Fire Shield

Reduce the damage from Fire Magic and Fire Alchemy attacks such as Fireball and Firebolt.

Description

Blocks offensive Fire magic spells such as Firebolt and Fireball. Casting this skill shields you and others with a magic sphere which blocks the magic spells while allowing attacks from the inside. Your Defense increases in proportion to the number of these shields overlapping each other.

Details

• Causes a spherical magical shield barrier to appear around the user, reducing Fire Magic or Fire Alchemy damage done to the user and anyone within the area of effect.
  • The following skills are reduced by the barrier:
    • Firebolt
      • This includes fusion spells that use firebolt.
    • Fireball
    • Self-Destruct
    • Flame Burst
    • Shock
    • Heat Buster
    • Elven Magic Missile (Fire)
    • Spirit Wand Awakening (Fire)
    • Dragon Fire Breath
    • Flames of Hell
    • Fire Breath
    • Cerberus Firebolt
  • Those inside the barrier will not be knocked back by fire based magic unless sufficient damage is dealt.
  • Those behind the barrier will be protected in the same manner.
  • If the caster is sent into deadly from the spell, they will be knocked back
• If the enemy is already located within the barrier when it uses an fire spell, the attack will not be affected by the shield.
  • Those outside the barrier will be protected by shield, as the spell must pass through the shield to reach them moving the opposite direction.
  • In addition, players cannot attack enemies from within the area of effect with fire spells.
• The caster cannot move or use any other skills while the barrier is up.
  • However if the caster is struck by anything other than a fire spell, even if the caster does not fall back, the shield will cancel.
• The shield cannot stop a Fireball from exploding but will still reduce damage.
• The more Fire Shields overlap, the less damage flame skills will do.
• Can be used during Windmill's animation.

Obtaining the Skill

Memory Book

• Complete the quest Cleric Basics in the Third Memoir. The skill will have training requirements up to Rank 9 completed.

Other Methods

• Talk to Kousai with Rank F or higher Natural Shield while carrying a Restored Red Crystal Orb in your inventory.
  • A Restored Red Crystal Orb is obtained by using L-Rod Exploration around Cor. It appears hidden as a 2x2 excavated artifact that must be appraised and restored.
  • Kousai can tell you if an appraised orb will produce a Restored Red Crystal Orb.

Training Method

• In order to satisfy the "Successfully block Fire attacks with Fire Shields on your allies" training requirement, you must be the one hit by Fire-Based attacks with your shield up, in addition to having someone else's shield up at the same time and overlapping yours.

Tips

• The most effective method for training "Successfully block a Fire attack with Fire Shield" is in The Saga: Iria's Episode 10's Inferno, which have numerous Red Falias Floating Stones that only use a fairly weak Fireball that deals around 1 damage to the Fire Shield regardless of its rank.
• Fire Sprites found on Ceo Island or Coill Dungeon can be helpful.
• The Mutant Maneating Plants in Shyllien Nature Reserve Outskirts District 2 can also be used to train Fire Shield. It is most effective to have full Fire Elemental equipment to reduce damage to 1 from each hit.
• An easy method to train this skill is by using the Cerberus that spawn in the Fomor Attack Shadow Mission. However, they randomly use all four elements, making this training method less reliable.
