This guide breaks down the abilities of the Titan Eikon in Final Fantasy XVI, detailing their functions, upgrade costs, and best use cases.

Titan Ability Breakdown

Titanic Block

By pressing the O button, Clive can turn his arms to rock, effectively blocking any enemy attack in front of him. This provides more leeway than dodging, offering an extra second to execute a perfect dodge. It can block powerful attacks, but Clive’s back remains vulnerable. Mastering Perfect Blocks is key to negating all damage, which requires practice. This ability can be mastered for 800 AP and can be a highly useful ability depending on your battle strategy. It allows for a counterattack similar to a perfect dodge when timed correctly.

Press O to use Titanic Block.

Windup

Windup is a quick attack with two variations: a fast tap for a quick strike and holding the button for a longer wind-up that delivers more damage. Tapping Windup sends out a rocky fist to hit enemies. Holding the button charges the attack for increased damage upon release. Clive can move freely while winding up the attack. This ability comes free with Titan and can be upgraded for 660 AP to hit within a wider range. Mastering it costs an additional 1000 AP, allowing it to be used on other Eikons.

Windup is versatile, useful for quick hits on smaller enemies or charging for more damage against bosses. It can be used while dodging boss abilities and is effective for quickly dispatching smaller enemies.

Upheaval

Upheaval is a free ability that unleashes an Area of Effect (AoE) attack, causing the earth to break in front of Clive when he strikes with his fists. The range of the ground affected can be increased by holding the button. This ability can also be activated while Clive is jumping, allowing for combos with air attacks. Upheaval can be upgraded for 525 AP to increase its range. Mastering it costs 1000 AP, enabling its use on other Eikons like Garuda for mid-air combos.

Unleash an AoE attack in front of Clive with Upheaval.

Upheaval is not ideal for boss attacks unless range is needed, but it excels against enemy hordes and for crowd control during missions. It is less effective against large bosses or mini-bosses.

Raging Fists

Raging Fists can be a powerful attack, especially when used as a counterattack just before being hit. Countering an enemy's blow increases Raging Fist's damage and shortens its cooldown. The attack itself involves Clive's fists turning to rock and punching enemies multiple times. Attacking between punches can extend its duration and damage output, allowing for up to three counterattacks. This ability can be upgraded for 600 AP to deal extra damage. Mastering it costs 1000 AP, making it usable on any other Eikon.

Raging Fists gets stronger if you can counter your enemy.

This ability is best used against relentlessly attacking enemies, allowing for powerful counters that deal more damage than a single blow from a perfect dodge. The potential for multiple counters and a shorter cooldown make it useful against bosses and mini-bosses that prolong fights with continuous attacks.

Earthen Fury

Earthen Fury is Titan's strongest ability, causing the ground to move upwards and launch enemies into the air. It is particularly effective against smaller enemies and for gaining battlefield control, serving as a superior alternative to Upheaval. Unlocking this ability costs 1,895 AP. The upgrade for Earthen Fury costs 2,500 AP.
