Wind Blade is an offensive Wind-property magic skill of the Ninja that strikes a single enemy with a rapid flurry of cutting wind blades.
Overview
Wind Blade is the Ninja's basic Wind magic attack. It focuses entirely on one target, delivering several quick hits in a single cast. The number of hits grows with skill level, so higher levels raise total damage and perform better against targets that reduce damage per hit.
Each hit marks the target for the Combustion Gale passive, which speeds up the Ninja's next Fire spells on that enemy.
Mechanics
The skill hits one enemy multiple times. Each hit is calculated independently as magic damage.
Damage formula: Damage per hit = 100% MATK
Number of hits: 1 + SkillLv, so 2 hits at Lv1 up to 6 hits at Lv5.
Cast time: 0.5 + 0.5 × SkillLv seconds.
Effect: if the Ninja has learned Combustion Gale, hitting the target applies its wind vortex mark to that enemy.
Leveling
| Level | Hits | Damage per hit | Total damage | Cast time | SP cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 100% MATK | 200% MATK | 1.0 s | 14 |
| 2 | 3 | 100% MATK | 300% MATK | 1.5 s | 18 |
| 3 | 4 | 100% MATK | 400% MATK | 2.0 s | 22 |
| 4 | 5 | 100% MATK | 500% MATK | 2.5 s | 26 |
| 5 | 6 | 100% MATK | 600% MATK | 3.0 s | 30 |
SP cost follows 10 + 4 × SkillLv.
Requirements
- Ninpou Training Lv1
Notes
- All hits land on a single target; this is not a splash skill.
- A target marked by the Ninja's own Hydro Gale takes more damage from Wind Blade, and Wind Blade casts faster against it.
- Wind Blade Lv3 is required for Lightning Strike of Destruction and Combustion Gale.
