There Is One Eikon For Each Of The Eight Element In FF16
In FF16, there are eight attributes including Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Ice, Lightning, Light, and Dark, on which it is believed that there is one Eikon corresponding to each element attribute. However, in the story, Leviathan was teased to be the Eikon of water, but the true identity and appearance of the Dominant are not yet disclosed.
Ability And Feat GuideWhat Is A Dominant?
Dominants are individuals with the ability to perform Priming on Eikons. They possess immense and incomprehensible power, which leads to them being both revered and feared by many, as well as used as weapons often in battles.
Dominant GuideBoth Priming And Semi-Priming Are Possible
Priming can be classified into two forms: the first is Priming, where individuals assume the form of an Eikon, and the second is Semi-Priming, where they retain their human appearance while still wielding their powers. Generally, they can control the Eikon willingly, but in cases of severe emotional shock, they may manifest in a state of rampage.
