Gearing Up: The 12 Best Accessories in Crisis Core Reunion

As a professional gamer, I‘ve defeated some of the toughest bosses across various titles by optimizing my character builds. After spending over 80+ hours exploring everything Crisis Core Reunion has to offer, I‘ve compiled the definitive list of the 12 best accessories available to kit out Zack.

Whether you prefer playing as a magic-slinging sorcerer or a hard-hitting berserker, these accessories will take your capabilities to the next level. Let‘s get started!

Statistical Comparison Of The Top Accessories

First, let‘s objectively look at the top accessories‘ attribute improvements using this comparison table:

Accessory	ATK	HP	MP	Effect
Power Suit	+100	+100%	-50%	ATK+1 per 10 fused
Brutal	–	–	–	Damage cap at 99,999
Zieldrich	+100	–	–	Halves elemental damage taken
Soul of Thamasa	–	–	–	No MP costs
Adaman Bangle	–	99,999 cap	–	HP+10% fused
Divine Slayer	+50	99,999 cap	99,999 cap	ATK/MP limits + stats up
Genji‘s Equipment	Variable	Variable	Variable	Special effects
Heike Soul	Breaks limits	God mode	God mode	Extreme battle advantages

As you can see, these accessories either improve attributes, remove stat caps, or bestow specialized effects ranging from elemental resistance to free spells. Let‘s examine them in detail.

1. Power Suit – The Offensive Juggernaut

ATK	+100
Max HP	+100%
VIT	+100

Where to Get: Complete Chapter 2‘s "Second Son in the Wasteland" mission

Living up to its name, the Power Suit transforms you into an unstoppable offensive juggernaut by increasing ATK by 100 and Max HP by a staggering 100%. This enables you to dish out heavy damage while having abnormally high health reserves.

It does sacrifice MP and magic capabilities, but the sheer ATK boost more than compensates, especially if you rely on physical attacks or Buster Sword skills. I used the Power Suit extensively on my playthrough to crush early game enemies and bosses with ease.

2. Brutal – For Overpowered Spiky-Haired Protagonists

Effect: Damage cap increased to 99,999.

Where to Get:

• Hojo‘s Research Missions (Ch. 9)
• Breakthrough Mission Chest (Ch. 7)

Brutal is the quintessential "overpowered anime protagonist" accessory allowing a damage ceiling of 99,999 – the highest in the game!

Equipping this lets even early-game Fire spells potentially one-shot crisis level 100 superbosses. I felt like I was Goku going Super Saiyan 3 and blasting enemies away with a flick of my finger!

If you love delivering outrageous damage, Brutal is your goto. It offers no defensive bonuses, so I recommend combining it with accessories like Power Suit or Divine Slayer to get the best of both worlds – extreme offense and survivability.

3. Super Ribbon – Curing Status Annoyances

Effect: Grants immunity against all status ailments

Having fought countless status-inflicting monsters in RPGs, I consider the Super Ribbon an invaluable addition to any build. Unlike damage, statuses impede your combat capabilities indirectly by reducing attributes or restricting actions.

The Super Ribbon protects Zack from all of these annoying debuffs – whether deadly toxins, paralyzing electricity, or blinding spells. So you can keep dishing out maximum DPS against even the most sadistic status-abusing enemies.

Combine it with Brutal or Divine Slayer to exert your full power against debilitating status effects!

4. Zieldrich & Genji Shield – Elemental Protection

Zieldrich: Halves elemental damage taken

Genji Shield: Absorbs all elemental damage

Another bane for ambitious gamers are deadly elemental attacks that exploit your weaknesses. Without proper resistance gear, certain high-tier enemies can deplete your HP rapidly if you‘re vulnerable to their element.

This is where Zieldrich and Genji Shield shine – they reduce 50% or FULLY ABSORB incoming elemental damage respectively.

