Effects by level

Evolution requirements

• Evolution An evolution: it comes from a chest, never from a level-up card. Evolved from F Fists of Fire Catalyst C Claw Mastery From character level 18 Evolves into C Claws of Thunder → B Blades of Ice Catalyst W Weapon Block From character level 24 Once it evolves on, Fists of Fire can evolve into it again.

Synergies and practical checks

• Phoenix Strike: +80% Lightning Damage per Level

• Its release strikes the monster with lightning. With two charges or more it also bursts in a nova from it, and with three it sends charged bolts out of it. The monster struck takes the nova but none of the bolts.
• None of what it releases critically strikes.

Skill modifiers

• Chain — The release's lightning arcs on to 6 more monsters at 90%, and its nova deals 20% less.
• Static — Each of the first 3 blows zaps the nearest other monster for 20% of the release.
• Thunderclap — The release's lightning and charged bolts deal twice the damage, and its nova half.
