    Default Materia stacking?

    I was just wondering if independant materia stacks, like enemy lure?

    Some independent materia does, like HP plus, but percentage bonuses can never stack past 100%. This means that if you use 5 magic materias that each give a 10% MP boost, putting on more than one MP Plus materia won't make any difference, because the total bonus will be above 100%, but is capped down to 100%.

    Counters stack up to 8 times, Chocobo Lure stacks too, but is capped at 2 maxed materias. Cover stacks too, but overflows above 255%.

    Are you talking about counter or counter attack? Cause Counter is support materia, while counter attack is independent.

    Probably counterattack, though Counter may stack too if you have a second equipped to another materia. I have not tried that before.

    Counters: Counter Attack, Counter, Magic Counter, Final Attack.
    Up to 8 of these counters take effect (Counter Attack has priority).

    You're pretty good at this double-posting deal :p.

    Might be hard to get an exact answer to this without having access to the exact scripts used in the game.

    Or counting the amount of steps between each encounter for like.... 1000 encounters and see if there is a difference.

    -edit-
    I was actually editing my post to make it less spammy, but it was deleted before I was done so I was like wtf why won't my edit attempt update?!

    I don't see why Enemy Lure wouldn't stack, up to a certain point.

    I think I looked this up once, and 2 maxed enemy lures will cap it.

    Edit: So yes, it will stack, but only up to 2, if I remember right.
