Starlight Phone (Final Fantasy VII)

The Starlight Phone is a weapon for Cait Sith in Final Fantasy VII. It is available at Midgar Underground late in the game, and is Cait Sith's second-best weapon below his ultimate weapon, HP Shout. The weapon has eight linked Materia slots and strong stats overall.
As with other Cait Sith weapons, the Starlight Phone itself does not strike an enemy, but commands his Mog, meaning Cait Sith's damage is still Hit rather than Shout. However, its Attack stat still counts towards damage dealt. 
==Obtained==
The Starlight Phone can be found in Midgar Underground during "Mako Cannon Rampage". If it is not obtained during this time, it is permanently missed.
==Mechanics==
As the Starlight Phone has a base Attack stat bonus of 88, the base damage for physical attacks when the Starlight Phone equipped is in the following formula:
:\text{Base Damage} = \text{(88 + Strength)} + \frac{\text{(88 + Strength)} + \text{Level}}{32} \times \frac{\text{(88 + Strength)} \times \text{Level}}{32}
where "Level" is Cait Sith's current level and "Strength" is his Strength stat. The Starlight Phone also has an Attack% (Accuracy) of 102%, and grants a +31 bonus to Cait Sith's Magic stat.
Uniquely, Starlight Phone boosts Cait Sith's Vitality, which determines his base physical defense, by +30.
==Use==
The Starlight Phone is the second-best weapon for Cait Sith overall, and his best weapon that has normal AP growth on all its Materia slots. Having the best possible Materia slots and very strong stats overall, the Starlight Phone is an excellent choice for Cait Sith. Due to his strong natural Magic stat and unreliable physical damage, Cait Sith is best played as a spellcaster, for which the Starlight Phone's Materia slots and Magic boost make it a great choice.
The Starlight Phone has eight linked Materia slots that should be used for Magic and Summon Materia, and paired with Support Materia. Cait Sith can equip both offensive and defensive magic to take advantage of his stats. With Master Magic or Master Summon, Cait Sith can apply Support Materia to all of his abilities. Cait Sith can also equip Independent Materia that boost his stats, such as HP Plus and Magic Plus, or the Enemy Skill Materia (which can also benefit from Cait Sith's Magic stat), and the W-Magic Materia can be useful also.
Starlight Phone is the second-best weapon for Cait Sith, and because HP Shout provides no AP growth for its slots, Starlight Phone is an excellent alternative. This means Starlight Phone can be used generally while HP Shout is used in certain instances. If the Starlight Phone is missed, the Gold M-phone is a good alternative.
