7 Best Consumable Items In Final Fantasy 16
Take this in Final Fantasy 16 to heal your scars and boost your mood.
Consumables are items in Final Fantasy 16 that can only be used once. Each Consumable does something different. For example, potions and elixirs refill Clive’s health bar, while tonics either boost your attack power or lower the damage you take as Clive for a set amount of time. You can find these things all over the world, from shops to treasure chests. By finishing quests, you can make potions stronger and increase the size of your inventory.
Consumables help Clive most in battle, but you can also use their powers before and after battle to heal. You can switch between Torgal’s orders and the Consumable shortcut menu by pressing the D-Pad. This lets you use Consumables quickly. Since you can only put three things in the link at once, you will need to decide which ones are more important.
Potion
Early on in the game, potions are the only way for Clive to stay alive. A potion costs only 200 gil and gives you back 20% of your full health right away.
In FF16, there are several ways to heal. You can tell Torgal what to do, but the wolf can only heal part of Clive’s health, which is shown by the dark part of the health bar.
You can also level up or wait for someone else in the group to heal you. Even when they work, these choices are often not reliable.
On the other hand, potions will always heal Clive when his strength is low. One bad thing about Potions is that you can only take a certain number of them at once.
High Potion
High Potions give you back 40% of your full health right away. They are better than normal Potions because they restore more health.
High Potions can be bought for 400 gil, just like Potions, and they can be picked up by walking over the bright blue pickup spots.
If you die and get a “Game Over,” your Potions and High Potions (but not your tonics) will be refilled to the highest number you can carry. This doesn’t seem to be true in Final Fantasy Mode, which is offered in New Game +.
If you often forget to heal, you can wear the Ring of Timely Healing. When Clive’s health goes below a certain point, it will automatically heal him. This makes Potions more important than High Potions, so you will use High Potions less often when you have this addition.
Elixir
Elixirs are the best items for healing because they can quickly fill up the entire health bar. When you get the main quest “Cid the Outlaw,” you can buy the valuable item at Charon’s Toll in Cid’s Hideaway for 10,000 gil.
Even when Charon has Elixirs in stock, 10,000 gil is a lot for a healing item. Even if you don’t need them, you might want to keep one or two Elixirs on hand. However, you should only use them when your health is almost gone.
Stoneskin Tonic
The Stoneskin Tonic is made for times when you need to improve your defenses. The item costs 800 gil and makes your defense 30% better for 90 seconds.
The Stoneskin Tonic gives you a temporary boost to your stats, just like the other tonics. You can use this item wisely as a preventative step before you get hurt, so you don’t need as many healing items during battle.
The best thing to do with your Stoneskin Tonics is to save them for tough fights against enemies that drain your HP quickly.
Strength Tonic
Strength Tonic costs 700 gil and gives you a 10% boost to your attack power for 60 seconds. This item is not as useful as the Stoneskin Tonic, which is its opposite.
Still, FF16’s battle system usually favors an attacking over a defensive approach.
When Clive drinks the Strength Tonic, he becomes almost impossible to stop and does more damage than normal. Battles will end faster because of the tonic.
Go all out while the Strength Tonic is working, and use potions to heal when the 60 seconds are up.
Lionheart Tonic
For 30 seconds, the Lionheart Tonic slowly fills up the Limit Break pool. When Clive uses Limit Break, he goes into a strong state that makes his strikes better until the bars run out.
Clive also gets his health back based on how many times you hit him. So, the Lionheart Tonic is better than Potions and Strength Tonics because it heals you and makes you stronger when you attack.
You can buy the Lionheart Tonic for 500 gil and use it in battle to fill up the Limit Break bar. Then, you can use Limit Break when the enemy is stunned to do the most damage or when Clive’s health is low to heal up.
Last Elixir
This last Consumable combines the good things about the other Consumables into one item. According to its description, the Last Elixir instantly restores all HP, fills the limit gauge, and boosts attack power by 10% and defense by 30% for 60 seconds after KO.
Both the Lionheart Tonic and the Last Elixir fill the Limit Break meter. Also, this elixir combines the benefits of the Strength and Stoneskin Tonics to make your attack and defense stronger for 60 seconds.
The Last Elixir is different from the other Consumables because it brings you back to life when your HP hits 0. This gives you a second chance instead of a Game Over.
Near the end of Spacebar Clicker, you can only buy one Last Elixir for 20,000 gil, so be smart with it.
