Soul Strike unleashes the wrath of spirits, battering a single enemy with ghostly orbs for Ghost-element magic damage.
Overview
Soul Strike is a Ghost-element single-target nuke with a fixed, short cast time, making it reliable when other bolts are too slow. It is especially effective against Undead-element enemies, where each orb hits harder. The number of orbs scales with skill level.
Mechanics
The skill strikes once per skill level, with each orb dealing 100% of MATK against ordinary targets. Against Undead-element enemies, each orb is amplified.
Damage formula:
- Versus normal enemies: Damage = 100 × SkillLv (% of MATK), as SkillLv hits of 100% each.
- Versus Undead enemies: each hit deals 100 + 10 × SkillLv (% of MATK).
At Lv 5 that is five 100% hits (500% total) normally, or five 150% hits (750% total) against Undead.
Leveling
| Level | Hits | Total vs normal (% MATK) | Per-hit vs Undead (% MATK) | SP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 100 | 110 | 15 |
| 2 | 2 | 200 | 120 | 20 |
| 3 | 3 | 300 | 130 | 25 |
| 4 | 4 | 400 | 140 | 30 |
| 5 | 5 | 500 | 150 | 35 |

- Ghost element bypasses most armor elements, making it a dependable answer when an enemy's defensive element resists the elemental bolts.
