Notes

• It is a common misconception that this skill endows weapons with the Fire property during its 10-second buff. In actuality, this skill adds an additional 20% Fire property damage on top of all normal attacks for ten seconds. This means that if the user does a Neutral property attack, only the 20% Fire property damage will be affected by the opponent's Element.
• The Fire property damage bonus pierces defense. It is also calculated into every hit of this skill (this skill, when mastered, will inflict [250% + (20% × 250%)] = 300% physical damage, but 1/6th of that damage will be of Fire property that pierces defense).
• Since some skills are pseudo-elemental, the 20% of Fire element bonus is pseudo-elemental too.

Applications

• This skill is useful for pushing players out of Pneuma, as it position bugs them, unlike Bowling Bash or Brandish Spear, making it difficult for them to re-Pneuma. This is helpful for aiding party members with ranged attacks.
• The 10-second buff is not an effective tool for bypassing Ghostring carded armor, even if the user's weapon is not Neutral property. Endows, Enchant Poison, or Cursed Water are far better methods.
• Because statuses from cards or weapons can be transferred through this skill, it can be a mean of inflicting many players at once with statuses. Although, Bowling Bash can also have more range when its "bowling" effect works.
• Many Priests or other classes also use this skill in either PvP or WoE to inflict statuses.
