Related traits

• Broil Mastery (Lv. 54) - Upgrades Ruin to Broil and increases the potency of Ruin II to 160, and Art of War to 165.
• Broil Mastery II (Lv. 64) - Upgrades Broil to Broil II and increases the potency of Ruin II to 180.
• Broil Mastery III (Lv. 72) - Upgrades Broil II to Broil III and the potency of Ruin II is increased to 200.
• Broil Mastery IV (Lv. 82) - Upgrades Broil III to Broil IV and increases the potency of Ruin II to 220.

Notes

• The potency of this action is 140 until Broil Mastery is learned at Lv. 54, which increases potency to 160.
• Potency further increases to 180 when Broil Mastery II is learned at Lv. 64.
• Potency further increases to 200 when Broil Mastery III is learned at Lv. 72.
• Potency further increases to 220 when Broil Mastery IV is learned at Lv. 82.

Gameplay

• This spell is instantly casted, serving as a movement tool or allows for double-weaving abilities in between the global cooldown. As a trade-off, Ruin II does less potency than Ruin and all Broil spells at all levels; this action is not a direct upgrade of Ruin.
• Interestingly, when below level 54, it may be a damage-gain to use this spell instead of Ruin when in melee-range due to auto-attacks not being delayed due to casting. It may be preferable to use Art of War instead of Ruin II for this method however, because its potency is greater.
