Use

Enkindle Bahamut orders Demi-Bahamut to execute Akh Morn, dealing massive damage to a single target and splash damage to nearby enemies. While Akh Morn suffers from a 50% potency dropoff after the first hit, its naturally high potency means it is still one of the most potent AoE actions in the Summoner's arsenal. This makes it a versatile option the Summoner will want to use regardless how many enemies they are facing. With Enkindle Bahamut's 10 second recast, Summoners should be able to get two Akh Morns out of Demi-Bahamut's duration.

Enkindle Bahamut shares its recast timer with Enkindle Phoenix, though this should rarely come into play unless the Summoner delays using Summon Bahamut and uses Firebird Trance right afterwards.

Enkindle Bahamut is an instant cast ability that is off the global cooldown (oGCD). This allows players to weave it between global cooldowns (GCD) after using instant cast spells such as Ruin IV, and is best saved for these situations in order to maximize DPS.

There is a slight delay between using Enkindle Bahamut and the summon using Akh Morn. Summoners should be careful not to use Enkindle Bahamut too close to Bahamut despawning, as it may disappear before the action is executed.
