Basic Information and Statistics

  • Abbreviation: RoBF
  • Damages melee attackers that hit, with fire. (similar to Guardian Angel) Damage returned seems to be about 10% tattoo level, pre-AC, etc. reduction. Damages attacker with every blow they deal.
  • Protects against fire. Approximately 10% of tattoo level is absorbed per battle. (e.g. if you can absorb 10K damage, and take 10K in the first round, you no longer absorb any more.)
  • Aura effect of 25%.

Forging Information

  • Not upgradeable.

Forging

Strategy and Comments

  • Good tattoo for low pr characters due to the large number of Single Fireball Mages.
  • Not recommended due to it's overall weakness.
  • This tattoo used to grant Evasion, but no longer does. The focus now should be to get hit, but for as little damage as possible.

Fun Facts

  • This tattoo was formerly a cloak (Cloak of Balrog Flame), and has failed to gain as much popularity as its predecessor. Many people are still confused on how to use this item properly. Numerous discussions and even one contest have been based upon this item. (Contest:[1], Discussion: [2] and [3])
