All Ramuh Eikon Abilities

Some of the Ramuh Eikonic abilities are unlocked by default, but you’ll have to spend ability points to unlock the ones that are locked. Additionally, each ability can also be upgraded and mastered to increase both attack damage and stagger damage. Here is an overview for each of Ramuh’s abilities:

1. Judgment Bolt

The Judgement Bolt is undoubtedly the best Ramuh Eikonic Ability. It not only deals massive damage to the health of an enemy, but it also causes huge stagger damage additionally. That will not only allow you to quickly beat some of the minibosses, but it will allow you to stagger bosses more often as well.

Pros

• Deals massive damage to both health and stagger bar, which makes boss fights easier.
• Obliterates most normal enemies in a single strike.
• Even the strongest bosses in Final Fantasy 16 can be stunned easily if you use two Judgement Bolts.
• It can be used from range as well, making it possible to safely cast the ability.

Cons

• Not great for crowd control and will only work against a single target.
• Huge recharge time after a single use; save it until you have to fight a boss.
• Requires a large number of ability points in order to unlock.

2. Thunderstorm

Another great Eikonic ability to obliterate a single target in Final Fantasy 16. It can be used as a great finisher to your melee combos in order to finish off the enemy. It has good attack power and stagger power additionally. You can also use it from range and from a safe distance from the enemy.

Pros

• Good Eikonic ability to finish off a single enemy or to deal decent damage to a mini-boss/boss.
• Recharges quickly and can be used multiple times during a fight.
• Causes the stagger bar enemies to deplete alongside dealing health damage.
• It is unlocked by default to use when you get the Ramuh Eikon.

Cons

• It can only be used on a single target.
• No crowd control can be achieved with this ability.

3. Pile Drive

Pile Drive is the first Ramuh ability on this list, which is great for crowd-controlling in Final Fantasy 16. It deals equally good health damage and stagger damage. And that too not to a single enemy, but to every enemy that is inside the range of the attack.

Pros

• Really good for crowd control during fights.
• Make sure all of the enemies are close to you before you use Pile Drive for maximum damage.
• It quickly recharges as well, so you can use it again and again during fights.
• It is unlocked by default as well; you won’t have to buy it using ability points.

Cons

• Weak damage for a single target in Final Fantasy 16.
• Not that great for boss fights.

4. Lightning Rod

Lightning Rod is one of the best Eikonic abilities for crowd control. You basically create a lightning ball that continues to deal damage as more enemies are struck by it. You can continue to perform combos as the enemies get weakened by this attack.

Pros

• Great for staggering multiple enemies at once.
• One of the best crowd-controlling attacks.

Cons

• It is not unlocked by default, and ability points are required to unlock it.
• Weak ability against a single target or bosses additionally.

5. Blind Justice

Blind Justice is also unlocked by default and is the default R2 attack for the Ramuh Eikon. You can basically launch balls of lightning against multiple enemies at once. The damage dealt is actually quite low; even the stagger damage is not that much. But it can be used on multiple targets when they’re down.

Pros

• Good for keeping multiple enemies on edge during combat.
• It can be chained in between combos.
• It can be used over and over again without waiting for a recharge.
• Good crowd control.

Cons

• Not enough damage.
• Almost useless in boss fights.
