11 Cloud is a legacy Vision in Final Fantasy Resonance, originally from FINAL FANTASY VII. His official bio for this game identifies him as a former SOLDIER 1st Class. He wields lightning- and water-element attacks and learns multiple abilities focused on dealing critical damage.

55 Critical damage is Cloud's specialty among the named Visions: his ability list centers on landing critical hits rather than on defense or support. His lightning and water attacks also feed the stagger game, since every hit shaves an enemy's Stagger Gauge and weakness hits shave it faster; see Stagger System.

77 His signature Cross-slash survived the rebuild. The producer used Cloud as the system's working example: equip his Vision to any party member and that member can use Cross-slash. Everything else in his kit was designed from zero for this game, so his elements and abilities are specific to Resonance rather than imports from FINAL FANTASY VII. Abilities learned from his Vision stay equippable while other Visions are active, within the cost limit covered at Abilities and Mastery.
