Fighting Spirit¶
Fighting Spirit is an ability that doesn’t reach the damage highs of Swirling Storm but is useful for other applications. When used, Sonon will focus on a single enemy and strike them repeatedly for constant damage. This is a useful Weapon Ability to have Sonon focus on a single target as his strikes will continue for some time. The enemy being struck will usually, in turn, then focus on Sonon, allowing you to attack without threat from range with Yuffie.
Evaluation¶
The Indurate Staff’s Weapon Cores make look rather lackluster, with very few exciting abilities but it does make up for it with all of the Attack Power boosts available. When fully upgraded, this weapon is by far Sonon’s hardest hitting and should that be your main focus, this is the weapon for you. It does have a few unique abilities worth considering, the guarding ones especially are great to pair up with both Provoke and Steadfast Block for a tanky Sonon.
When spending your SP on the Indurate Staff, focus on obtaining all of the Attack Power boosts available. Once you have access to both Guard abilities, unlock them immediately and set a Steadfast Block Materia on Sonon. Like always, the ATB Charge Rate ability is another you should unlock as soon as it’s available.
