Overview
Fire Claw is one of 10 possible unique skills that can be obtained from Frogidi's Fortunes. Players can spend 10 Tokens at Frogidi's Fortunes for a chance to obtain the skill. Succeeding the Action Command performs an 'Excellent!!!' hit, increasing the Damage dealt.
The Fire Claw skill has several alternative colours from Frogidi's Fortunes, which changes the flame of the player's hand and claw trail afterwards.
Usage
Fire Claw deals a low amount of Damage to all enemies in addition to having 1 Defense piercing as well as Burn-1.
Compared to the other 1 SP cost Frogidi's Fortune skills: Bomb Toss and Lightning Spear, Fire Claw deals equal amounts of Damage to each enemy rather than the more focused damage from both the other two skills.
Fire Claw is also comparable to the Tough Poison Spray, which inflicts similar Damage as well as a damage-over-time status and both costing 1 SP. The main difference is the Poison Spray's Poison status, but a lack of Defense piercing.
The most useful property of Fire Claw would be its Burn-1 status, as it results in dealing 2 Damage more in total. This property, however, is overshadowed by Fiery Explosion, dealing more Damage from the initial attack and has a 3 Turn Burn-1 status, though it costs 3 SP. This makes Fire Claw only useful as a supplement when 3 SP cannot be afforded or if Fiery Explosion is overkill for the situation.
Against Corruption 1 & 2 enemies, the enemy will all have at least 1 Defense, effectively raising Fire Claw by 1 Damage.
Against Corruption 3 enemies, the enemy will all have at least 3 Defense, rendering Fire Claw fully blocked unless the Damage is increased.
Overall, Fire Claw is mostly outshined by Fiery Explosion, but still useful as a weak clean-up tool on low HP enemies.
