==Use==
The Mythril Claws provide Tifa with the highest raw magic attack attribute boost of her weapons, and are the only weapon for Tifa that provide a higher magic attack than attack power boost. They also provide her the highest MP boost. The abilities include a 10% increase to her ATB charge rate, boosts to damage with , reduction in the MP cost of casting spells, and a 30% chance to enter battle with advanced chi without needing to use Unbridled Strength. At Weapon Level 6, it grants her Reprieve, meaning Tifa can survive otherwise fatal attacks at 1 HP.
Mythril Claws greatly improve Tifa's magical damage. Due both to the magic attack attribute and to a reduction in costs of MP spells, Mythril Claws also make casting spells much more MP-efficient. Although they do not provide her a boost in , Tifa's natural speed attribute is still the highest of any character. With Mythril Claws equipped, Tifa will be the fastest mage in the party, and though her magic spells individually will not deal as much damage as Cloud's or Aerith's can, she can still charge them faster, potentially leading to higher damage per second.
Mythril Claws' main drawback is that they compromise in many other areas. The weapons provide a significantly lower attack power than her other weapons, making her physical damage much lower than its usual potential. This means Tifa will rely on spells and not on her existing physical damage ability kit. Compared to , Mythril Claws are better for MP efficiency and damage output, but are also slower and less rounded. Mythril Claws are best equipped either in situations where enemies resist physical damage and Tifa will need to be used as a mage, or among players who prefer to take advantage of Tifa's speed to use as a mage rather than as a physical attacker.
