Fire

【5-003C】Ifrit
The choice to discard 1 “Card Name Ifrit” happens when the ability resolves.
【5-008R】Grenade
If 2 or more Forwards with less than 8000 power enter the field at the same time, Grenade’s auto-ability is triggered for each of them. You can stack the abilities in your preferred order, but as you cannot deal damage with Grenade’s ability unless you put Grenade into the Break Zone, you can only do 8000 damage once.
If using a card like Yuna【1-176H】, with which Grenade can be removed from the game instead of put into the Break Zone, Grenade can still deal the 8000 damage.
If on the other hand Grenade is removed from the field before its auto-ability resolves, it can’t be put into the Break Zone and therefore cannot deal the 8000 damage.
【5-011H】Vermillion Bird l’Cie Zhuyu
The number of times Vermillion Bird l’Cie Zhuyu can attack this turn increases by one each time a Forward damaged by it is put into the Break Zone.

If you don’t have any Forwards of cost 3 or less in your Break Zone, Phoenix cannot be cast.
【5-024H】Luneth
If a Forward is both Fire Element and Job Warrior of Light, it still only gains +1000 power.
【5-149S】Amodar
”Double the power of Amodar” means his current power plus any adjustments. For example, if he has had +1000 power added by using【1-030R】 Lebreau, then his power would go up +9000.

【5-046R】Buccaboo
If 2 or more Characters enter the field simultaneously, Buccaboo’s auto-ability is triggered for each of them. You can stack the abilities in your preferred order, but as you cannot force your opponent to discard with Buccaboo’s auto-ability unless you put Buccaboo into the Break Zone, you can only force your opponent to discard once.
If using a card like【1-176H】Yuna, with which Buccaboo can be removed from the game instead of put into the Break Zone, Buccaboo can still make your opponent discard 2 cards.
If on the other hand Buccaboo is removed from the field before its auto-ability resolves, it can’t be put into the Break Zone and therefore cannot make your opponent discard 2 cards.

You can stack the abilities in your preferred order, but as you cannot break the Forward with Black Knight’s auto-ability unless you put Black Knight into the Break Zone, you can only break 1 Forward.
