Tips

The damage over time part of this spell does not stack with Aetherial Spark or Song of Torment.
- Nightbloom's potency is greater and its duration is longer than that of the other two spells.
- However, Nightbloom's 120-second recast timer and 60-second duration means the damage-over-time can at best have only 50% uptime. The other two spells have no such restriction, and can have their DoT active 100% of the time.
While it shares a recast time with Both Ends, this spell is almost always superior to it due to its higher overall potency.
Due to its high potency, it should be used under Moon Flute, which will snapshot the buffed damage-over-time.
This spell's debuff is called Bleeding.
