Crimson Fire Formation raises a swirling storm of fire in a 5x5 area centered on the Ninja, scorching every enemy that stands within it for the duration of the formation.

Overview

When cast, a Fire-property formation forms around the caster and lingers for 20 seconds. Enemies caught inside take repeated Fire magic hits and may catch fire (Burning). Only one Crimson Fire Formation can be active at a time, and it shares its slot with Hidden Water: casting one cancels any existing instance of either skill.

Mechanics

The formation deals damage from every cell of the 5x5 grid. Each cell can strike enemies inside it a fixed number of times over the skill's lifetime.

Damage formula: damage per hit = 50% MATK

Each hit has a 5% chance to inflict Burning on the target for 30 seconds. The number of hits each cell delivers increases with skill level.

Leveling

Level	Hits per cell	Cast time	SP
1	5	6.0s	25
2	5	5.5s	25
3	6	5.0s	25
4	6	4.5s	25
5	7	4.0s	25
6	7	3.5s	25
7	8	3.0s	25
8	8	2.5s	25
9	9	2.0s	25
10	9	1.5s	25

Damage per hit is a flat 50% MATK at every level; higher levels only add more hits per cell and shorten the cast time.

Catalysts

• 1 Flame Stone

Notes

• Shares its active slot with Hidden Water; casting either skill removes the other.
