Final Fantasy 16 Best Abilities You Should Be Using (FF16 Best Abilities)

[@billyjoesarangelo1608]

Diamond Dust also eats out a lot of enemies' stagger meter. Helpful during boss fights. Once enemy is staggered blast them with flames of Rebirth then Giga Flare

[@Verd254]

Diamond Dust is also a good opening move on an already staggered enemy. The multiplier builds up with Will damage and DD almost gets you to 1.5 while freezing the stagger bar.

[@ZacaryCookFTW]

i usually get bahamut's o ability to lvl 4 right before stagger phase then i do flames of rebirth>gouge>windupp>upheaval>gigaflare for the stagger phase for huge dmg. though i shouldve though to add lightning rod first for even more dmg

[@minhvo4450]

You're also completely invulnerable during the animation too, what a great risk free ability.

I recommend using the Lighting Rod ability in conjunction with either Whykes or Raging Fists to really rack up a high damage multiplier, or just to get that stagger bar down fast.

[@rudeboy076]

Diamond Dust is visually and sonically so satisfying to use. Ntm the way it simply decimates the stagger bar. Easily my favorite ability in the game.

[@calebstephan2083]

Most of Odin's abilities don't do much damage but that one dimension slash ability is broken. It does more damage than giga flare and giga already does more damage than the other eikonic abilities.

[@thejoaquindead9515]

I believe it’s the only ability besides Gigaflare that has 5 stars of damage

[@acousticmario6109]

gigaflare is garbage. it takes far too long. you could do far more damage using the wind abilities while you sit there doing nothing waiting for giga flare.

​@@acousticmario6109not sure what you mean by "takes too long." cooldown is great for me and is available pretty much whenever I need it. Even when I don't. The amount of damage it does is well worth it.

[@kinsan89]

The level 5 Zentatsuken (definitely misspelled) is my go-to ad clearer, I don't think I've seen an enemy without a stagger bar live one

[@jordanjackson4840]

I finally managed to get my hand on a PS5 and FF16 . I’m at the end and I’ve enjoyed my time with it. Took some time to get used to it but once I figured out the combos and what works best with what, the game opened up. I knew from the jump that Gigaflare and Zantesuken were gonna be broken. I’m kinda surprised that Impulse didn’t make the list. It provides some serious crowd control with it’s only drawback being it doesn’t last very long but it’s cooldown is very short so it almost don’t even matter. Gungnir is really fun too.

[@motivepigeon]

Flames of Rebirth can also do double damage with the lightning rod ability. This brings the damage up to around the same amount as Judgement Bolt I haven't unlocked the orbs yet, but something tells me it's an amazing combo with lightning rod

It was this guide that set up me using Ramuh's Lightning Rod, Bahamut's Gigaflare, and Shiva's Diamond Dust as staples in any build. Now the 2 new Eikonic movesets changed some stuff, but playing around 🥳

[@ARMRStudios]

Just started Final Fantasy mode, my go to combo for bosses is Giga Flare followed by Zentetsuken, usually break 100K damage each time.

[@georgetidwell003]

My favorite ability is wykes. I love having fire orbs spinning

[@opgam3r482]

Flames of the Phoenix, Judgement Bolt, Gigaflare, Garuda's spin cycle (lol) Willy-o-wrikes (spelling?) and the Pile drive are my current "String" of Icon abilities mixed w/ combo's to kill an enemy in 1-2 cycles (100k+ Dmg w/o the 5% increase from that gauntlet or increase in attack %'s... Even though I heard the Berserker Ring is a Net loss, I still like the openings/cancels/ and counter window it provides leading to multiplier damage but lower base counter damage. I have very low windows of taking damage... But there are SO many other builds I want to master.. I haven't even experimented w/ Odin's more than a minute or two, and found myself wanting to stack Odin's O ability along w/ his icon abilities since they feed so well into each other.

