竜餐の祈祷のひとつ

己が姿を竜となし、氷のブレスを吐く
タメ使用で、ブレスを吐く時間が延びる

竜餐を続け、只人を超えた者だけが
竜心、ドラゴン・ハーティドと呼ばれる

Acquisition[]

Dragon Communion: Caelid / Jagged Peak

Acquired from the altar at the Cathedral of Dragon Communion in Caelid for 1 Dragon Heart.

Effects[]

Creates a dragon head, before breathing out a wave of frozen mist, dealing Magic damage equal to 135% of Incantation Scaling and inflicting 110 Frostbite build-up up to 3 times (i.e. damage for 405% of the same and 330 Frostbite build-up cumulatively) if the entire wave hits.

Continue channeling the spell to let loose a second breath, also hitting up to 3 times.

Notes[]

Costs 48 points of Stamina to cast, and another 48 points upon using the follow-up breath.
Damage is boosted by 10% by the Roar Medallion.
Damage is boosted by 15% per Dragon Communion Seal held in an active hand (2 max).
Damage is boosted by 20% when the Rock Heart is used.
This spell can be cast while mounted but cannot be cast in midair, unlike Borealis's Mist and Ghostflame Breath.
Of the three Frostbite-causing Dragon Breaths (this spell, Borealis's Mist, and Ghostflame Breath), this is the most cost-effective for inflicting Frostbite, but causes less damage than the other two breaths.
- Compared to Borealis's Mist, this spell deals 15% less damage but also consumes 29% less FP.
- Compared to Ghostflame Breath, this spell deals 20% less damage but consumes 17% less FP and causes 100% more Frostbite build-up.
Casting this spell until it stops costs 120 FP: 2*36 FP from the two breaths and 12*4 FP from keeping the spell running.
- Only 65 FP is actually needed for the entire routine. This is just enough to start the second breath and thereafter the game does not care that no FP remains as it will continue casting regardless.
This is the second weakest "default" dragon breath attack, dealing 15% less damage than Glintstone Breath and 6% less damage than Dragonfire (the latter is only if an enemy's Fire Damage Negation and Magic Damage Negation is equal), and deals only 3% more damage than Rotten Breath.
- However, the Frostbite build-up of the spell can even the field against non-immune enemies as it deals a significant amount of percentage-based damage and lowers their Damage Negation against further attacks.
Deals 20% less damage against other players.

Trivia[]

Patch 1.07 the power of the following incantations in PvP has been decreased.
- The multiplier for damage against other players was lowered from 100% to 80%.
