Flame Strike in Ultima Online (UO) Flame Strike is a powerful area-of-effect (AoE) spell in Ultima Online, primarily used by mages for dealing high fire damage to multiple enemies. Key Details: Spell Circle: 5th Circle (Magery) Mana Cost: 40 Minimum Magery Skill Required: 52.0 Effect: Deals fire damage in a small radius (approximately 3 tiles). Damage Formula: Scales with Magery, Intelligence, and spell damage modifiers. Resistances: Affected by the target's Fire Resistance. Usage Tips: PvE (Player vs. Environment): - Effective against groups of weak monsters (e.g., imps, hell hounds). - Useful in dungeons where enemies cluster together. PvP (Player vs. Player): - Less common due to high mana cost and easy resistance stacking. - Can be used in combination with Explosion or Meteor Swarm for burst damage. Synergies: - Pair with Flame Field (4th Circle) for area denial. - Use Reactive Armor or Protection to mitigate damage while casting. Notable Mechanics: Spell Damage Increase (SDI): Increases damage output (caps at 15% for non-PvP). Eval Int (Evaluating Intelligence): Boosts damage further. Resist Spells: Reduces incoming spell damage, including Flame Strike. Comparison to Other Spells: Meteor Swarm (7th Circle): Stronger but single-target. Earthquake (6th Circle): Larger AoE but physical damage. Fireball (3rd Circle): Cheaper but weaker. Would you like details on a specific aspect (PvP tactics, farming spots, or skill training)?
