Revision 1

Overview

Flaming Mane is a Phantom Edge in Phantom Blade Zero. It takes the form of a metal mask that Soul dons to spew fire at enemies. The weapon builds a unique Burning meter on targets that, once filled, ignites them for sustained fire damage. It is one of the more visually distinctive Phantom Edges.

Moveset

• Fire breath: a cone-shaped burst of flame that hits multiple enemies in front of the player

• Fire wave: a horizontal sweep of flame that covers a wide area

• Eruption: a point-blank burst that deals heavy fire damage around the player

• Inferno: sustained fire stream that rapidly builds the Burning meter on a single target

Burning meter

Flaming Mane's attacks fill a Burning meter on each target they hit. When the meter is full, the target ignites and takes continuous fire damage for a set duration. The ignition damage is significant and scales with the amount of fire damage dealt while filling the meter. Once ignited, the meter resets and can be built up again for another ignition.

Against groups of enemies, the fire breath and fire wave attacks can build Burning meters on multiple targets simultaneously, leading to chain ignitions that devastate groups. Against single targets, focused use of the inferno stream fills the meter fastest.
