Polearms can be equipped by Noctis and Ignis. Flayer's passive ability is to boost Noctis's combo finisher. It boosts four attacks in its moveset:
- The Up+Attack move
- The final attack in its basic combo. While other spears end their basic combo with a jump into the air, Flayer's ends with a strong thrust.
- The final thrust of the Side+Attack combo
- The final hit of full thrust (Down+Attack).
Flayer does not boost the "Dragoon-like" plunging attack.
