Lifesaver

This ability is part of Barret’s tanking setup, when this is activated, any damage against your allies will be soaked up by Barret. Be sure you buff Barret with the Barrier Materia and it can help to use Steelskin just to increase his defense. This can be an effective tactic for some of the harder hitting attacks in the game.

Evaluation

Light Machine Gun is a strong contender for Barret’s best weapon, especially when you reach Hard Mode. It’s suited more towards Magic Attack but with Barret, you’re not out to deal as much physical damage as possible but rather supplement the other characters with magic and his tanking ability. For that reason alone, his Weapon Level 6 is very strong with the Reprieve ability and the Healing Spells MP Cost Reduction 20% skills. What’s more, you’ll find plenty of HP and Defense upgrades along with being able to extend how long Buffs stick around on him, useful for both Regen and Barrier.

When spending your SP on the Light Machine Gun, focus on Defense and HP upgrades along with the Buff extension in the early game. Once Weapon Level 6 is unlocked, be sure to make Reprieve and Healing Spells MP Cost Reduction 20% your main priority.
