* Phoenix Sword is affected by the area increase of Knightly Milk.
* Damage set to 80% (6 – 10) per hit when awakened.
* When awakened, there is a 25% chance per hit to trigger the burn effect, which leaves a burning fire on ground at the targets location. The fire lasts 5 seconds and deals 20% damage per second.
* The multihit property reduces the hit cooldown, allowing enemies that remain in the weapon's hit area to be hit periodically; every 5 ticks at level 6 and every 3 ticks when awakened (tick = 1/60 s). Because the hitbox accurately matches the VFX and it lingers longer in some areas, the times you can hit an enemy varies.

### Upgrades

 **Level 7** | Sword is engulfed in flames, and can hit many times. Also leave a burning fire under hit targets.

* Damage increase is granted as bonus ATK.

### Trailblazer

Periodically sets the ground on fire, dealing damage over a period of time.

* Slow amount is 30% and lasts 3 seconds.
* Upon reaching level 3, the slow effect is also applied by lingering fires from Phoenix Sword Awakened and Phoenix Fire.

### Phoenix Shield

Occasionally reduces damage taken and grants invulnerability for a short period of time.

* Charges are regained every 10 seconds on a global timer rather than the timer starting when the first or last charge is consumed.

## Outfits

The following outfits are available for Kiara:

## Tips

* The multihit property reduces the hit cooldown, allowing enemies that remain in the weapon's hit area to be hit periodically. Because the hitbox accurately matches the visual effect and it lingers longer in some areas, you can get more hits on a target by aligning the slash so that target is on its right hand edge/tip.
* Trailblazer can be used most effectively against mini-bosses and bosses by performing zigzagging or spiraling movements while slowly retreating away from them. This exposes the enemies to a denser cluster of flames, thus taking more damage.
* In a pinch, a fully charged Phoenix Shield (combined with Kiara's high health) can be used to bulldoze past small enemy groups in order to keep moving and thus maintain the attack bonuses from Dancer.

## Trivia

* Kiara has the highest base health value of any character currently in the game, at 90HP.
* Dancer skill effect likely references Kiara's abundant energy which tends to appear when she dances. Kiara's is likely the most proficient dancer in HoloMyth due to her past experience working in the Japanese entertainment/idol industry.
* The concept for Shark Call, Phoenix Fire and The Reaper is likely based on the popular Myth's Bad End (formerly known as HoloMyth vs Ina) fan animation by @Mazumaro, although Kiara's special only references the visual design.
