— In-game description
Vermillion Scourge is an action unlocked at level 1. It is available for Red Mage. It hits all targets in a radius of 15 yalms with x3.5 the damage of Skyshard. Magical Ranged DPS LB3 has a cast time of 4.5s and an animation lock of 8.1s. This renders the user unable to perform any actions for a total of 12.6s. Magical Ranged DPS LB3 does more damage than Braver, more damage than Bladedance when it hits 2 targets and more damage than Melee LB3 when it hits 2 targets.
When activated, the Red Mage forms their rapier into a spellcasting staff and draws on blue-violet energy. Upon completion, the Red Mage stabs their weapon into the ground, forming two sigils of White and Black Magic in the air in front of themselves. Each sigil fires projectiles of light that trace an additional rune on the marked area of the ground, which detonates in two massive pillars of red energy.
- Players require 3 full bars of limit break meter to use Vermillion Scourge.
- Vermillion Scourge was introduced in Stormblood (4.0).
Lore
“The pinnacle of the red mage’s art. The practitioner scribes two eldritch circles upon the ground which he then accelerates with an infusion of black and white mana, resulting in a titanic eruption of arcane force.
