Blitz (Commando ability)

Blitz is a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series first appearing in Final Fantasy XIII as a circular attack that hits multiple enemies.

Final Fantasy XIII
Blitz is a Commando command ability that physically attacks multiple enemies for two ATB segments, doing slightly more damage than a normal attack, but less than two. All party members can learn it except Vanille. Most characters perform a single spinning attack that hits all nearby enemies, but Sazh's Blitz is unique in that it is comprised of multiple shots fired in a sweeping motion from left to right in front of him, which can potentially deal considerably more damage depending on the enemies' positions or size.

Final Fantasy XIII-2
Blitz returns as an ability in the sequel, performing the same function. Both Serah Farron and Noel Kreiss can use Blitz as a ranged attack, damaging enemies around their target in a similar manner to -ra level magic. It also can be performed midair as opposed to the first installment.

In addition, elemental Blitz attacks (Heat Blitz, Ice Blitz, Electric Blitz and Aero Blitz for fire, ice, lightning and wind respectively) have also been added as part of the Ravager skillset, and Commandos have access to Area Sweep, a stronger version of Blitz. However only monster allies are capable of using these abilities.

Lightning and Gilgamesh use Blitz against the party.
