==Use==
Downburst was Emerald Carbuncle's Assault I action, dealing light area of effect (AoE) damage. Until Summoners acquired Ifrit-Egi or , it was their only offensive Egi Assault, and combined with made Emerald Carbuncle the preferred summon in any encounter with 2 or more targets; however, against a single target Downburst and Gust combined would fail to outperform Topaz Carbuncle's .
Once Ifrit-Egi was acquired, Downburst began to lag behind. Despite Downburst itself outdamaging its counterpart against 3 or more targets, Emerald Carbuncle's otherwise weak actions meant it realistically needed to hit 4 or more targets to outdamage Ifrit-Egi.
