I appreciate that you put this together without spoiling things. So many of these videos talking about combat, especially Eikon abilities, are filled with spoilers for no reason.

This man fit 12 tips into eight minutes. MVP.

Don't try to weave magic burst between attacks. Do one magic burst after the first sword hit, then hold the magic button instead. Release the magic button once the sword combo is finished. The amount of dmg you do is actually HIGHER than perfectly weaving magic burst between attacks. The only advantage of weaving magic burst between every attack compared to 1 magic burst + charged shot is the fact that you build up stagger and stagger multiplier faster, but it's very inconsistent that you can perfectly weave magic burst with every hit.

Another thing you can do with the Ultimate attacks for each eikon is hold the charge on your blade in the middle of the ultimate animation allowing you to do a heavy attack as you come out of it.

Ifrits abilities for mobs and raising stagger multiplayer, Garuda for the stagger bar and ramuhs lightning and judgemend bolt to finish a stagger is heaps of fun

[TamTu]

Major compliments on usage of the photo mode to get some epic (and not to mention relevant) b-roll footage!

[leocreuu]

The trick I noticed with magic burst is to press triangle as soon as your last hit touches the enemy not after

[Slykillful]

Get the item that allows you to hold your charged spells. It’s really good at extending combos! The more I Garuda the more I love her combo potential.

[AquilaLiberum]

My go to combo at the minute is
Ifrit’s Will - o - the - Wykes —> magic burst combos until 1/2 stagger, then Garuda’s Deadly Embrace to topple, Gouge to deplete remaining stagger bar, then Ramuh’s Judgement Bolt, Thunderbolt, back to Ifrit for Ignition, back to Garuda for Wicked Wheel and finish off with Downburst

[JMrealgamer]

Good prep. I’ll be playing this game soon enough!

Percentage are always a bit messed up, you don't increase your damage by 150%, or it would be a 2.5 modifier. You do only 50% extra damage, which amount to doing 150% damage, but it's not an increase of 150%.

"I love the combat, the animations are amazing, this game is awesome, I love it"

[agidyne]

I knew most of this stuff, but god, do I love this game.

The only thing I didn't know was the ring. I have it, but I passed up on using it. Looks really cool. Think I'll give it a try later on.

[havocsurge]

Thanks for the great tips. Maybe mention in the title that there are no spoilers (apart for the one that you warned about).
Also, thanks for that warning :D
I'm interested though, it looks like you're playing on performance mode. What do you think about it?
The mentions of the game going bellow 1080p is what's stopping me from using it.

About the burning blade lift, is it possible to do with the control schemes that have x as jump and sq. As atk? Because holding melee for burning blade and then x would just do the lunge move wouldnt it? And theres no way you can charge it midair from a single jump first…or does it still work i havent tried it

[LoveSeeker]

Lightning Rod into Will o Wakes. Tons of damage and builds up multipliers extremely fast on staggered enemies. I usually folllow up with other multi hit skills, like titans punch, garudas wicked wheel and gouge. Im mastering bahamuts ultimate to try as well because its a laser that should hit a ton of times.

[lordbingus]

Another quick couple that weren’t mentioned:
Play on basically any control scheme aside from Type A. Having your magic on a trigger button feels much better, and opens your options up more.

Burning Blade can be kept through phoenix shift, etc. so for example, the first combo Arekkz shows could have burning blade up, shift, use it to lift em, do a full air combo + burst then drop em or use Torgal to keep em up.

Last one’s somewhat obvious, but good use of Torgal can keep enemies downed/in the air near-infinitely.

[RealityCheck]

These tips are great but i need to know what actual buttons to push. Your video shows flashing buttons but when i try i get nothing. For example, heatwave has a square on the attributes screen, but what other button do i press to make it work? Gouge has a green square to use the claws…but what other button do i press? The burning blade…the same thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Kev-O]

my forearm hurts from pressing the buttons so much

[pastrana]

my biggest issues is that i love deadly embrace so much that i default want to have the wind eikon at all times which makes me frustrated that we can't move the o abilities to other eikon loadouts.
