−
* Fire as an element is mostly about getting out big damage, and quickly, to a group of enemies.
+
* [[Force (PSO2)#firetechscharge|Flame Tech S Charge]] significantly reduces charge time of Fire Techs.
−
** Fire heavily relies on the force skill tree's [[Force#firetechscharge|Flame Tech S Charge]] for reduced charge time. Average to below average in power and pp efficiency in comparison to other elements otherwise.
 
−
*** Fire forces typically emphasize having more PP to compensate for the short charge times draining PP very fast, which allows them to have their very high dps for longer.
 
−
** It's most similar to its techer tree counterpart [[Wind Techniques|Wind]]. But this is primarily in them both having good general utility. Their strengths are otherwise quite different.
 
−
* The most commonly used damaging techs are Gifoie, Foie, and Rafoie. They cover most of the situations you would want to use fire. Safoie, while less common, can be put to good use too.
 
−
* [[Fire Techniques#Shifta|Shifta]] is a very helpful technique, as it gives you more attack. Things dying faster means you are relatively safer.
 
 
* Fire, as its name should imply, causes the burn status effect. Enemies inflicted with it will take a percent of their max health every few seconds.

Concentrated:
 
−
* The charge time reduction is applied to the original cast time before flame s charge is in place. With a -0.40s craft, the charge time is effectively 0.3s.
 
−
* Makes it easier to use with zondeel and/or talis. The shorter charge time allows you to cast more before zondeel or the talis disappear.
 
−
* Be aware of the even larger drain on your PP though.

Blazing:

Blazing:
 
−
 
−
* The reduced burn rate of Blazing3 is a nonissue as a fire force, since most things you target should long dead before burn can do any reasonable amount of damage.
 
−
* With Blazing3 and Rafoie17, increases your damage by approximately 17.1~26.9% per cast.
 
−
* The charge time reduction is applied before the force tree skill fire tech charge.
 
−
 
−
Wide:
 
−
 
−
* Wide3 is useful for a loose pack of mobs and very likely will cause a burn. This can be good for enemies with higher amounts of HP.
 
−
** If you do use it for status, using it with [[Psycho Wand]]'s weaponoid potential {{pots|Ultimate Calamity}} gives it a 55% chance to cause a burn. If nobody else hits a group of enemies, enemies hit by this will very likely target you, which should make it easier to use higher damaging techniques once they're closer.
 
−
* The reduced power and slightly longer charge time compared to Blazing3 makes this less useful as a fire force, since it lowers rafoie's effective dps by quite a lot. If you are not a fire force, this may be better to take than Blazing3. You have other options for unlimited range damage ([[Wind Techniques#Sazan|Sazan]], [[Wind Techniques#Razan|Razan]], and [[Light Techniques#Grants|Grants]] being the most notable)

* This would theoretically allow Nafoie to be the highest single target dps fire technique with a good craft. However, the base PP cost will leave you struggling to maintain it, even with Ketos Proi or PP Convert. Doesn't even mention potential issues with regard to the projectile/field outright missing the intended target.
 
−
** A good craft of [[Light Techniques#Ragrants|Ragrants]] would equal or outdo Nafoie too, unless the target is fire weak and there is no skill points in Light Mastery. For less PP.

Overview

  • Flame Tech S Charge significantly reduces charge time of Fire Techs.
  • Fire, as its name should imply, causes the burn status effect. Enemies inflicted with it will take a percent of their max health every few seconds.
    • This effect can spread to other nearby enemies as well (and should you be burned, you can also inflict a person in your group with it as well).
    • The effect is similar to poison. Poison tends to have slower ticks and lasts a bit longer. Each tick does more damage compared to fire too. Poison cannot be spread to other enemies/allies though.

  • If you graze enemies with the edge of the projectile, the projectile will continue onward until the center hits something or the projectile reaches its maximum distance.
    • The "graze" is actually rather generous. If you're free-aiming the projectile, you can typically just jump up a bit and aim straight ahead to hit most smaller targets in a line.
  • Max projectile distance is about 50m charged, 40m uncharged.
    • 50m is similar to your max lock on distance coincidentally.
    • Compared to other projectiles, such as Megid, Foie has a fixed maximum distance.

