Flavor Text

A behavior learned from certain species of coeurl, the caster rises to the challenge of losing comrades by tapping into a feral survival instinct. When all seems lost, or when simply treading where a lone mage was not meant to tread, unrestrained ferocity is sometimes the only way to win through

Tips

Acquisition Tips

  • Master Coeurl uses this immediately. Wait for it to finish casting before slaying it. May take a few tries.
  • Coeurl Smriti casts it if both Coeurls don't die together.

Other Tips

  • Casting a debuff such as Addle or Off-guard will grab a enemy's attention without dealing damage.
