==Use==
Emerald Carbuncle used Gust as an auto-attack; so long as Emerald Carbuncle had been ordered to attack an enemy with the Guard or Sic commands, it would automatically use Gust whenever its recast allowed. Despite being a spell, Gust was not on the global cooldown (GCD), and thus its use would not conflict with Emerald Carbuncle's other spells.
Gust dealt very light area of effect damage, and was paired with Emerald Carbuncle's Assault I spell, . Against a single target, its damage was unimpressive, and Topaz Carbuncle's auto-attack alone would outdamage Gust and Downburst combined. Against a mere 2 more or targets, however, Gust and Downburst would begin to outperform Gouge. Once Summoners unlocked Ifrit-Egi, Gust began to severely lag behind, and Emerald Carbuncle required 5 or more targets to outdamage Ifrit-Egi's .
