Blazing Link リンクフレイム
Sword/Rapier Skill Melee fire attack to 1 enemy. Adds fire attack to next ally's strike. The next ally to attack will do their action, followed by a fire attack. Physical component is cut if user's primary weapon is a sword, stab if it's a rapier. Only gets affected by ATK forges. ELM forges have no effect. Follow-up attack strength is calculated by a multiplier from the initial hit. If the initial hit was strengthened by a charge skill, all follow-ups are similarly strengthened. Does not establish follow-ups if initial hit misses. Follow-up attacks trigger even if the user dies or is incapacitated. Follow-up attacks can be triggered from follow-ups by Chase Samba and Rush Dance, and from self-attacks from a panicking enemy. Subclassing: If duplicated by Follow Trace, the second instance of this attack will trigger the first attack's follow-ups, but will not establish its own follow-ups.
