Final Fantasy 16follows Clive Rosfield as he attempts to make Valisthea a better place for Bearers, citizens who are born with the power to cast magic. Unfortunately for him, many disagree with what he’s trying to do, and since most won’t consider listening to what he has to say, Clive is usually forced to resort to violence.

As Ifrit’s Dominant, Clive has access to a variety of fiery abilities that he can use to take his enemies down.Every ability inFinal Fantasy 16has a specific function, and since so many become available while progressing the story, players will likely struggle with choosing which ones to unlock first.The Ignition abilityis one of the most useful abilities Clive acquires duringFinal Fantasy 16’s early game, but using it effectively can take a great deal of practice.
What Does The Ignition Ability Do?
When activated, the Ignition ability allows Clive tocharge into an enemywhilecontinually damaging them with his sword. If the enemy on the receiving end of this attack is small enough, they will be dragged along by Clive’s blade until the attack ends. Ignition also allows players to move Clive around and aim him at enemies, permitting him to attack and drag multiple enemies if he collides with more than one.

The only real downside to Ignition is thatit won’t drag large enemies, but it can still be used to rapidly decrease these specific enemies’Stagger Meters, which can be extremely useful duringFinal Fantasy 16’s harder battles.
