are paired and some are just single slots. 'Adds an additional materia slot or links two existing slots'. I tried to link slots but couldn't figure out how to. Anyone knows how to link them?It happens automatically once you upgrade. When you've highlighted the upgrade, check the materia slots on the top left. That just leaves support materia. These work a little differently. If you've seen the weapons and armor pages, you'll have noticed that along with the single materia slots, some equipment contains connected pairs of slots. While these pairs can be used in the same way as two single slots, they also allow you to use support materia in one slot.
Certain weapons and armor in the game contain single and paired Materia slots as shown below:
(Paired Slot)
You can pair Materia with Support Materia (the blue ones) in the paired Materia slots. Each Support Materia has a different effect on the Materia that you attach it to and this is not necessarily limited to just Magic Materia. The effects can be applied to most Magic Materia, some Command Materia and some Summon Materia. A few examples are listed below:
All Materia Probably the most important Support Materia in the game. This Materia allows for quick and easy healing of allies with low health early in the game and Restore Materia should always be paired with an All Materia (unless of course you have a Mega-All Materia, which you have access to much later in the game). All Materia also gives you the ability to attack every enemy in the battle with one use of a Magic Materia (as long as they’re paired together in the same slot of your armor). Because you’re given access to quite a few All Materia in the game, equip one to a Restore Materia and use the rest for offensive spell casting. Just make sure to check that the Magic Materia you’ve paired the All Materia with doesn’t automatically hit every enemy on the field already (for example, Ultima Materia hits every enemy on the field without the need for a paired All Materia).
It can be paired with the following Materia: Restore, Heal, Revive, Fire, Ice, Lightning, Earth, Poison, Gravity, Seal, Mystify, Transform, Time, Barrier, Destruct, Master Magic
Added Effect: Can be linked to some Magic Materia and some Summon Materia. If you pair it on your weapon you have a 20% chance of inflicting a status effect on an enemy when you use a regular attack. If you pair it on your armor you can make a character immune to specific status effects.
The best Materia to pair with Added Effect Materia is Hades Materia.
It can be paired with the following Materia: Poison (Bio), Seal (Sleep, Silence), Mystify (Confuse, Berserk), Transform (Mini, Toad), Time (Haste, Slow, Stop), Destruct (Death), Contain (Confusion, Stop, Petrify), Choco/Mog (Stop), Odin (Death), Hades (Sleep, Poison, Confusion, Silence, Frog, Mini, Slow, Paralysis).
Counter Materia: This Materia is not the same as Counter Attack Materia. Counter works by attacking the enemy with the paired Materia after the character has been attacked. It starts off with a 30% chance to activate and improves up to a 100% once the Materia has leveled to level 5. Read the fine print though;“Attacks with paired *Command* when damage is incurred” This indicates that you must use Command Materia, rather than Magic Materia, in order to activate the effect. This includes the following Materia:
Deathblow, Master Command, Manipulate, Mime, Morph, Sense, Steal, Throw
Note: When paired with Master Command Materia, which gives you access to every Command in the game, a random Command will be chosen and used when the Counter Materia is activated.
