weapons
Although a magic user, Terra is also quite capable at direct combat, and can use knives and swords. This is due to her being brought up as a soldier, eventually becoming a Magitek Elite.
Of the last weapons you can get, which one works best for Terra is dependant on whether or not you've focused on training her magical abilities or physical attack. Using espers, which give attribute bonuses upon level up when equipped, you can take her down either path.
If you decide to make Terra a primary magic-user, magic-enhancing swords would be best (for example, the Enhancer). If you train her as a warrior, any of the great swords would work well.
But my favourite tactic is to turn her into the ultimate combination of both. The trick is to switch between two espers that increase her Magic and HP stats (such as Bahamut or Terrato for HP and Raiden, Starlet or Bismark for Magic) when you're raising her level. Start out by raising her HP to max, which is 9,999. If you equip her with the Ultima sword, which will do the same amount of physical damage as the user's total HP, she'll be doing 9,999 damage with a maxed out HP stat. Concentrate on increasing her Magic and other stats from then on.
