— In-game description

Crimson Lotus is an action unlocked at level 1. It is available for Dancer. It hits all targets in a straight line with x3.5 the damage of Big Shot. Ranged LB3 has a cast time of 4.5s and an animation lock of 3.7s. This renders the user unable to perform any actions for a total of 8.2s. Ranged LB3 does more damage than Braver, more damage than Bladedance when it hits 2 targets and more damage than Melee LB3 when it hits 2 targets.

Upon activation, the Dancer begins a spinning dance as streams of pink and orange energy form a sphere around them. Upon completion, the Dancer surges forward leaving a wake of orange lotus blossoms. The Dancer then leaps back to their original position, striking a finishing pose as black and pink slash waves fill the air of the affected area.

Players require 3 full bars of limit break meter to use Crimson Lotus.

Crimson Lotus was introduced in Shadowbringers (5.0).

Lore

“

Setting their spirit aflame, the dancer enters a trance, stepping gracefully across enemy lines. In the wake of their footfalls bloom blood-red blossoms that scatter into countless aetherial blades.
