Ignis Scientia/Gameplay

Ignis is the supportive member of the party in Final Fantasy XV, and often stays near Noctis in the heat of battle. He wields a pair of knives as his Primary Arm. He can switch comfortably from a standard grip and a reverse grip for variable attacks. He can also toss one into the air and kick it at the foe he is fighting. His Secondary Arm is lances. Like all party members, he can equip elemental grenades as a secondary arm.

Teamwork
Ignis learns the following Teamwork skills from the Ascension Grid. He will use them independently.

Techniques
Ignis's default Technique is Mark, which can places warp points for Noctis. Regroup has Ignis summon the other party members to his side, healing their HP based on a percentage. His Enchantment Technique casts Flameboost, Frostboost, or Stormboost on Noctis based on the weaknesses of the player's current target. His Overwhelm focuses the party on one enemy at a time; Noctis retains normal attacks while allies attack with Deathblows. His Sagefire is a devastating Fire attack with daggers that can break appendages. Starting from Chapter 10 he can also use Libra Elementia that has Ignis exploit an enemy's elemental weakness. Limit Break lets Ignis break the damage limit of 9999 when using Techniques.

Enemy
Ignis can be fought against at camp sites as a form of training.

Cooking


Ignis cooks for the party at camp sites, apart from Chapter 10 when the player can only have canned food or cup noodles. He learns new recipes from collecting ingredients, trying new food at restaurants, from cook books that can be bought from shops, and from seeing new food on signs and NPCs eating. Food provides various buffs whose duration can be extended via the Ascension Grid.
