Clive can call upon Ifrit in certain points of the story where players assume control of the Eikon in battle. One such battles is a brawl against Garuda, where you can attack with punches and fireballs, as well as lunge in a fiery dash to close gaps.

Ifrit Connections to Joshua and Clive

Inherited by Clive as the Second Eikon of Fire

Ifrit is the second Eikon of Fire that is inherited by Clive. In the world of Valisthea it is known that there is only one Eikon that represents each element, with Phoenix, inherited by Joshua, representing the element of fire. This makes Ifrit an unrecorded Eikon and the second Eikon of Fire.
