Characteristics edit
This ability creates a pillar of flame that singes a single enemy, dealing a high amount of fire damage, but has a 33.5% chance to fail when used. In some games, it is considered a breath attack and as such, it is affected by abilities such as Backdraft and Insulatle. In both Dragon Quest VI and Dragon Quest VII, the ability will always fail if it is used while fighting on the ocean or underwater.
Appearances edit
Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation edit
Pyre o' Fire costs 0 MP to use and deals around 170~190 fire damage to a single enemy, with a 2⁄3 chance of succeeding. It will always fail if it is used when fighting on the ocean or underwater. It has the ability to bypass Defending Champion. Pyre o' Fire is learned by advancing to rank 7 as a Ranger. On the enemy side, it can be used by Loss leader, Demon overlord, and Mortamor's third form. In the original Super Famicom version, the enemy's version would always land when used against the party, but in remake versions, it has the same chance of failing as the player.
