Flip Tatami is an active offensive skill of the Ninja class. The Ninja flips up the floor mats in a cross-shaped pattern around themselves, striking and knocking back every enemy caught in the burst while briefly shielding the user from ranged attacks.

Overview

Flip Tatami is a short-range area attack centered on the caster. It deals weapon-element physical damage to enemies in a cross around the Ninja, pushes them away, and for a few seconds protects the user from incoming ranged physical attacks. It is most useful for creating breathing room against melee swarms and for shrugging off archers or gunners while repositioning.

Mechanics

Effect: Deals physical damage to all enemies in a cross-shaped area around the user.

Damage formula: Damage = 100 + 10 × SkillLv (% of ATK) per target.

Reach (cross arms): the cross extends 1 / 2 / 2 / 3 / 3 cells from the user by skill level.

Knockback: enemies hit are pushed back 3 cells.

Ranged protection: for 3 seconds after the cast, the user is protected as if standing in Pneuma. Ranged physical attacks aimed at the Ninja are blocked. The effect covers the user only, does not protect allies and does not block magic.

Leveling

Level	Damage	Cross reach	SP
1	110% ATK	1 cell	15
2	120% ATK	2 cells	15
3	130% ATK	2 cells	15
4	140% ATK	3 cells	15
5	150% ATK	3 cells	15

Requirements

None. Flip Tatami is a base skill available directly in the Ninja tree, and it is the gateway to Shadow Jump and Cicada Skin Shedding.

Notes

• The ranged protection is a personal effect that follows the Ninja for its 3 seconds; it is not tied to the cell where the skill was cast.
• Only ranged physical attacks are blocked; magic still hits normally.
• The 3-second after-cast delay makes it a deliberate opener or escape tool rather than a spammable attack.
