How to Use Phoenix
Equip Phoenix's Eikonic Abilities
Since Clive isn't Phoenix's Dominant, he will not be able to transform into Phoenix but instead gain access to its Fire-based attacks after obtaining its essence.
After acquiring Phoenix, this Eikon's abilities will be unlocked in the Abilities menu and be available for upgrade. You can then equip them to Clive and use its attacks in combat.
Play as the Phoenix in Certain Fights
Certain points of the story will allow players to assume control of the Phoenix and use it in battle. One such battles is when fighting against Bahamut, where a section of the fight turns into an on-rails shooter where Phoenix fires flame magic onto Bahamut.
Phoenix Connections to Joshua and Clive
Inherited by Joshua Rosfield
Phoenix is initially inherited by Joshua Rosfield who awakened as the dominant of the Phoenix as soon as he was born.
