==Use==
Aerial Blast is Garuda-Egi's Enkindle action, dealing heavy area of effect (AoE) to the target and nearby enemies. While it has the lowest potency of all the Enkindles, its ease of use allows it to remain arguably the best to use in AoE encounters, as Ifrit-Egi's suffers from a small AoE and is held back by Titan-Egi's low overall DPS. Aerial Blast boasts the same AoE as Earthen Fury while dealing all of its damage in a single hit rather than over time, providing it with superior burst damage and greater damage overall when combined with Garuda-Egi's high AoE DPS.
