Braver::
Cloud performs a leaping chop that splits a single enemy in two. Unless you're facing a really strong enemy that isn't a boss, this is usually your best Level 1 Limit Break. The attack is stronger than the Cross-Slash, so it usually kills weaker enemies.

Cross-Slash::
With several powerful slashes, Cloud causes massive damage to a single opponent. If the enemy survives the attack, there is a chance that it may cause paralysis. It can't paralyze enemies who are normally immune to paralysis, like most bosses.

Blade Beam::
Waves of energy rush from Cloud's sword and collide with a single enemy. The remaining energy then splits into smaller, weaker waves hitting any remaining enemies. Always target the strongest enemy in the group, because the intial wave causes about three times as much damage as the smaller secondary waves.

Climhazzard::
Cloud skewers a single enemy and then leaps high into the sky to cause greater damage. This is best used against a single opponent or any really strong opponents you encounter. Eventually the Blade Beam attack will become ineffective, but the Climhazzard attack should be useful throughout most of the game.

Meteorain::
While leaping into the air, Cloud unleashes a barrage of meteors upon a group of foes causes up to four seperate hits. This is actually best used against a single enemy, unless the targeted group is fairly weak. Used against one opponent, this attack can cause as much as 12,000 points of damage.

Finishing Touch::
Cloud creates a large whirlwind that sucks a group of opponents into oblivion, which causes them to either immediatley perish or suffer extensive damage from falling back to the ground. Most opponents simply perish, but larger creatures like bosses will always fall back to the ground. Save this Limit Break for groups-it's completely wasted on a single enemy.

Omnislash::
Cloud assaults his opponent with a long series of powerful sword attacks. This can be used against a single enemy or a group; either way, this is an extremely powerful attack. With the correct sword in hand, this attack can actually cause just as much, if not more, damage than the fabled "Knights of the Round" Mater

Although he rarely admits it, Cloud is often quite withdrawn and introspective. He knows that there is a lot that he does not understand about himself, and this causes him to be irritable at times, and sometimes even to snap at friends. Toward the beginning of his work as an AVALANCHE mercenary, he also has a very large ego pertaining to his skills and his past with SOLDIER. He changes for the better once he realizes that there are bigger problems than himself to deal with.
