==Use==
Provoke materia draws enemies away from injured party members towards the holder of the materia, when not controlled by the player. The ability has a long duration, which increases as it levels up. Provoke allows an injured party member time to be healed and to recover, or for them to attack the now distracted enemies.
The party member with Provoke equipped should be durable enough to withstand enemy attacks. Equipping them with good armor and accessory is crucial, and defensive materia such as , , , and can be beneficial.
Barret is normally the best candidate for the materia due to his durability from having the highest HP and strong defensive attributes. Red XIII is a close favorite not only due to his durability, but his ability to counterattack; with , he may also use Sentinel Stance independently. Cloud similarly has strong enough durability to make use of the materia and counterattacks automatically when using . Cait Sith has lower defensive attributes but very high HP.
However, enemies' attention can already be somewhat directed even without Provoke because they tend to focus on the player-controlled character. Many powerful enemies, such as bosses, also tend to ignore it.
