How to learn Heatwave
To learn Heatwave, you’re first going to need to unlock it in your Ability skill tree with Ability Points. As you progress through Final Fantasy 16, you’ll acquire various skill trees corresponding to the different Eikons. In this case, Heatwave is a Phoenix ability.
As you acquire new Eikons, you'll acquire new abilities. Heatwave allows you to summon a wave of liquid fire to attack your enemies and launch a shockwave at them from afar.
It will cost you some Ability Points to unlock Heatwave, so be sure to save up as many as possible. Once you do, you can continue to upgrade it to make it more powerful.
How to use Heatwave
To use Heatwave, you simply need to hold down the R2 button and press the corresponding button it is assigned to. This will unleash the Heatwave from close range or a distance.
You can equip Heatwave by heading to the Gear & Eikons menu in your pause screen and assigning it to either the Square or Triangle Button.
