Fire (Final Fantasy XII element)

Fire is an element in Final Fantasy XII. Fire is opposed to Water, instead of Ice like most games in the series. Fire element's power can be enhanced with certain equipment and with the Oil status on the recipient (triple damage); these methods also stack with a target's weakness to Fire.

Fire damage is amplified in certain weather conditions and dampened in others: any strong wind (characters' hair and clothes are flapping) amplifies Fire damage by 20% no matter what the terrain is, but rain halves Fire damage (in rain + wind, Fire does 60% of normal damage).

Abilities[]

Esper ability	Hellfire & Painflare (Belias)
Item	Soleil Fang (Red Fang)
Spell	Ardor (Black [OG] / Arcane Magicks [Zodiac]), Fire & Fira & Firaga (Black Magicks & Shades of Black)
Weapon	Fiery Arrows, Flametongue, Gungnir, Multiscale, Wyrmfire Shot

In addition, the Flame Staff and Burning Bow increase the power of Fire-elemental abilities by 50% but are not elemental by themselves.

The fire-affected gambits are "Foe: fire-weak" and "Foe: fire-vulnerable"; the latter triggers against any foe that does not outright absorb the element, even if the foe is immune to fire. In the original PlayStation 2 version, these gambits are only available to purchase from gambit shops after the party obtains the Treaty-Blade, "fire-weak" costing 500 gil and "fire-vulnerable" costing 250 gil. In the Zodiac versions, these gambits only cost 70 gil and are available to buy ever since the party escapes the Nalbina Dungeons.
