Yuffie is a versatile party member that you will unlock at the start of Chapter 7 in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. She was briefly playable during the short Intermission DLC for Final Fantasy VII Remake. From then on out you can include her in your party to take advantage of her Ninjutsu abilities. Since Yuffie comes a bit later in the game, it can be hard to quickly get a grasp on her skill set. The guide below goes over how to play her effectively and what her best abilities are.

How to Play as Yuffie - Final Fantasy VII Rebirth¶

Yuffie can’t be used until you reach Chapter 7 and first enter the Corel Region connected to Costa del Sol. She comes with a variety of abilities already unlocked to give her as much versatility as your other party members. Yuffie is a multi-range character meaning that she has a mix of close and ranged combat. This can be used to easily adjust to a variety of situations, and she can be a great asset when battling enemies that you aren’t yet familiar with.

Yuffie’s triangle normal moves give you some interesting options. Holding down the triangle button allows Yuffie to throw her shuriken at enemies. If you’re using the Holding Shuriken version of the move, then the weapon will automatically return on its own. The Square button allows you to release a flurry of close-range attacks on the enemy. At the third strike, Yuffie will hit the enemy and then jump backward (provided you hold down the button), giving you space to throw your shuriken and use Elemental Ninjutsu.

You can also use the ranged version of the square button to cast ninjutsu spells from a safe distance. Chaining these four attacks together will help you build your ATB meter to use her more powerful skills.

Best Abilities for Yuffie¶

Yuffie has many useful abilities available to her, the table below will give you more details about them.

Most of Yuffie’s abilities are great in the right circumstances, but her ability to hit any enemy weakness with her Elemental Ninjutsu is incredibly useful. Doppelganger is another stand-out, allowing you to add to her damage with her clone.

Elemental Skills with Elemental Ninjutsu¶

First, you should select an element to buff with Elemental Ninjutsu. Afterward, you can attack enemies with her elemental skills. Windstorm allows Yuffie to gather the enemies on the field together, making it easy to hit them with a group of close-range attacks. Once used, this can be used in conjunction with her normal attacks or other abilities like Art of War, Fire Ninjustu, or Static Shock. In addition, using these elemental attacks against the right types of enemies can exploit weaknesses, giving Yuffie another edge in battle when placed on your team.

Steal¶

While not a combat ability, it’s one that works a lot better on Yuffie and can be rather valuable. Steal allows you to target an enemy and try to take an item from them. For example, using it to swipe the Tonberry King’s crown after he drops it in the fight. While this won’t always be useful, it can be great in a pinch. Say you’re in a difficult dungeon and low on health. If Yuffie manages to rustle up a healing item, it can be a huge help to your team. A lot of Yuffie’s Weapon and Folio skills will give her buffs when using Steal too, making her even more useful as your go-to Thief.

Yuffie’s Weapons and The Abilities They Grant¶

Yuffie has a selection of weapons that can grant her different abilities. The Table below goes over every weapon she can equip, what ability they activate, and where to find them.

All Limit Breaks for Yuffie¶

Bloodbath is Yuffie’s first limit break, and like most of the other characters, she unleashes a heavy amount of damage when it’s activated. This move engages the enemy with a series of close-range attacks that target a single enemy. Keep in mind that you have no control over the Limit Break once it’s activated, and Yuffie will mercilessly attack the targeted enemy. Dolphin Flurry can be used when you get two limit bars. This unleashes another flurry of blows that heightens the chance that an enemy will be staggered.

All Synergy Abilities for Yuffie¶

Yuffie has quite a few synergy abilities to unlock, including one with the game’s last party member you unlock, Cait Sith. Below are all the synergy abilities we have confirmed for Yuffie.
