==Use==
Mountain Buster is Titan-Egi's Assault II action, dealing area of effect (AoE) damage to nearby enemies. Mountain Buster is the strongest Assault spell available to any Summoner pet—compared to its Assault II counterparts, it boasts the same potency but deals all of its damage in a single hit unlike Garuda-Egi's , and doesn't suffer the damage dropoff of Ifrit-Egi's .
In short AoE encounters, quickly switching to Titan-Egi for a couple quick Mountain Busters can provide the strongest burst damage of any Egi. However, Titan-Egi suffers from low damage output otherwise, and prolonged use of Titan-Egi will result in a DPS loss. If an AoE encounter is expected to last longer much longer than the duration of a single Slipstream, keeping Garuda-Egi on the field will provide better overall DPS. In single-target encounters, Mountain Buster has no niche over Flaming Crush and Ifrit-Egi's greater overall single-target damage.
