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.
