On this page, you will learn how to punish enemies in Final Fantasy 16. The game is famous for its spectacular and interesting fights, and it has many different methods of killing enemies.
One of the mechanics of killing enemies is Punish attacks, which allows you to deal a lot of damage to the enemy in a short time, which is very useful, especially at the beginning of the game. We will explain how to make this attack and how to use it correctly.
To apply a Punish Attack to an enemy and finish them off, you must first knock them down, and there are several ways to do this. The best way to down an enemy is to use Downthrust on them. Of the available methods, this one will take the least amount of time and a normal landing is enough to do it, so you don't need to use a magic burst.
You can also knock the enemy down using your abilities or, for example, magic burst combos and they will work just as well as Downthrust, but they take twice as long to perform, so they are still not the best way.
Punish Attack deals a lot of damage, so it is very important to use them when the enemy is downed. It is very easy to do, you need to approach the downed enemy and press the Square button, after which the Punish Attack animation will occur.
There are only two drawbacks to these attacks, the first of which is that you cannot punish the enemy during the combo. The second disadvantage is that you can only use Punish Attack on normal enemies, which means that you can't rely on it when fighting big enemies or bosses.
