Gameplay
- Any instance of damage from the machinist will increase the potency of Wildfire. This includes any abilities (like Eagle Eye Shot, if available), and Marksman's Spite. None of the attacks executed by the Bishop Autoturret will increase the potency of Wildfire.
- Any action that deals two instances of damage in one execution will contribute to two attacks for detonation. This includes Full Metal Field on the initial target, and Scattergun if only hitting one enemy.
- Wildfire will deal no damage if no actions contribute to its potency gain. Machinists may use this to their advantage by executing wildfire on
samurais to bait Chiten, but not deal damage to them. - Wildfire is a clear indicator that a player will take substantial amounts of burst damage from the machinist. Opponents may thus be ready to Guard against the incoming burst. Unlike Death Warrant, Wildfire will not ignore Guard when it detonates, even if it was applied (snapshotted) before Guard.
