Step 2: Prayer Materia & use Chakra.
Prayer:
Great for regular battles, it can heal your character without using MP.
Before finishing off the enemy, make a habit of queuing for prayer.
Chakra:
To share Hp with other characters, use Barett's ability.
You should use your chakra to heal your teammates and yourself equally.
Step 3: You should always open Shinra boxes.
MPs will not always be recovered.