  • When charged, 34% damage per hit, up to 3 hits per cast. So total damage is actually 102% of the listed power.
    • Status rate applies in a similar way, 34% per hit, up to 3 hits. A total of 102% of the listed rate.
  • Like almost all created fields, you cannot change the angle of attack. It will always have the same orientation.
  • Prioritizes hitting weakpoints, especially if cast at a similar height to the weakpoint.
  • Since it has a long animation, you can start casting it at a spot before a mob appears to have them start taking damage immediately.
    • Each cast doesn't cancel out the other. Casting multiple times in succession will create multiple overlapping fields.

  • 1 hit uncharged. 3 hits charged.
    • Each hit does 34% of the listed power when charged.
      • The status effect rate is similar; 34% of the listed status effect rate per hit.
  • Doesn't have much range, both horizontally and vertically. Much like Gibarta or any technique that creates a field, you also cannot adjust the angle of it unless it's cast from a different height.
    • For a more specific range, the charged range is about 8m, which is half of Gibarta's charged range. (Should be exact, but target hitboxes can alter this a bit.)
    • Unlike Gibarta however, using it with a talis does allow you to change the angle of the attack if you're locked on with a talis.
    • The lack of angle correction can make it easier to hit certain weak parts that don't have lockon otherwise. One example is De Malmoth's back.
  • Contrary to its animation, the hits all come simultaneously out in a small field in front of you.

  • The projectile travels in a somewhat slow arc/parabola shape to its destination.
    • If used with a thrown talis however, the projectile simply drops straight down.
  • Hitting a target does one powerful hit. If the projectile hits the ground, it causes a small field of fire to erupt and do hits of minor damage.
    • This behavior is the same charged or uncharged. The charged projectile is slightly larger and the field lasts longer.
    • Specifically, hitting a target directly with the projectile does the listed power. The field created by a charged nafoie does 5 hits of 13% listed power over a duration of about 3 seconds. Uncharged, it's 50% of the listed power for a direct hit, and 2 hits of about 6% listed power over about 1 second.
  • The max horizontal distance of the projectile is roughly 30M. Same max distance charged or uncharged. The projectile is alive for approximately 1.5s.
    • The fire field is approximately 10M in length for both charged and uncharged; the width is a fan/cone shape.

  • Locks you in place as it charges.
  • Approximately 1.5s delayed impact after casting.
    • Use free aim to aim ahead of a target that may be moving. Still has a max cast range of 30m though, charged or uncharged.
  • The explosion does linger for a bit, like Rafoie does. You can hit multiple spawning enemies with it.
  • If used with a talis, you cannot aim it. Ilfoie will drop where the talis is set.
  • Knocks down monsters that can be knocked down.
  • Is obstructed by any wall that may be between you and your target.
  • If you switch weapons before Ilfoie's projectile actually hits/ makes impact, it will not do anything except waste PP. This is true of any technique that has delayed damage or lingers.

    • If you have the Techer skill Shifta Advance maxed, level 17 Shifta boosts your base attack by 1.25 * 19.7% = 24.625%.
  • Fire element mastery from force skill tree does not boost Shifta's power.
  • This does affect AIS and Dark Blast (PSO2).
    • Doesn't affect stationary turrets however.
  • The best properties of all Shiftas used are taken into account. If your Shifta is weaker, using your Shifta will only extend the duration. This means that even if your Shifta is worse or better in some parts, using multiple Shiftas will keep the strongest properties of the buff. If a Techer hits you with a completely maxed Shifta (level 17, maxed Shifta Critical, maxed Shifta Advance, etc.), you can keep it indefinitely by extending the duration with your own Shifta.
  • Like most other support techniques, casting any support technique that isn't Zondeel prematurely stops the field's effects, despite the animation still playing.
  • Base Shifta range is approximately 1.5m uncharged, 6m charged.
    • With the Techer skill Territory Burst, range is approximately 3m uncharged, 10m charged. Coupled with the main class Techer skill Wide Support, range is 5m uncharged, 13m charged.
      • All these values are shared for at least Deband and Resta.
