Gungnir (ability)

Gungnir is a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series. It is often a signature attack of Odin, used in some games instead of Zantetsuken when Zantetsuken would not be able to kill enemies outright, as Gungnir hits enemies for high damage rather than inflicting Instant Death like Zantetsuken.

Final Fantasy V
Gungnir will be used by Odin when summoned against an enemy immune to Zantetsuken. Gungnir attacks one enemy for heavy non-elemental damage.

Final Fantasy VII
Gungnir is used by Odin if summoned against a group of enemies and Zantetsuken is calculated to not work either due to immunity or the attack missing. Gungnir attacks one enemy for non-elemental damage equal to 4.875x base magic damage.

Final Fantasy IX
While the attack is still called Zantetsuken, Odin will use Gungnir to attack enemies instead of Zantetsuken if Garnet has the Odin's Sword ability equipped. The power of the attack is 145, minus one for the total number of Ore in the player's inventory.

Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy
Gungnir is an HP attack usable by Kain. Kain throws his spear at his opponent, driving them back and inflicting Wall Rush. Gungnir costs 30 CP to equip and 130 AP to master.
