What Eikon or Guide would you like to see next?

[Mike-rtvp]

Rift slip makes it so you can always pull off dancing steel, also making it so you can chain two zantetsukens

[mechamojureg]

You can combine Dancing Steel with Ramuh's lighting rod to not only do a much higher amount of damage, but it also counts as 2 hits per hit if you're hitting both the enemy and the ball, so you can get level 5 zantetsuken without any extra accessory or odin ability. i usually farm a level 5 zan before stagger and then use this method to hit 2 zan's in one stagger. This is very effective against a single boss.

[KaryonTheirStory]

The Ifrit move that spawns fireballs to take damage allows you to setup dancing steel with no worry against any enemy in the game

[Drago_zimoral]

@devilnevecry I would like to see your top 3 builds, and possibly your favorite abilities. You are a combo master so your preference and perspective is always valuable.

[justindavis]

Very good guide just have one small correction, The Pull of Darkness (Dancing Steel) accessory is obtained from defeating the boss at the end of the main story quest "Streets of Madness". The accessory you get from the chronolith trial is The Will of Darkness (Dancing Steel) which increases the will damage from the move. Keep up the good work, been loving your FFXVI videos!

[vicdaman]

I really love this in depth breakdown! I haven’t seen a video about an Eikon breakdown that was this good and informative! Usually they just talk about their build.

Can’t wait to see more of these for the rest of the Eikons!

[TG-Maverick]

This was an incredible tutorial. You always put out the best 'how to' guides for games. Cheers, 5/5!

[KillerUnicorn]

one thing you missed is that the downwards slash with arm of darkness continues indefinitely until you hit the ground making it very fun to use as a glider from high altitude

[miserabill]

Just finished everything in base game, coming here to see the tech is always worth it

[InvincibleUnderHeaven]

Whenever I see lvl5 zantetsuken, it reminds me of the goat Vergil.

[chaoswolf]

You can use any Odin skill without Odin being your active eikon and still gain Zan meter. Hit g with dancing and you can swap eikon still get the meter and set up for any follow up

[LeonShallop]

wow great timing just unlocked him and i am throughly overwhelmed lol

[GameBreakerGod]

Hey bro big tip for when going for parry Always charge your magic whilst attempt the parry, and release right after doing melee so that if you miss you go straight into iframe of the charged magic skill. 👊

[GaspoweR]

Major tip that I found in a different channel: you can do ANY parry (so burning blade also counts) and while you are still in the parry slow down animation immediately activate arm of darkness and then attack to do the steel counter that way.

You dont need to parry and have arm of darkness activated to do the steel counter follow up, any normal parries will do.

[andidhiaz]

of course you would cover odin first, can't miss that judgement cut end

[PharaohofCulture]

A really cool mechanic I've discovered is that- if you enter into a fight and activate lightning rod, target it with dancing steel- it actually starts up the dancing steel combo WITHOUT any enemies needing to be close by. Almost guaranteeing you a safe start to dancing steel.

Another tactic, if you can permafrost dodge enemies, you can freeze LITERALLY every enemy in the game and guarantee using dancing steel (even combining ALL OF THAT with lightning rod for extra damage)

[bfranciscop]

Trivia, 'Zantetsuken' translates roughly to 'blade which cleaves through iron'

[atomcat_v]

With how crowd control Odin is there should be a “Clive must die” difficulty where they spawn more enemies. Granted that hurts frames! But still!

[piotranest]

Brilliant guide. Thank you for posting. 👍
