Eikons are a new name that replaces Summons in Final Fantasy XVI. They are mythological creatures of immense power, which grant specific individuals only a fragment of it, allowing them to use their abilities. If you are just starting out in the game, I bet you can’t wait to learn all the best Eikon abilities and how they all relate to each other. If so, then this guide is for you!

We ranked all of the Eikon abilities in FFXVI based on their overall usefulness in combat and how well they work with others. For example, Rising Flames is the very first Ability you unlock, and I found it to be extremely useful throughout the game, and it fit well into the best possible Ability Build for Clive.

This is the first skill you learn, but it remains useful until the end of the campaign. It works by sweeping up groups of enemies and setting them up for an air combo.

Titanic Block is a unique Eikonic ability in FFXVI, specifically because, as the name suggests, it allows you to block enemy attacks. It is the only ability in the game that can do this, making it perfect for tough boss encounters where your HP can quickly evaporate.
