Jumping Attack:
This is the first attack that the Iron Giant will use at the beginning of the fight. It will crunch down and then jump into the air, landing where Clive is currently standing. Dodge the attack as the Iron Giant is landing.

Glowing Stomp:
Iron Giant will always use this attack after it completes a “Jumping Attack”. Dodge the attack as the Iron Giant’s foot comes down.

Forward, Downward Slash, and Shield Bash:
These are Iron Giant’s regular, forward-facing attacks.

Glowing Shield Smash:
Similar to Iron Giant’s Glowing Stomp, its Shield will begin glowing before it thrusts forward. A fairly straightforward attack that’s easy to dodge.

Shield Magic:
Iron Giant will jump away. Its shield will begin to glow, and then, after swinging it underhanded, a magic burst will fly towards Clive. This is a great attack to counterattack with Heatwave.

Atomic Ray:
A message indicating “Press the Attack!” will appear on the screen. Deal enough damage to the Iron Giant while this attack is charging (enough to deplete the purple bar in the top-right corner of the screen). The attack will deal a heavy amount of damage to Clive if it is cast, so make sure to heal up with Potions or High Potions if you don’t think you’ll be able to interrupt it in time.

Crimson Rush:
Infernal Eikon will drive forward across the battle area, leaving a flaming trail of fire behind it. This attack looks a lot menacing than it is. It is very easy to dodge, and you can walk through the flaming trail left behind without taking any damage.

Tail Swipe:
This attack is annoying to deal with and dodge, but Infernal Eikon will only use it when Clive is positioned behind it, so stay in front at all times, and you won’t have to deal with it at all.

Front Swipes:
Infernal Eikon will swipe the ground in front of it with either its left or right arm (just one, not both). Its hand will light up with fire just before it strikes, which will give you time to dodge. It’s relatively easy to dodge, but it hits a wide area, so be ready to dodge even if you think you’re out of its melee range.

Foot Stomp:
If you’re attacking or near one of Infernal Eikon’s feet, it will slowly raise that foot in the air before slamming that foot down and dealing a wave of fire damage outward from where the stomp hits. It’s possible to run away far enough to escape any damage when you see it start lifting its foot, but if you get used to the timing, you can consistently dodge this attack.

Vulcan Burst:
Infernal Eikon will drop down onto all four limbs and begin charging, while an area around it will begin glowing; this is the area that the attack will hit, which will give you time to get out of range of the attack. During the intervening time, it’s possible to use one or two Charged Magic attacks if you’re quick enough.

Scorched Earth:
Infernal Eikon will launch a line of fire magic towards Clive. It’s possible to dodge this attack or counterattack it with Heatwave, but to hit Infernal Eikon with the counterattack damage, you will have to get closer to it. Run up towards Infernal Eikon before the attack goes off if you plan to counterattack it. If you’re successful, this is a great way to heavily deplete Infernal Eikon’s “Will Gauge”.

Flame Toss:
IThis is Infernal Eikon’s most annoying attack. While it’s at a range, its left hand will glow with flames, and it will launch a smattering of fire blobs in a line towards Clive. They are very difficult to dodge because successfully pressing the button when they hit may land you in one of the other blobs on the right or left. Instead, use Phoenix Shift to jump forward quickly, and you can dodge them much more easily.

Sword Lunge:
This is the first attack Infernal Shadow will use at the start of the fight. Timing the dodge can take some practice to make sure you don’t dodge too early. He leaves himself open to an attack chain when he uses this move.

Sword Attack:
Infernal Shadow’s sword will glow purple before he initiates three attacks in a chain. This attack can be difficult to dodge until you get used to the timing; it’s two quick attacks in succession, followed by a third attack that comes after a short delay.

Fireballs and Fira:
Infernal Shadow will quite often use these two moves interchangeably, or one after the other, and they behave the same. They can both be dodged from a distance, and they can both be counterattacked with Heatwave.

Molten Thrust:
He will lunge across the screen, similar to “Sword Lunge”, but quite a bit faster and, again, leaving himself open to an attack chain after this move is used.

Sword Attack:
This attack is similar except that his sword will be on fire, causing it to deal more damage but also causing the attack to be a bit slower. This makes it a bit easier to dodge out of the way or run away altogether if you’re having trouble timing the dodges.

Incinerate:
A cone of red cracks will appear in front of Infernal Shadow. Get out of the cone before the ground explodes! The best way to do this is to dodge () around to the back of him and get some attacks in from the back.

Fireballs and Fira:
There are a few changes to note. Firstly, there will be more fireballs when he launches those and two casts of Fira when he casts those. He will disappear and reappear in a new spot to launch the second cast of Fira, which can be annoying if you’re trying to counterattack with Heatwave. Sometimes he will be mid-teleport, and your Heatwave won’t hit anything.

Hammer and Anvil (New Attack):
Infernal Shadow will hover up into the air before slamming down and dealing damage in a circle around the area where he lands. Timing the dodge may take some practice, but you can also run away from the impact area and get out of range if that works better.

Hellfire (New Attack):
Infernal Shadow will try to drag Clive to the center of the map into a wall of flame. Just press on the D-Pad, dodge the fire blasts that appear on the ground, and, if you’re feeling confident, get some Charged Magic blasts in on him while he’s floating there.

Crimson Rush (New Attack):
This attack is functionally the same as Ifrit’s Crimson Rush.

Eruption (New Attack):
Flame blasts will appear on the ground that Clive will need to dodge away from, just like during his Hellfire cast.

Clive’s Combo Attack:
While in Limit Break mode, Clive’s regular attack combo has a much lengthier flame animation with his new flaming sword. It deals a lot more damage, but the lengthy animation can make it tougher to dodge an incoming attack from Infernal Shadow.
