Best Red XIII Weapon in FF7 Rebirth

Red XIII is a unique playable character that's available starting from Chapter 2 of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. He's a wise, red, lion-like creature with a flaming tail. Players would like to know which weapon is best for Red XIII.

Like Tifa, Red XIII is another close-range fighter who's powerful and quick on his feet. The lion's weapon is unconventional compared to the others. He uses collars, though he doesn't use them to attack enemies directly. Collars amplify his physical power instead.

Red XIII has lived a tough life. He's from Cosmo Canyon and is part of a lion race that can speak. The creature was subject to experimentation under Professor Hojo, head of the Shinra Electric Power Company's Science Research Division. He also received the name "Red XIII" during the torture. Cloud and the other party members rescued Red XIII from Shinra, and the lion decided to accompany them on their mission.