[@Ghanst1519]

I do 170k dmg on staggered target by the end of the game. Maintaining 1 centimeter amount of stagger bar, i build up lvl4 wings of light, release it the immediately cast Diamond dust. Now staggered, use Limit Break, use Will o Wykes then Gigaflare then Judgementbolt next Zantetsuken and end it with Wind Up. What's your combo?

[@RenatoGPadilla]

I NEVER leave the Hideaway without Garuda's Trait. That claw grab on half-stagger is AWESOME! Gauge is the only ability I have that isn't a Super. So the SECOND Stagger happens, I just Limit Break and unload EVERYTHING. Garuda super first for the constant damage, then Judgement Bolt and Gigaflare fo the crazy burst, then Diamond Dust to extend Stagger just a LITTLE more and then Flames of Rebirth for the heal... And if it's still staggered, Zantetsuken. The only problem with this is that getting an enemy to half-stagger, especially on FF mode, is a drag and a half...

[@mauricewilliams9749]

Satellite added to bahamuts circle ability helps you maintain attack while it charges

[@robertovelazquez1254]

I use that in conjunction with the garuda tornado to do a lot of chip damage when im wailing on a staggered enemy and its great

[@joshbrown9018]

Shiva's Diamond Dust ability is also good to use on a staggered monster because it has a high RAV attack and drives up your stagger meter faster

[@opgam3r482]

I wish they added 2 emblem slots, or a category separate, allowing maybe a "Hilt" tab, and your standard 1,2,3 emblem slots... Especially since once engaged, you can't change emblems..

[@Prockski]

Not sure why you don’t point out that level 5 Zantesugen will kill all normal enemies in one shot. On final fantasy mode it’s an amazing time saver.

[@thegamewin100]

Giga flare is the best it comes back in just 60 seconds too making it a must use attack

[@Mike-rt2vp]

Zentetsuken does a little bit more dmg. So I chain them together using the animation cancel and dancing steel to get one more Zentets at the end.

[@xenghuong]

Just realized you can attach different eikons to different abilities ....game changer my mind blown

[@opgam3r482]

Does the Magic Will increase charm apply to Satellite? I was a fiend first playthrough so i think I have most every available charm and rare mats... I'm looking to expand my usual "Cycle" which starts w/ attacking combo's to a stager, pull them down, use two Icon Ability to hard stagger them, and burn through them w/ flames of the Phoenix/ and Judgement bolt, so which Garuda's "Spin cycle" (that's what i call it lol) is recharged for a nice ending combo... I've only reached 106k during a hard stagger on large enemies... I don't know if that's good or not... But I want to mix it up...

[@opgam3r482]

That Garuda combo you mentioned can be ended w/ an exclamation point if use downward thrust increase damage... I have a question, the charm that increases flame blade, does that only apply to standing charge, or aerial, dash stab etc? I tried doing the math but can't really tell it apart due to multiple hits, and by the time I'm using my standard bnb combo, multipliers (yellow numbers/interruption/ staggers) get in the way and mess up testing the same combo w/ and w/o the item lol. Please advise.

[@huskymirai5824]

If you combo satellite with the ifrit flame orb thing you just mash square triangle it raises the stagger bar so quick

[@DrierHyperion21]

And use inferno with will of the wisps which is also a great combo

For bosses. I use will o wyke, impulse and limit break to eat their health and stagger. Wind up and thunderstorm helps with knocking of chunks of stagger gauge. Gigaflare and dancing steel for mitigating powerful attacks and groups.

[@mooberrypie2637]

Does Lightning Rod also work with the Phoenix Rebirth ability where it gets lots of hits? I’m imagining a setup where you bring 3 stagger-focused abilities and then Lightning Rod/Gigaflare/Phoenix Rebirth which would both proc Lightning Rod a ton.

You only need 1 or 2 stagger abilities Diamond dust and Impulse will insta stagger bosses

Lightning rod, to diamond dust, to giga flair, to flames of rebirth, to Zentetsuken, to animation cancel, to dancing steel, to ani cancel, to another zentetsuken. After that limit break, because all your abilities are on cooldown and the lightning rod will probably have just gone away.
