Description

Impulse is a rank 6 command ability used by Bahamut, which merely inflicts non-elemental damage to all enemies. It is also used as an enemy ability by enemy Bahamuts and Dark Bahamut, where it also inflicts Delay. Dark Bahamut's version has the added effect of inflicting Petrification, which can shatter a character if it also KO's them. In addition to Petrification, it can also inflict Slow, Full Break, and strong Delay. Slow will ignore immunities to the status, but can still be countered via Auto-Haste.

Final Fantasy XVI[]

Clive using Impulse in Final Fantasy XVI.

Impulse is an ability for Clive from the Eikon Bahamut, being one of several abilities automatically unlocked for the Eikon. When used, Clive unleashes multiple spheres of light at the targets, dealing continuous damage and binding them until the spheres explode. The damage of the final explosion is determined on how many times the orbs already struck the targets. If the player presses the action's button after launching the orbs, they will instantly activate the final explosion on the target. This is best done when the charges change color to gold. When upgraded once, the numbers of spheres conjured increases.
