Usage Strategies

Ancestral Fireball is a very versatile skill. It can be modded to be used either as primary attack combat art, or as supporting one. Usage: - damage and area of effect damage - multi-hitting (up to 3 fireballs) - up to 2 homing fireballs

Due to its damage to mobs being quickly outclassed by blazing tempest and damage to bosses being quickly outclassed by incendiary shower, it may be a good idea to mod incandescent skin, blazing tempest and incendiary shower before modding fireball.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Very versatile skill
  • Can be used against single and multiple enemies
  • Good damage and area of effect damage (with mod)
  • Can get to extremely low casting times (like 0.5s)
  • Can have up to 2 homing fireballs

Cons

  • Homing fireballs miss if an enemy is behind an obstacle
  • Area of effect damage is outclassed by Blazing Tempest
  • If you pick Fusilade & Homing, the second fireball will target a different monster, though if you're close enough to the first target it will still hit that.
