Eiko's Eidolons
Eiko only has half the number of Eidolons than Garnet but they
are no less powerful or useful. She also can change the attacks
of two of her Eidolons by equipping different accessories. Eiko
cannot learn any of the summons Garnet has.
Carbunkle
The Cute Protector
Element: None
Attack: Ruby light (Default)
Gem to learn: Ruby
Also Appears in: FF5 onwards.
Eiko automatically obtains the ruby upon your first
visit to the Iifa tree. Carbuncle is different from other Eidolons
as it provides protection rather than attack the enemy. The type
of protection depends on certain gems that Eiko equips. Ruby light
is the default attack if Eiko isn't wearing any of the following
gem. Ruby light casts reflect on the entire party.
Carbuncle's other Special Attacks
Emerald Light (Equip emerald): Casts Haste and Protect
on the whole party.
Diamond Light (Equip diamond): Casts Protect and
Vanish on the whole party.
Pearl Light (Equip Pearl): Casts Protect and Shell
on the whole party.
Fenrir
Wolf of the Red Moon
Element: Wind or Earth
Attack: Terrestrial Rage (Default)
Gem to learn: Sapphire
Also appears in: FF6
Eiko automatically starts out with a sapphire equiped
when you get her in your party. You can increase the power of Fenrir's
attack by synthesising more sapphires or winning them from enemies.
Fenrir can also change his attack when Eiko equips a certain accessory.
His default attack causes earth damage.
Fenrir's other special attack
Millenial Decay (equip Maiden's Prayer): Causes wind damage to all
enemies.
Phoenix
The Eidolon that Rises from the Ashes
Element: Fire
Attack: Rebirth Flame
Gem to learn: Phoenix pinion
Also appears in: FF5 onwards
You can actually obtain phoenix pinions throughout
the game and hopefully you haven't used all of them before Eiko
joins your party as she can equip the phoenix pinion to learn the
summon. Phoenix doesn't have an attack as strong as Ifrit but Phoenix
casts Full Life on the entire party making it useful for boss battles.
There is also a chance that Eiko will automatically summon phoenix
if she is the last person to be KO'd in the party. The animation
for this sequence is different from the normal one and is quite
beautiful. The chances of this happening increases with the number
of Phoenix pinions in your inventory.
Madeen
The Eidolon of Hope
Element: Holy
Attack: Terra Homing
Gem to learn: Ribbon
Also appears in: Debut appearance in FF9
Eiko automatically obtains the Ribbon at the Gulgu
Volcano on disc 3. Madeen is Eiko's ultimate summon and unlike Garnets,
it's not a secret summon. You need not gather more ribbons to boose
Madeen's power as he is already at full power. He is in my opinion
one of the most useful summons as most of the enemies late in the
game are weak to holy attacks.
