Character

Barret Wallace

Barret is the 35-year-old leader of the rebel team known as AVALANCHE. He leads the team in the quest to stop Shinra's Mako Reactors and save the life of the planet. Although he is truly devoted to the team, Barret often regrets having to leave his young daughter, Marlene, alone or in the care of others. Barret's motives are unclear, but most believe that Shinra was somehow responsible for the death of his wife.

Although he may not look it, Barret is one of the most versatile characters in the game. Unlike most, he has weapons for close- and long-range combat, which enables him to cause heavy damage without taking an equal amount in return. Avoid loading Barret up with Materia that reduces his hit points and strength. You may want tu use him as a damage magnet later, and if so he'll need to be as strong as possible.

Barret's Limit Breaks

Level 1 :

Big Shot

Barret fires a large ball of energy from his gun, which causes massive damage to his opponent. For the first portion of the game the Big Shot should come in really handy, but it quickly becomes obsolete as your enemies increase in strength

Mindblow

Barret fires a large ball of blue energy from his gun, which depletes his opponent's magic points. Such attacks often go unappreciated, but the Mindblow can turn a fierce magic user into a helpless wimp.

Level 2 :

Grenade Bomb

Targeting an entire group of enemies, Barret launches a deadly grenade into the enemy ranks. This is typically the Level 2 Limit Break of choice. It causes a decent amount of damage to entire groups of enemies.

Hammerblow

Barret's powerful punch sends an enemy into orbit. Barret can completely remove an enemy from combat with the Hammerblow, but the attack is best used against individual non-Boss monsters. The Hammerblow doesn't cause any direct damage, so it's worthless against Boss creatures.

Level 3 :

Satellite Beam

Proving he has friends in high places, Barret calls for the ultimate air strike against a group of enemies. The beams hit for about 3000 - 4000 points of damage on each creature. Although this attack is great against a group of enemies, it's considerably less effective against alone attacker.

Ungarmax

Lock and load ! Barret dumps a large amount of ammunition into a group of enemies causing massive damage. The Ungarmax hits more times than the Satellite Beam, but the hits are weaker.

Level 4 :

Catastrophe
Barret uses his gun arm to hover over a group of enemies, and then burns them to a crisp with a super-heated plasma blast. As you might expect, this is the best of Barret's Limit Breaks. It works well against a group or a single enemy. It does have one downside : Because the attack isn't focused, a single enemy won't feel the full force of the blow.
