Enmity

  • As with Lugh, Elatha, Buarainech, and Tethra, Ethniu's enmity is unique.
    • Focuses on the last person to perform an action without regard for how much enmity an action has.
      • Actions include things such as offensive spells, abilities, or weapon skills.
        • Missed weapon skills will not count.
      • Melee swings and any spells or abilities that do not target it do not count as actions for hate shifting.
    • Tanks can repeatedly cast Cure and other spells on the target in order to increase their action rate.
  • Ethniu retaliates to magic being cast on it that pulls hate with an instant cast Aero IV against the caster.
    • This will not cause Ethniu to level up.
    • This also includes casting spells like Flash or Curing Ethniu.
    • Retaliation with Aero will not interfere with the casting timer for spells.
      • After an Aero IV retaliation, if the casting window is up then Ethniu will go right into the spell.
  • Ethniu retaliates to job abilities and weapon skills used on it that pulls hate with a dagger weapon skill against the user.
    • This does not consume Ethniu's TP, and as with casting it may immediately utilize a TP move afterwards if able.
