‘But this shield doesn’t block that much!’ True, but it’s reapplied on every action including the ultimate that you can use mid-enemy-turn.

In addition to the Magma Will mechanic, every action that Fire Trailblazer takes applies a 2 turn shield to all allies with a relatively low shield durability that’s based on your DEF. All of this, and it still recovers a skill point on use as well.

At 4 stacks, the next basic attack becomes enhanced, dealing increased damage, increased toughness damage, and it becomes aoe dealing damage to enemies adjacent to your target. Doing a basic attack or skill, or getting hit, will add 1 stack of Magma Will. Do note that it is a proper provoke, meaning if this debuff is successfully applied against enemies, they are guaranteed to attack you, meaning this circumvents enemy lock-ons as well. The skill taunts all enemies and gives a large amount of damage reduction. Widely applicable in quite literally every situation, whether there’s a fire weakness on the field or otherwise. This is a unit that can occupy a supportive shielding role, whilst dishing out very impressive damage and consistently recovering SP for the rest of the team.

Incomparably superior to the Destruction variant.
