Requirements
- Learnable by the Assassin from the second job advancement on (tier 2).
- Each level costs one skill point; the maximum, level 10, takes 10 points.
- Needs a claw and 1 star per use, taken from the first stack that holds enough.
Strategy
It heals as it hurts, which saves potions on long hunts. At level 10 it hits with 220% for 42 MP.
Notes
- The damage roll uses one level more than the skill window shows: at level 10 the window says 200% and the skill hits with 220%. The percentage is added on top of the base damage, and the roll then adds 2.
