Ifrit-Egi

Relm: I couldn't miss the chance to practice my drawing!

This article is in need of a few pictures. Perhaps you can help by uploading a picture of Ifrit-Egi using Devotion.

Ifrit-Egi is a Summoner pet in Final Fantasy XIV. It is called by the Summon III ability. Egis are arcane constructs created using the lingering aetheric essence of a defeated primal, in this case the Lord of the Inferno, Ifrit.

Obtained[]

Ifrit-Egi is obtained upon completing the level 30 Summoner quest Austerities of Flame. Unlike Garuda-Egi and Titan-Egi, Ifrit-Egi has no Carbuncle equivalent that it replaces. The Summoner may choose to glamour their Ifrit-Egi with the appearance of a Carbuncle, but this is aesthetic only and it will continue using Ifrit-Egi's abilities.

Use[]

Ifrit-Egi specializes in single-target melee attacks, but has poor area of effect (AoE) damage. Its actions have or are tied for the highest potencies of all Egi actions, including its auto-attack Burning Strike. In most encounters with 1 or 2 enemeies, Ifrit-Egi will provide the best damage output of the Egis. This makes it well suited to boss encounters. When facing 3 or more enemies Garuda-Egi will generally provide better output.

Ifrit-Egi's Egi Assault, Crimson Cyclone, deals single-target melee damage with no additional effect.

Its Egi Assault II, Flaming Crush, deals damage to nearby enemies, dealing 50% less damage to all enemies it hits beyond the first. It has the same potency as Crimson Cyclone and the two abilities can generally be used interchangeably in single-target encounters. However, while it provides Ifrit-Egi with some AoE damage, the severe damage dropoff it suffers from makes it ill-suited to long AoE encounters.

Ifrit-Egi's Enkindle, Inferno, deals heavy AoE damage in a cone while also inflicting the Inferno damage over time (DoT) status. It has the smallest AoE of all the Enkindles, making it harder to hit multiple enemies with, but its high potency and reliable DoT effect make it the best choice for single-target output.

All Egi's use Devotion when commanded by Aetherpact, increasing damage dealt by nearby party members by 5%. As with other support AoEs it has a 15y radius, so party members should try to remain within 15y to ensure they can all benefit from Devotion and other support AoEs.

Summoning abilities are all off the global cooldown (oGCD) with a shared 3s recast, granting Summoners significant freedom in switching their active summons in combat. This can allow Summoners to quickly switch to Garuda-Egi during the add phase of a boss encounter to take advantage of its superior AoE damage before switching back to Ifrit-Egi.

Actions[]

Without the Summoner's input, Ifrit-Egi will only auto-attack with Burning Strike. In order for Ifrit-Egi to use its other actions, the Summoner must command it to do so with Egi Assault, Egi Assault II, Enkindle, or Aetherpact.

Etymology[]

[view · edit · purge]In Arabian mythology, Ifrit (also spelled Efreet or Afreet, from Arabic عفريت Ifrīt), is the name given to a class of Jinn (Demons also known as Djinn, Djinni, and Genie) that embody fire. Though they could live for thousands of years, they were not immortal, and if cut, they would "bleed" the fire running through their veins until it consumed their bodies.

[view · edit · purge]Egi, meaning "I have done", "I have accomplished", "I have led", or "I have pursued (a course of action)", is the first-person singular perfect active indicative form of the Latin verb ago, which generally means "I act" or "I do".
