Ifrit uses Hell Fire in battle.It is a damaging fire-elemental attack against all enemies that can be made stronger through Boost and SumMag+ support abilities. Ifrit's summon time is 13 seconds, which, according to the Final Fantasy VIII Ultimania, allows the player to boost its damage to around 180% of normal damage using a regular PlayStation controller.
Its damage is calculated as follows:Final Fantasy VIII Battle Mechanics FAQ
:Damage = 61 \times Level / 10 + 45 + 2
:Damage = Damage \times (265 - Target's~Spirit) / 8 
:Damage = Damage \times 45 / 256 
:Damage = Damage \times Boost / 100 
:Damage = Damage \times (100 + SummonMagBonus) / 100 
:Damage = Damage \times (900 - ElemDef) / 100:
Elemental Defense starts at 800 (0%), 900 nullifies damage and 1000 absorbs it. If an enemy is shown to be weak against an element, its Elemental Defense is below 800. If damage becomes negative (due to high Elemental Defense), the target is healed by that amount.
===Final Fantasy IX===
Flames of Hell is Ifrit's summon attack, which deals Fire-elemental damage to all enemies. It can be used by Dagger. The spell power for Flames of Hell's power is Power = 42 + Number of Topazes (see here for damage formulae). Flames of Hell can have a long animation or a short animation, with the long animation dealing more damage. With the support ability Boost, the player cam always summon the long animation, unless it is used as a counterattack as part of Dagger's Trance.
Flames of Hell can be made to deal 50% more damage by equipping Dagger with Red Hat or Cachusha. Equipping both at once does not stack.
