Meltdown

From FFXIclopedia, the free Final Fantasy XI encyclopedia

Reactor failure causes self-destruct, dealing magic damage to targets in an area of effect.

Description

• Family: Doll
• Type: Magical
• Can be dispelled: N/A
• Utsusemi/Blink absorb: Ignores shadows
• Range: Unknown radial
• Notes: When it is about to use this move, it will curl up and levitate. It can be stunned.
• Unlike many mob abilities and spells, this cannot be interrupted with Sleep Bolts. Meltdown will still go off if the doll started casting before it was slept.
  • Light Shot has the same problem as the Sleep bolts. about 50% of the time, if the mob has already begun Meltdown, it will become slept but finish the move.
• You can't reduce the damage taken from this with Barfire or Barfira gear. I had 244 Barfira and my friend has 0 and we both took 1600. This is an HP based Self-Sacrificing move just like Mijin Gakure. It can only be reduced from things like Magic DEF Bonus, Shell, and Stoneskin.
