Molten Strike /6 ⍟

An area of effect, melee attack that launches molten projectile balls at enemies. 50% of physical damage is converted to fire damage.

Name	Show Full Descriptions
Ancestral Call Support	Allows Molten Strike to target two additional nearby enemies. With at least three enemies nearby this can result in triple the amount of molten projectiles.
Concentrated Effect Support	Reduces the spread of Molten Strike's projectiles while greatly increasing the area damage they deal. This makes it ideal for formidable individual monsters.
Elemental Damage with Attacks Support	Multiplies the elemental damage done by Molten Strike. Converting all physical damage from Molten Strike to elemental damage maximizes the benefit this support provides.
Melee Physical Damage Support	Grants more melee physical damage for Molten Strike. Because 60% of physical damage is converted to fire damage, this support will also increase the fire damage done by Molten Strike.
Multistrike Support	Causes Molten Strike to repeat an additional two times, as well as providing a large bonus to attack speed.
Elemental Focus Support	Removes the ability for Molten Strike to inflict elemental ailments, such as ignite, on enemies. However, it significantly boosts the amount of elemental damage Molten Strike does. Converting all physical damage from Molten Strike to elemental damage maximizes the benefit this support provides.
