> Description

**Refocus materia** is a File:Complete Materia from FFVII Remake.png Complete Materia in *Final Fantasy VII Remake*. It grants an additional limit break, **Refocus**, which once used, grants the user an additional ATB bar for the remainder of the battle.

## Obtained

Refocus materia is initially equipped on Aerith when she joins the party. Another can be won in the "Two-Person Team vs. Dynamic Duos" or "Three-Person Team vs. Monsters of Legend" challenges in the Shinra Combat Simulator.

## Use

Refocus adds a third ATB charge to the user for the rest of the battle and partially refills the limit gauge to make the next limit break available faster. In a long, drawn-out fight, Refocus can greatly buff a character for the rest of the battle as opposed to normal limit breaks that provide a short burst of power. In short fights, Refocus is less likely to activate, meaning File:Complete Materia from FFVII Remake.png First Strike Materia is a better alternative. Refocus can be used once per battle, meaning that it should be the first limit break a character uses in a drawn-out fight, before using their typical limit break.

Refocus is useful for Aerith who has it equipped initially. Adding a third ATB bar greatly benefits her, as her abilities are ATB-intensive, and she excels in support abilities, such as Arcane Ward or ATB Ward, before then casting magic spells. Another character who can benefit from Refocus is Tifa, who relies on performing her abilities together in quick succession in combos, and has the highest File:Speed from FFVII Remake icon.png Speed attribute. Many of Barret's abilities can optionally use all ATB charges for increased effect, meaning he can benefit tremendously from Refocus. While Cloud's abilities are typically not ATB-intensive, he can nonetheless benefit from using abilities more often.

Refocus materia can be used effectively in combination with other materia that also increase characters' ATB gauges throughout battle. These include File:Complete Materia from FFVII Remake.png ATB Stagger Materia, File:Complete Materia from FFVII Remake.png ATB Assist Materia, File:Complete Materia from FFVII Remake.png Skill Master Materia, and File:Command Materia from FFVII Remake.png ATB Boost Materia. By using these materia to increase the ATB gauge of one character quickly, Refocus allows them to build up to three charges at once to great effect in lengthier battles.

With Transference Module, Refocus can not only be used earlier in battle, but to bring online the next limit break much more rapidly because Transference Module adds to the limit gauge after ATB charges are expended, which will happen much more quickly after using Refocus, making the two a great combo. This can be used well on Tifa and Cloud, the best beneficiaries of the accessory. Spectral Cogwheel serves a similar purpose for Aerith, adding to the gauge as MP is expended. With Gotterdammerung, Refocus can be used at the beginning of a battle.
