Five useful tips for "Final Fantasy XVI"! What techniques and knowledge are useful for battles with enemies?

1. Crunch up battles with the Story Focus mode

This title has two modes: "Story Focus" and "Action Focus. In Story Focus, some of the main character's movements, such as combos and evasion, become automatic during battle due to the effects of auto accessories. This mode is mainly designed for those who are not good at battles and those who want to concentrate on the story. If in doubt, it is safe to choose the Story Focus mode.

In the action focus mode, all the parts that were automated in the story focus mode are now manual. However, since auto accessories can be attached in this mode as well, it is recommended that those who are not very good at it but want to enjoy the action should first select Action Focus mode and then try to pinpoint accessories in the accessory section that will compensate for their weaknesses.

The auto accessories include "Auto Attack," which automatically attacks the enemy, and "Auto Dodge," which automatically evades enemy attacks, but only if Clive is able to evade.

2. Always keep your recovery items full.

The main means of recovery during battle are items such as potions and high potions. Torgal and Jill will also help you, but the amount of recovery is a bit limited. It is recommended to use items to recover immediately before waiting for support from friends.

However, the consumption of recovery items is also high. It is a good idea to replenish recovery items to the maximum level when you stop by the base in the story.

3. Weapon series starting from Storm Cry will become materials for powerful weapons.

With the item "Windshard," which can be obtained after clearing the main story "Signs of a Storm," the great sword "Storm Cry" can be made at the weapon shop. Although it is strong enough when created, Storm Cry becomes the material for a new weapon called "Flame Tan," which in turn becomes the base for a weapon called "Levin Bolt.

In other words, Storm Cry is the beginning of a series of weapons that will be released as the story progresses. Be sure to make a Storm Cry for later use so that you can inflict as much damage as possible on your enemies.

4. Magic Burst timing is right after a normal attack.

Magic Burst, an ability that can be learned from the beginning, is a magic that is inserted between normal attacks. The number of combos can be greatly increased by using magic to follow up immediately after a slash with the great sword. In particular, some enemies in this title have a gauge called a "Will Gauge," and when this gauge is whittled down, the target will lose its stance, giving us a chance to attack. To reduce the Will Gauge as quickly as possible, use Magic Burst as much as possible.

However, the timing of the Magic Burst button input is somewhat difficult. The trick to success is to aim just after the enemy is hit by a sword attack, but the speed of battle in this game is fast, and you must pay attention to the enemy's position and attacks, so even if you know how to do it, it is not easy.

If you are not good at magic bursts, use the "training mode," a function of the "Aretestone" at the main character's base. During training, you can choose the type of enemy you want to fight, view the history of your button presses, and set the enemy's counterattacks and HP reductions. You can try out any action you like until you are satisfied, which should help you learn the tricks of the magic burst. 5.

5. if you retry during a boss battle, the battle will resume with the enemy's HP reduced.

Many bosses stand in the way of the story. They range from people and monsters to summoned beasts, but they are all powerful enemies. Some players will inevitably get hit by their opponents' instant-death techniques, and the game will often end in a series of game overs.

If Clive is disabled during a boss battle, the game is over and the player can choose whether to return to the title screen or fight the enemy again. If the player chooses to retry, the battle will begin with the boss's HP slightly reduced, and the reduced HP will shorten the battle and replenish potions and high potions, so there are many advantages to retrying a boss battle. If you are struggling, try utilizing the retry function.