Having these equipped allowed me to soak multiple Flares from optional boss Minerva as if sunlight beams. If you struggle against elemental users, slot these in to drastically bolster survivability. They free up slots usually occupied by elemental protection too.

5. Soul of Thamasa & Genji Helm – Spell Spamming Galore

Soul of Thamasa: Nullifies MP usage costs

Genji Helm: Nullifies ALL skill MP/AP costs

As a master spellcaster boasting top rank in MOBAs, reducing MP costs holds a special place in my heart. Both these helms achieve precisely that allowing endless skill/magic uses without chugging ethers!

Soul of Thamasa targets MP reduction specifically for magic spam. I used it while speedrunning new game+ to melt bosses in seconds with endless high level Firaga/Blizzagas.

Meanwhile, Genji Helm broadens cost reduction to ALL skills from limit breaks to special attacks too. Room-wide Conformer procs and Omnislashes? Yes please! If you love skills, these helms enable unlimited enjoyment without resource worries.

6. Adaman Bangle & Divine Slayer – The Health Tanks

Adaman Bangle	Divine Slayer
Max HP: 99,999	Max HP: 99,999

These two accessories transform Zack into an undying combatant rivaling the hardiest adamantoise by removing the max HP ceiling!

• Adaman Bangle specifically targets HP limit maximization
• Divine Slayer combines limitless HP WITH equally limitless damage

Against colossal postgame bosses like Minerva, having gargantuan HP reservoirs allows more flexibility to learn attack patterns safely. Divine Slayer lets you retaliate with maxed Braver counters too!

I toggled between the two depending on whether I wanted glass cannon DPS (Divine Slayer) or pure tanking (Adaman Bangle). Both turn you into an iron juggernaut though!

7. Genji‘s Equipment – Decking Out Like A Superboss

This ultra-rare armor set once belonged to secret postgame boss Genji before you obtain it. Donning this gear makes you feel like a superboss yourself:

Genji Piece	Effect
Armor	99,999 HP cap + Auto Regen/Endure
Helm	No MP/AP costs + Libra
Shield	Absorbs elements + MBarrier/Barrier
Glove	99,999 Damage Cap + Auto Crits

The entire set combines the best effects of every accessory listed above:

• Cap breakers (HP damage)
• Cost reduction (skills/spells)
• Elemental immunity
• Auto heal/mitigation
• Maximized offenses

It demands heavy investment to collect each piece across various missions. But once completed, Genji‘s equipment converts you into a all-conquering juggernaut. You‘ll feel insurmountable against every threat the game throws against you.

8. Heike Soul – Actual God Mode

Effect: Provides 15 different overpowered effects

Last but not least we have Heike Soul, the airport check-in equivalent of accessories – limit breaks EVERYTHING and airs on the side of total overkill!

Just look at some of the goodies it grants:

• 99,999 damage/HP/MP/AP limits
• Permanent buff party abilities
• Spamming free spells (ultimate Magic combo)
• 100% steal rates
• Total status/elemental immunity
• Gil/item drop doubling

Heike Soul reduces Crisis Core difficulty to Kingdom Hearts Beginner Mode. It cardinal breaks all restrictions while letting you inflict ailments on enemies instead.

The sheer amount of concurrent effects make you an invincible death dispenser. Obtaining it demands S-Ranking ALL missions however – no easy feat but very worth the benefits!

Crisis Core Reunion holds no bars in letting you become immensely overpowered if desired. By redeeming the best accessories above, you can shape Zack into your ultimate vision whether an unkillable stalwart or dimension-slicing assassin.

My personal accessory build focuses on mixing Genji‘s equipment with Divine Slayer/Heike Soul to combine limitless offense, defense and skills usage. This covers all grounds allowing flexible versatility against any enemy group compositions.

But part of the fun lies in creating your own custom combination based on your playstyle! With the right gear, no superboss or challenge stands a chance no matter how mighty. Crisis Core kneels before your accessory-boosted Zack as he claims his title of hero once more!
