Gungnir (ability)

320px|right|thumb
Gungnir , also called Javelin and Gunge Lance , is a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series. It is often a signature attack of Odin, used in some games instead of Zantetsuken when the latter cannot kill enemies outright, and hits enemies for high damage rather than inflicting Instant Death.
==Appearances==
===Final Fantasy V===
Odin will throw Gungnir when summoned against an enemy immune to Zantetsuken. Gungnir attacks one enemy for heavy non-elemental damage. It is called the Javelin in the PlayStation version.
===Final Fantasy VII===
Gunge Lance is used by Odin if summoned against a group of enemies and Steel Bladed Sword is calculated to not work either due to immunity to Instant Death attacks or the attack missing. Gungnir attacks one enemy for non-elemental damage equal to 4.875x base magic damage.
====Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-====
The enemy Spike Machine can use an ability named Gungnir to deal 10,000 points of damage, regardless of barriers or vitality, making it a one hit death move if it connects regardless of level or current HP.
===Final Fantasy IX===
While the attack is still called Zantetsuken, Odin will use Gungnir to attack enemies instead of Zantetsuken if Dagger has the Odin's Sword support ability equipped. The power of the attack is 145, minus one for the total number of Ore in the player's inventory. (See here for damage formulae.) When he was summoned by Queen Brahne, this was used to destroy Cleyra.
===Final Fantasy XIV===
===Final Fantasy XVI===
Gungnir is an ability Clive can use in his dark loadout. It is one of his default abilities from Odin. Its special property is to charge Zantetsuken rather than Limit Break.
Gungnir is also an enemy ability used by Barnabas Tharmr.
===Final Fantasy Tactics S===
===Final Fantasy Dimensions===
Gungnir is used by Odin as his attack during the battle to obtain the Eidolon himself or as an ability when Odin has been acquired. It cost 54 MP to cast and deal magic damage to a single target.
===Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy===
Gungnir is an HP attack usable by Kain. Kain throws his spear at his opponent, driving them back and inflicting Wall Rush. Gungnir costs 30 CP to equip and 130 AP to master.
