Notes
- When the monster using the skill goes into Power Up, the damage of this skill is also multiplied by 3.
- This skill works by targeting its caster and will take elemental weakness into account, before splashing it as Neutral damage as single-targeted magic to each enemy in range. Damage can be increased by its caster wearing an armor with weakness to the caster's elemental weapon, e.g. water armor with a wind weapon.
- Alice-carded shield will also amplify the damage if the caster has that equipped and caster is not boss type.
- Having the most players possible in the area is ideal, as the damage will be more spread out.
- Mercenaries and homunculi also count as valid targets and will reduce the damage taken.
- Damage is recalculated on each of the three hits. If characters die during the first or second hit of this skill, the damage of subsequent hits will no longer be divided amongst them.
- Neutral element (non-armor), ranged, hard M.Def, Race, Size, and boss type reductions do not reduce Earthquake damage received:
