Tifa Lockhart build?
- Thread starter Ranma
- Start date
theres still a lame amount of fist weapons.
there could be a lot of cooler outfits/melee weapons imo, still waiting for this and this to get in before starting another run through.
though i did look through the wiki and found these:
https://wiki.smutosaur.us/TiTS/Knuckle_Busters
https://wiki.smutosaur.us/TiTS/Custom_Shock_Gear
i think they will be your best bet in combination with a simple physique mercenary build.

There's also the Predator Talons. Technically available at level 6 via the Ice Queen distress call. Personally, I wait until after Kara Quest 2 because you miss out on the (currently useless) Broken Psi-Amp otherwise.
I've never been able to beat Shizuya before level 9, but that may be the result of always being under-statted until after Zheng Shi. Maybe someone who actually spends their points would do better.
I think any 'build' is only going to be a very rough approximation limited to weapon type and general aesthetic. No Limit Break-like mechanic is the big thing, as that's the most important character differentiation in FF 7. Especially the original.
In comparison to the other party members, Tifa had very high Luck, highish Strength and Dexterity and low HP and Vitality. You might actually be looking at a Melee Smuggler, stat-wise. They can pick up Low Blow, after all. Alpha Strike combos well with Can Opener on a Melee Smuggler (Can Opener is Physique-based). Normally, I'd say Tifa doesn't strike me as wearing heavy Armor, but then, nobody in FF 7 does. Nanaki is effectively naked! The closest is Sephiroth's pauldrons.
Melee Smuggler also fits her role in the Remake. Low HP and Defense, high Single Target damage and the queen of Staggered Bonus Damage increases. Custom Shock Gear is probably the best weapon for this because Sneak Attack triggers off of Stun, meaning you don't need a setup round. The only really weird bit is Sneak Attack also scaling off Intelligence (Int/2), and Tifa's magic wasn't very good. Then again, FF 7 doesn't have do Intelligence = Magic like a lot of games, it just has Magic. Still, a good bit of damage is from Level.

More replies than I expected really.
What about her clothes though? I'm curious if it is actually possible to dress up like her in game?
P.S. The Knuckle Busters do sound like the closes thing to Tifa's default gloves I can think of in game.
Maybe it could be given to her using titsed to start off with them?

Uhhh, probably just the Comfortable Clothes which are generic enough to fit the bill for... just about anything really. Or the Cheerleader Uniform if you squint a bit and ignore the pom-poms and color descriptions. A tight top and short skirt are close enough to Tifa's normal look..
