It is worth noting that the flame breath used in the dragon form negates the defenses of metal monsters, instantly slaying any that linger long enough to be hit by it. The spell will also affect the caster's '''stats''', setting their attack to 140, defense to 75, and agility to 62 and their for the remainder of the battle. These stats match the [[Green dragon]], and the game cites the enemy's code for the spell: the attack stat is actually useless as the character will only spew fire. | ||
Damage output depends on the foe's resistance to fire, differentiating the seminal spell from its subsequent appearances. The possible damage output is 170~190, 136~151, 102~113, and 85~94. | Damage output depends on the foe's resistance to fire, differentiating the seminal spell from its subsequent appearances. The possible damage output is 170~190, 136~151, 102~113, and 85~94. Because all versions of ''III'' use success probability modifiers for a foe's resistance instead of damage reduction seen in every game after ''V'', this means that fire breath will '''always''' connect with an enemy and a monster with less than 85 HP will be burnt to ashes in all instances. Even [[Zoma|Zoma with his cloak of darkness]] will take damage from this spell's fire. | ||
