Spider Web traps a target in sticky webbing, pinning it in place and leaving it dangerously exposed to fire.
Overview
Spider Web throws a web onto an enemy, immobilizing it and slashing its ability to dodge. While ensnared, the target also takes double damage from Fire-element attacks, making the web a powerful setup for fire magic such as Fire Bolt or Meteor Storm. The trap is a favorite combo opener for Professors and fire Wizards working together.
Mechanics
The web is placed on the target as a ground trap that holds it for 16 seconds. While caught, the target is rooted in place and its Flee (dodge) is reduced.
Magnitude:
- Flee reduced by 50% while ensnared
- Fire-element damage taken is doubled (×2)
The web is consumed when the trapped target is struck by a Fire attack: that hit deals its doubled damage and then the web breaks, freeing the target. The web is also dispersed by Fire Rain.
Catalysts and requirements
Costs 50 SP and consumes 1 Spider Web item per cast.
Notes
Because a single Fire-element hit both deals double damage and immediately ends the web, time fire spells deliberately: a non-fire follow-up keeps the target webbed, while a fire hit cashes in the double damage and releases it.
