Tips on how to beat Bomb King in Final Fantasy 16

The Bomb King is a Level 33 B Rank Notorious Mark who mainly attacks with projectiles. Additionally, it's one of the few Hunt targets that doesn't have a stagger bar.

For an edge in battle, here's some tips on how to beat The Bomb King in Final Fantasy 16:

Stagger abilities are useless - As the Bomb King has no stagger bar it's no use equipping stagger abilities, like Garuda's Aerial Blast or Gouge. Instead, put all of your ability points into your high damaging abilities, like those belonging to Titan, Phoenix, or Ifrit.Activate Clive's Limit Break, then unleash abilities - This means you're causing even more damage with Clive's most powerful abilities. Start with the best ones, as the Limit Break gauge continues to lower even when in the ability animation, so you don't get much time.Equip the Berserker Ring for extra damage - The Berserker Ring gives Clive a small window of increased damage after performing a Precision Dodge, which is handy during the Bomb King fight as you'll be dodging its projectiles a lot. Image credit: Square Enix/EurogamerUse Will-o'-the-Wykes if you need more protection - This fire ability creates a shield for Clive while harming enemies and is useful for some protection against the Bomb King's projectiles.Remember that you can equip abilities on other Eikons - If you like more than two of an Eikon's abilities, you can equip it on another Eikon as long as you've mastered the ability, so remember that...Respecing is free - You can refund any of your Ability Points for free and put those points into mastering another ability if you think it will help you more in the The Bomb King fight. We recommend taking off your Garuda abilities and replacing them with skills that cause more damage.

The rewards for defeating The Bomb King are:

x1 Bomb Emberx1 Meteorite1,000 EXP65 Ability Points20 Renown9,000 Gil

Once you kill the Bomb King, head back to Owain at the Hideaway who will use it to create a Treated Potion Satchel that increases your potion inventory size.

Good luck facing the Bomb King in Final Fantasy 16!
