Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth allows characters to perform some of the best attacks in combination with their allies, known as a Synergy Skill.

Every party member has a variety of unique Synergy Skills at their disposal, combining their unique strengths together. Using these skills will be key to victory, as they can charge up ATB quickly!

In this guide, we look at what we consider the best Synergy Skill in the game.

Best Synergy Skill | Bullet Batter and Howling Smash

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: Best Synergy Skill - Bullet Batter and Howling Smash

There are actually two best Synergy Skills in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This is because there are two extremely strong skills that work identically, with some very minor differences.

Remember not to confuse Synergy Skills and Synergy Abilities, though!

These Synergy Skills are Barret’s Bullet Batter and Red XIII’s Howling Smash. Both of these are available for Cloud!

Using Bullet Batter in the air

Barret’s Bullet Batter

This synergy skill makes Barret shoot in Cloud’s direction. Then, Cloud reacts and reflects the bullets toward any enemies in front. This does pretty good Physical damage and has fantastic range.

Red XIII’s Howling Smash

On the other hand, the Howling Smash works similarly, with Red XIII throwing a magic projectile which Cloud bats toward enemies. The only difference from Bullet Dance is that it does Magical damage instead.

Using Punisher Mode Bullet Batter in melee range

The sword swings deal extra damage at close range, too!

What truly makes both of these Synergy Skills stand out is just how incredibly easy they are to use, as their ranged properties mean you don’t need to worry about positioning or anything of the sort.

Similarly, they can launch weak foes into the air with ease and makes it easy to juggle enemies. What’s more, you’ll generate a lot of ATB for both Cloud and his partner.

It’s also worth noting that both Synergy Skills work differently for Cloud’s Operator and Punisher modes.

Combining Bullet Batter and Howling Smash

In Operator mode, Cloud will bat up to 3 consecutive projectiles in quick succession. In Punisher mode, Cloud will just bat one stronger projectile that hits twice.

If you’re quick, you can combo the Operator and Punisher versions of these Synergy Skills, as they can be canceled into each other.

However, it’s easier to just alternate between Bullet Dancer and Howling Smash by having both Red XIII and Barret in your party.

Nonetheless, now you know what the best Synergy Skill is for an easy victory!

Venezuelan gamer cursed by being interested by most games, resulting in a ridiculous backlog he’ll never be able to conquer. Been gaming for over two decades now! Few things exemplify his wide variety in gaming tastes as the fact that he’s a big fan of both Souls games and the Atelier series at the same time. Also a big fan of Yakuza/Like a Dragon, Deadly Premonition, Zero Escape, and Dead Rising, among others. Considers Lost Judgment and Sekiro to both be masterpieces.
