Ifrit (Final Fantasy VI boss)



Ifrit is a boss in Final Fantasy VI. He is fought alongside Shiva in the garbage chute of the Magitek Research Facility.

Battle
Ifrit uses physical attacks and Fire-elemental magic. If attacked by magic three times Ifrit will counter with Firaga, likely killing a party member. When damaged five times in any way, Ifrit retreats and is replaced by Shiva. Blitz, Bushido, Tools are effective against both of them, and Blizzard and Fire are also powerful, though of course the player should only use Blizzard against Ifrit and Fire against Shiva, since spells of the opposite element heal them. When either of them is defeated, the battle ends. Shiva has slightly less HP, but only a few hundred so neither is any easier to defeat than the other.
