Meteor Strike

Meteor Strike , also known as Suplex and Meteordrive, is an ability in the Final Fantasy series. It has appeared as both an ability used by Ifrit and as a powerful technique for Monks that involves picking up enemies and slamming them to the ground.

Meteor Strike (Suplex in SNES and PlayStation versions) is a Blitz Sabin can use. If used on a single enemy its Battle power is 180, making it potentially the strongest Blitz technique. If there are more than one enemy present, the power of Meteor Strike is halved despite it only affecting one enemy.
Some enemies are unaffected by Meteor Strike, but the Phantom Train is vulnerable. Sabin's ability to suplex a train has become an inside joke among fans.
=== Final Fantasy VII ===
Meteor Strike is Tifa's sixth Limit Break. It does 1.875 times normal damage to a single enemy, and the damage can be doubled if Tifa's slot reels are stopped correctly.

Tifa uses Meteordrive at the climax of her fight with Loz in the Sector 5 slums church, rushing him along the ground and flinging him into the air, and then leaping up after him to throw him to the ground.
====Final Fantasy VII Rebirth====
Meteor Strike is Tifa's third tier limit break.
=== Final Fantasy VIII ===
Zell's Limit Break, Duel, can use Meteor Strike. Meteor Strike does more damage the more HP the target has, making it effective against powerful enemies. It is ineffective against enemies who resist Gravity damage, such as bosses. It is learned from Combat King 002. It can be used before being unlocked by inputting the correct button combination, but will not appear as an option.
Zell can also use a finishing move called Meteor Barret.
=== Final Fantasy X ===
Ifrit can use Meteor Strike to attack for moderate non-elemental damage. Its damage is considered neither physical or magical, instead falling into "special" damage category. This means it will be unaffected by Protect or Shell. Using it delays Ifrit's next turn. Belgemine's Ifrit and Isaaru's Ifrit, Grothia, both can use Meteor Strike. The boss Dark Ifrit can also uses a version of Meteor Strike, which delays the target strongly and breaks the damage limit. Dark Ifrit's Meteor Strike is magical unlike most special attacks, and hits 20,310 to 22,933 damage with no magical buffs or other protections in place.
==== Final Fantasy X-2 ====
Ifrit uses Meteor Strike when fought in Kilika Temple during Chapter 3. It inflicts moderate non-elemental damage.
=== Final Fantasy XI ===
Meteor Strike is a Blood Pact: Rage for Ifrit, purchased with three Merit Points after a Summoner has reached level 75 or higher. Meteor Strike deals massive fire magic damage to an enemy. Damage varies with Ifrit's TP.
Meteor Strike, along with the other Merit Blood Pacts, has a noticeably longer range then most other Blood Pacts, meaning these Blood Pacts are less likely to interrupt due to distance from a target. Spending additional Merit Points on this ability will increase its TP Bonus by 40 for each merit, increasing its power.
===Final Fantasy XV===
Meteor Strike is one of Ifrit's Techniques in Final Fantasy XV: Episode Ardyn. It hits one target at the cost of three tech bar segments, but must be unlocked in the Descension first for 16 AP.
=== Final Fantasy Type-0 ===
Meteor Strike is a command for the Ifrit-Class Eidolons Ifrit, Firebrand and Vulcan. The Eidolon hurls a sphere of flames at enemies, dealing fire-type damage. Ignis uses an upgraded version, called "Meteor Mash."

Meteor Strike is a HP attack used by Tifa and a Bravery attack used by Yuna. Tifa's Meteor Strike consists of a charge attack where she grabs the opponent and leaps into the air to throw them to the ground. It is learned at level 36, and requires 30 CP to equip and 130 AP to master.
Yuna's Meteor Strike summons Ifrit to perform a fiery two-hit claw attack that knocks the opponent back. It costs 30 CP to equip and 80 AP to master.
