These may be chained together within any reasonable order. Below is a list of her known spirit-amplified techniques (Limit Breaks) and following those are things unique to this imagining of the Final Fantasy VII heroine. [b]Beat Rush[/b] A three-hit punch combo with each strike containing a measure of spirit energy; this results in the blows being much stronger than normal punches and capable of shattering stone or cratering metal. [b]Somersault[/b] Concentrating spirit energy into her legs allows Tifa to jump well above average distances and heights. [b]Waterkick[/b] A kick containing aquatic properties; being struck by its boiling splash results in severe burns to flesh. [b]Meteodrive[/b] This brainbuster suplex gains increased power by focusing strength into the upper body; the result is a landing with increased force. [b]Dolphin Blow[/b] An uppercut which releases spirit in the form of a dolphin; it creates a physical shockwave when the dolphin interacts with objects. [b]Final Heaven[/b] Tifa focuses energy into her fist to charge a superpunch; how the strong the punch is depends upon energy gathered. [b]Premium Heart[/b] Tifa shapes her spirit energy into gloves to don her most powerful weapons. The Premium Heart passively sip Tifa's spirit energy to increase the power of her next punches over time; the longer it's been since her fists have hit something, the greater the energy released when they do. The gloves retain one fifth of the energy and give Tifa's punches a paralyzing property. Tifa's Final Heaven gains double the destructive power for its respective cost. If the Premium Heart connects with the target's heart they will become Heartbroken; this status lasts for seven of the opponent's turns. From the time of impact they will suffer pain in their heart which will increase in severity with each of their passing turns. At turn seven they it will trigger a heart attack. [b]Childhood Bond[/b] When Tifa faces insurmountable circumstances and feels like giving up, inspiration comes to her via her childhood friend. This is not so much intervention as it is motivation because interaction takes place only in her mind. After pepping herself up, Tifa swells with spirit, gaining otherwise impossible endurance and will to continue. For a brief time she will feel no pain and carry on through most injuries save for a dismemberment or something she cannot break through. Afterwards Tifa will succumb to exhaustion and require time to recover if she hasn't passed out. [u][b]Materia[/b][/u] [b]Barrier[/b] The Barrier materia allows Tifa to create makeshift protections from physical or magical attacks. Each cast of the spell may absorb one attack; use of the Reflect Spell will cause a magical threat to be absorbed and bounced back in the direction of the caster. [b]TIme[/b] Tifa gains ability to move her body faster than normal via Haste; her motions become blurs and she may move many yards in moments. Slow decreases the flow of movement in a target area and Stop will grind it to a halt. [b]Added Effect - Lightning[/b] Tifa summons the fury of electricity to enact her will; Added Effect bestows Tifa with a passive defense against electrical attacks and charges her physical strikes with a measure of Lightning's power. The result are kicks and punches that electrify and stun. [b]Phoenix[/b] The summoning of the legendary firebird releases a wave of incinerating flame from Tifa upon cast; her life force and stamina are replenished and any injuries or maladies she's suffered prior will be cured. The Phoenix assists Tifa and resurrects itself upon vanquishing. This materia will self-activate when Tifa is put in a fatal situation. In this instance Tifa receives the mentioned healing but also gains the power of flight and her techniques achieve a fire element. Phoenix similarly assists Tifa and resurrects upon death. This materia can only activate once in any respective match. Therefore if Phoenix is summoned normally and is somehow removed from the battle then it will not arise to save Tifa from death.
