Ice Meteor calls down ice pillars onto the chosen area. Every enemy in the area takes Water magic damage and may be afflicted with Freezing.
Overview
Ice Meteor is the area spell of the Ninja's Water line. The pillars land on a 7x7 area about half a second after the cast ends. Each level adds one more hit and raises the damage of every hit. Enemies marked by Thermal Haze take extra damage, which makes it a strong follow-up after Raging Fire Dragon.
Mechanics
Damage formula: Damage per hit = 100 + 20 × SkillLv (% of MATK). Number of hits = SkillLv.
- SP cost: 5 + 10 × SkillLv.
- Cast time: 1 × SkillLv seconds. The cast can be interrupted.
- After-cast delay: 0.6 × SkillLv seconds.
- Freezing: each enemy hit has a (10 + 10 × SkillLv)% chance to be afflicted with Freezing for up to 20 seconds. Freezing reduces Movement Speed by 30%, lowers attack speed and increases cast time by 30%. MDEF, AGI and the level difference lower the chance. Water element monsters are immune.
- Thermal Haze bonus: if the target carries the Ninja's own Thermal Haze mark, the damage is multiplied by 1 + (10 + 6 × Thermal Haze Lv) ÷ 100.
- If the Ninja has learned Hydro Gale, every enemy hit is marked by it.
- Enemies that are fully frozen (encased in ice) cannot be hit by Ice Meteor.
