Ultimate Weapon & Level 4 Limit Break
Venus Gospel
After the rocket in Rocket Town has been launched, talk to the old man outside the item shop. He's the one who's been so obsessed with the rocket. If you speak with him several times, he'll eventually give you Cid's ultimate weapon, the Venus Gospel.
Highwind
After getting the submarine, locate the crashed Gelnika off the shore of the Gold Saucer. Inside the cargo bay, you'll find Cid's Highwind Limit Break.
Limit Breaks
Cid lets his spear do the talking for most of his Limit Breaks. Because his fighting skills are top-notch his limit are very effective.
Level 1:
Boost Jump
Cid vaults into the air and crashes down on a single opponent's head. This is a straightforward attack that's your best bet for killing a single enemy early on.
Dynamite
Cid produces a large stick of dynamite that he hurls into a group of enemies. Once Cid learns Dynamite, it's unlikely you'll ever use Boost Jump again. It causes a fair amount of damage to each enemy in a group, but the effect isn't cumulative like Big Brawl or Dragon Dive.
Level 2:
Hyper Jump
Cid leaps into the air and drives his weapon deep into the ground, causing a huge blue explosion that damages an entire group of enemies. This is basically a more powerful version of Dynamite; it's great against a group, but loses something against individual enemies.
Dragon
Cid summons a dragon to attack one of his enemies. The dragon injures the victim and transfers the HP and MP to Cid. This is the best Level 2 attack against a single enemy. It's also effective when Cid needs a small boost to his MP; the HP boost is insignificant.
Level 3:
Dragon Dive
Cid repeatedly pounces on a group of enemies. Each attack creates a large explosion that causes heavy damage to a single opponent. The Dragon Dive is the stronger of the two Level 3 attacks, but it connects against the enemy fewer times.
Big Brawl
Cid shows off his fighting skills by leaping into a group of enemies and crushing them with a series of blazing-fast attacks. The Big Brawl hits for less each time, but it hits more times than the Dragon Dive. It's difficult to say which attack is better.
Level 4:
Highwind
Cid calls on the Highwind for assistance. The ship's crew answers by unleashing a huge salvo against the opposition. This is a great attack against a single enemy or a huge group. Each missile causes several thousand points of damage to most enemies, plus the total damage is cumulative.
