Firefend

"Reduces fire damage and adds a fire element to attacks."

Firefend is an ability that can be learnt at the Mojo-Dojo.

It has the opposite effect of Icefend in terms of element.

Instead it reduces fire damage dealt to equipper and adds a fire-element to attacks.

Since this, it can inflict a fire-y status on enemies once you attack.

Such as, making them take damage as long as they are in it so,

it is quite useful overall and helps against Ghosts.

Fire is a powerful skill that makes enemies within it take damage,

since this makes normal-attacks do this it is certainly useful for it not costing MP to inflict Fire.

Since it is an auto-skill, you may equip 3 other auto-skills and create needed strategies.

Weapons/Rings can automatically increase it's LV and, the Mojo-Dojo can increase it by using items.

This also reduces the fire damage dealt, which is good especially if ghosts are in the Map.
