Unlocking new Eikons is a crucial aspect of progressing in Final Fantasy 16. Each Eikon grants Clive and the player a unique ability known as an Eikonik Feat. When Clive obtains the power of Garuda, he gains the Eikonik Feat called Deadly Embrace. This ability allows Clive to pull enemies towards him and propel himself into the air. It adds an exciting new dynamic to the gameplay and combat of this real-time Final Fantasy game. However, mastering the proper usage of this ability is essential for fully harnessing its potential. Additionally, Deadly Embrace possesses a hidden feature that can greatly assist in dealing with specific airborne foes.
In Final Fantasy 16, Eikonik Feats are predetermined abilities that accompany each Eikon. The first Feat players unlock is Phoenix Shift, associated with the Eikon Phoenix. However, as soon as players acquire the power of Garuda, they can access Deadly Embrace. To activate any Eikonik Feat, players simply need to press the Circle button.
How to Use Garuda's Deadly Embrace
Pressing Circle will activate Clive's manifestation of Garuda's Claw, allowing him to shoot it towards an enemy. When the claw grabs smaller enemies, they will be forcefully drawn towards Clive, resulting in slight damage and leaving them vulnerable to a combo attack. This ability is particularly useful for targeting mages and healers amidst the enemy ranks. On the other hand, if Deadly Embrace is used on larger enemies or certain bosses, it will instead propel Clive slightly towards them in mid-air. This maneuver can be skillfully employed to create impressive aerial combos, making it a valuable addition to Clive's diverse arsenal.
Mastering Garuda's Deadly Embrace and Using it on Flying Enemies
Using Garuda's Deadly Embrace on flying enemies has an interesting effect of pulling them down to the ground. This unexpected action stuns the enemy, creating an opportunity for Clive to inflict significant damage before they can recover. To overcome the challenge of reaching such airborne foes, players can invest their AP in Final Fantasy 16 to master Deadly Embrace and expand its range. Once mastered,
will ensure that no enemy remains beyond the player's reach. Additionally, this ability synergizes well with other Eikon Powers, as many of them have limited range.
Players will be able to harness the formidable power of wind as they embark on Clive's journey of revenge. Additionally, there are exciting prospects for unlocking various other Eikon powers and the accompanying Eikonik Feats. One notable example is the defensive option offered by Titan's Eikonik Feat, which diverges from crowd control abilities. Furthermore, players have the opportunity to utilize up to three Eikons simultaneously, leading to a multitude of possible combinations. Mark your calendars for the release of Final Fantasy 16 on June 21st, exclusively for PS5.
