What Does Luck Do in FF7 Rebirth? Answered

There are quite a few stats to keep track of in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Most of them are pretty self-explanatory, but there’s just one that feels like a bit of an enigma. Here’s everything you need to know about the Luck stat in FF7 Rebirth.

FF7 Rebirth Luck Stat Explained

As the name might suggest, the Luck stat in FF7 Rebirth determines how lucky you are. There are a few things in combat that feel completely chance-based, such as landing critical hits, and that’s where Luck comes into play. Here are the tangible effects of the Luck stat in FF7 Rebirth:

• Increases chances of landing a critical hit in combat
• Increases success rate of the Steal or Mug command in combat
• Increases success rate of the Morph command in combat

If you want to create a build that’s centered around landing reliable critical hits, you’re going to want to make sure that your Luck stat is as high as possible. Similarly, if you want to Morph and Steal a lot and get most of your items that way, Luck will also help with that.

So now that we’ve gone over exactly what this enigmatic stat does in FF7 Rebirth, let’s talk about how you can increase it. Like all the other stats in the game, your Luck stat will also go up naturally as your characters level up. But if you want to boost the stat a bit more, you’ll need to equip the Luck Up Materia.

Similar to the rest of the Materia orbs in the game, you’ll need to level up the Luck Up Materia with AP, which you can get just by taking part in combat. Once you level it up all the way, you can boost your Luck stat by a whopping 50%, which is certainly nothing to scoff at.
