Notes

  • Enmity +15
  • The physical damage reduction effect begins at 90% damage reduction when activated or reapplied (if it is already active).
    • This damage resistance does not count towards the Physical Damage Taken cap of 50%, but is multiplied with it and rounded down.
    • Phalanx effects are applied after this damage reduction.
  • Every successful physical hit on the Dancer will reduce the effectiveness of Fan Dance by 10%, until it reaches the minimum of 20% damage reduction.
  • Activating this Job Ability automatically cancels out any Samba effect and the effect of Saber Dance, and prevents the player from using Sambas until it wears off or is cancelled.
  • The effects of Fan Dance on Waltz efficiency can be seen on the Waltz Efficiency page.
