How to get more enemy skills in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

To get more skills in your Enemy Skill materia, you need to assess enemies in the regions and dungeons you explore, defeat enemy intel foes, and level up your Enemy Skill. This will unlock a Biology combat challenge in Chadley’s Combat Simulator.

Take these on, and you’ll earn an enemy skill of a unique enemy you defeated in the area! Chadley will always show you what your next list of requirements is for the next skill. If you forgot to assess any of the regional enemies, you can take on the combat challenges in hopes that they'll be there (they usually are).
