Understand Firesmith of Lava-Forging
Useful when…
- Use two pieces for the Fire DMG bonus.
- Use four pieces for a wearer whose Skill damage is relevant and whose next attack after Ultimate can use the Fire DMG increase.
What are the effects?
Two pieces increase Fire DMG by 10%. Four pieces increase damage dealt by the wearer's Skill by 12%. After the wearer unleashes an Ultimate, their Fire DMG increases by 12% for the next attack. The latter effect is tied to the next attack, not described as a multi-turn buff.
Who can use the full set?
The set's bonuses line up with Fire damage, Skill damage, and an attack that follows an Ultimate. The full benefit is less relevant if the wearer rarely uses Skills or the next attack after Ultimate is not an important source of damage. The provided effect does not specify how long the next-attack bonus remains beyond identifying the next attack.
How do other damage sets differ?
As Navigator Isee Sees It raises Skill and Ultimate damage after combat entry or Skill use, stacking up to three times and losing a stack at turn start or after Ultimate. Eagle of Twilight Line gives Wind DMG and advances the wearer's action after Ultimate. Hunter of Glacial Forest gives Ice DMG and post-Ultimate CRIT DMG for 2 turns. Their attack types, elements, and triggers differ from Firesmith's Fire and Skill focus.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The element bonus applies to Fire DMG, and the Skill bonus applies to Skill damage.
- The additional Fire DMG is limited to the next attack after Ultimate, rather than a stated duration.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the post-Ultimate Fire DMG increase as a persistent buff lasting multiple turns.
- Assuming the Skill damage increase also applies to Basic ATKs or Ultimates.
