Eikon abilities are central to combat in FF16. These accessories can either boost damage or reduce cooldown for those abilities, making them a must for any build that heavily relies on specific abilities.
Phoenix, Titan, and Bahamut are all great Eikons for dealing damage, so accessories like The Will of Fire, The Favor of Earth, and The Breath of Light are solid picks when using them.
