Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion features 11 Summons that can help Zack in his journey, including fan-favorites Ifrit, Bahamut and Odin. Although each of them offers different types of help, some of those aids are more useful than others. Knowing which Summons are more beneficial could help players decide which ones they should try to obtain first in the game, especially since some of them could be rather difficult to get.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion has not changed many things about the Summons, and players can use the same method from the original Crisis Core to obtain them. Some Summons can only be called after defeating them in combat, while others are easier to obtain, such as Chocobo, which can be unlocked by completing the M8-4-1 mission. One Summon that players need to keep an eye on is Phoenix since it can only be acquired through a missable event in Crisis Core: FF7 Reunion.
