Gifoie ギフォイエ A fire technique. Ring of fire burns any nearby enemies. Type : Normal Targets : 10 HUmr HUnl HUct HUcl 15 20 × × RAmr RAml RAct RAcl 15 20 × × FOmr FOml FOnm FOnl 30 30 30 30

Gifoie is a normal attack technique that deals fire damage. It creates a ring of fireballs that circles rapidly around the area it was cast for a short time.

The area covered by, and the duration of, the fireballs increases with tech level. Enemies that enter the constantly growing area of effect, indicated by the current position of the fireballs, are immediately damaged by Gifoie regardless of where the fireballs currently are. For example, new enemies could spawn in the center of Gifoie's area of effect and be instantly damaged, despite the fireballs being nowhere near them.

Enemies can only be damaged once by each cast of Gifoie, despite the fact that higher levels of Gifoie visually create more fireballs.

Pros

• Extremely useful. Can be used to suppress huge areas at higher levels and stack up damage for approaching or yet-to-spawn enemies
• Can interrupt mob attacks (e.g. Dorphon/Delbiter charges, Zu dives, etc.), though Razonde is faster to cast

Cons

• Overuse can create problems when fighting mobs that react to damage, such as Sinow Berill and Gi Gue
• Has one of the longest casting times of any technique in the game, though this can be partially mitigated by V801
