Lightning Strike of Destruction is a Wind-property ground-targeted area magic skill of the Ninja that calls down lightning over a chosen area.

Overview

This skill targets a ground cell and saturates the surrounding area with Wind magic for a short time. The area expands as the skill is leveled, making it the Ninja's main Wind area tool against grouped enemies.

Mechanics

Lightning strikes the target area for 1.6 seconds, hitting enemies inside it at short intervals.

Damage formula: Damage per hit = (50 + 25 × SkillLv)% MATK

Area of effect: Lv1–4 cover a 5×5 area, Lv5–8 cover a 7×7 area, and Lv9–10 cover a 9×9 area.

Cast time: 0.5 + 0.5 × SkillLv seconds. After-cast delay: 0.6 + 0.4 × SkillLv seconds.

Stacking: several casts on the same cells do not overlap, so an enemy is not hit by more than one lightning field at a time.

Effect: if the Ninja has learned Combustion Gale, each enemy hit receives its wind vortex mark.

Leveling

Level	Damage per hit	Area	Cast time	After-cast delay	SP cost
1	75% MATK	5×5	1.0 s	1.0 s	12
2	100% MATK	5×5	1.5 s	1.4 s	16
3	125% MATK	5×5	2.0 s	1.8 s	20

6	200% MATK	7×7	3.5 s	3.0 s	32
7	225% MATK	7×7	4.0 s	3.4 s	36
8	250% MATK	7×7	4.5 s	3.8 s	40
9	275% MATK	9×9	5.0 s	4.2 s	44
10	300% MATK	9×9	5.5 s	4.6 s	48

SP cost follows 8 + 4 × SkillLv.

Requirements

Wind Blade Lv3

Catalysts

1 Wind Stone per cast

Notes

Enemies marked by the Ninja's own Hydro Gale take more damage from this skill. Because it is cast on the ground rather than on an enemy, its cast time is not reduced by Hydro Gale.
Lightning Strike of Destruction Lv5 is required for Kamaitachi.
