Assault 1: Aerial SlashĪerial Slash is the only AoE Egi Assault 1 among all pets.Īt 150 potency/target it is a gain at 2 targets over Ifrit’s Crimson Cyclone by 50p. This can matter in dungeons where she can fall behind relative to trash packs are being pulled to. Lastly with her being at range be mindful of her placement with regards to a party so that you buff them all with Devotion. If she is not facing her target already she will have to turn before she can cast.Īnother thing to be mindful of is that Wind Blade has a 1s cast time making her weaving of Egi Assaults a bit clunkier than with the melee Egis with instant GCDs. One thing to be mindful of when using Garuda-Egi is that where she is facing can dictate how long it takes for her to spool up her Wind Blades. In all current cases this never happens meaning for the time being there are no instances where we swap to Garuda for single target uptime reasons. However, it requires Ifrit’s single target uptime to be < 37.5% (< 75% with 2 targets). With this in mind it requires 3 targets or more for Garuda’s GCD sustain to be stronger than Ifrit-Egi’s Burning Strike.īeing the ranged Egi it is possible to consider Garuda as the pet of choice if Ifrit’s uptime is suffering tremendously due to enemy movement or having to target swap across longer distances. Summoned with Summon, Garuda-Egi’s ranged GCD Wind Blade hits for 30 potency per target with a cleave radius of 5 yalms. It happens when you have the following setting turned on and pet swap usually to a Demi-summon after landing Inferno: Do not worry as the DoT is still on the target dealing damage. The DoT status can sometimes visibly disappear on a target’s status list. This makes Ifrit’s positioning and where he is facing important in order to deal the most 2 target Enkindle DPS. It hits for 300 potency immediately while applying a DoT on each target for 20 potency/tick for 5 ticks dealing a total of 400 potency/target.Īt 5 yalms cone is fairly small in spread and range meaning when trying to hit multiple targets it is possible to miss them with a bad angle for the cone. Prolonged use of Titan over Ifrit will become a further DPS loss.
That said, there can be the cases where one Ifrit GCD is lost if things are timed right making the two target gain effectively 80p. While there is the +200 potency gain, there is an effective cost of (-80-80-20-20), or -200 potency cancelling the gains out. In such a scenario you are likely to lose 2 Burning Strikes and are expected to replace an additional 2 with Rock Busters while waiting for 2 Mountain Busters to resolve. While Titan’s Mountain Buster is on paper +100 potency better at 2 targets by being 250 potency/target with no fall off, in practice there is a cost in the pet swapping in Burning Strikes delayed, lost and substituted with Rock Busters. Assault 2: Flaming Crushįlaming Crush is a melee range AoE centered around Ifrit dealing 250 potency to the first target and 125 potency to all other targets.įor single target it is equal to Crimson Cyclone but for 2+ targets it is the weakest Assault 2 among all Egis. With Shadowbringers it no longer has a stun making it purely for single target damage.Īs a measure of further uptime quality of life for Ifrit-Egi it would be nice for Square Enix to consider reworking this action to be a gap closer so that Ifrit can return sooner to a boss sooner after respawning at a distance following a Demi-summon window. Assault 1: Crimson CycloneĬrimson Cyclone is the strongest single target Egi Assault 1 with at 250 potency.
To mitigate this try to be as near to the enemy as you can. With Ifrit being a melee pet he will do his best to follow enemies as they move, however, if you are out of range while finishing up a Demi-summon window he will respawn nearby you causing him to the required distance to be in melee range again. This makes him the go to pet for single target and 2 target fights. Summoned with Summon III, Ifrit-Egi’s melee GCD Burning Strike hits a single target for 80 potency.
