Burning Blade
Burning Blade charges Clive’s sword with fire while Square is held, then releases a powerful attack. The cited guide describes it as a low-cost offensive option.
How it works
Hold Square to imbue the blade with fire and release to attack. IGN lists learning, upgrading, and mastering as separate ability-point steps, but this guide does not treat its 2023 costs as current or universal.
When it helps
Consider it if you want a direct sword attack with a fire effect and are willing to spend ability points on a basic move. Inspect the menu for its current upgrade and mastery details.
The tradeoff
It occupies points that could go to other skills, and the supplied description gives no defensive or crowd-control effect.
Your next step
Check Burning Blade’s menu entry for its current upgrade and mastery effect, then compare it with the attacks you already use.
Read the supporting references
A focused reference to named abilities and ability development in FINAL FANTASY XVI. The supplied sources support these choices but do not support a useful accessories or gear guide. Ability details come from guides published in 2023 and are not verified for later patches or DLC. Guidance explains the referenced mechanics; it is not a tested damage ranking. Check the stated edition and source version before applying a patch-specific detail.
