Fire Taoist

Fire Taoists can learn a broad set of destructive spells, which makes them the most feared magic users in Conquer Online. They fight with fire, thunder and lightning, and their damage keeps growing as each spell levels up.

Every Taoist starts the same way and picks a side at level 40: Fire for damage, or Water for healing and support (see Water Taoist). Most spells cost MP, so Meditation, which turns stamina back into MP, is part of every Fire Taoist's routine.

Taoists are promoted by Taoist Moon in the Job Center of Twin City (476,294). Each promotion brings a new title, better attributes, new spells and a reward that depends on how many times you have been reborn.

Each spell levels up as you use it. The damage below goes from the first level of the spell to its last:

Picture	Spell	From level	Damage	Note
	Thunder	1	≤ 86	Your first attack spell
	Fire	40	130 – 380	Needs Thunder at level 4
	Fire Meteor	52	760 – 3,250	Hit rate 40% to 75%
	Fire Ring → Fire Ball	55	378 – 2,800	Fire Ring becomes Fire Ball at higher levels
	Fire Circle	65	540 – 770	Always hits (100%)
	Bomb	82	855 – 2,623	Spell book dropped by monsters
	Fire of Hell	84	180 – 400	Spell book dropped by monsters
	Tornado	90	505 – 1,166	Needs Fire at level 3

Picture	Spell
	Cure: heals HP, from +20 at first up to +400.
	Meditation (from level 44): costs stamina and restores MP, from +310 up to +1,020.

When the XP circle turns gold, the XP skill buttons show up at the lower right of the screen for about 20 seconds. Click one, then right-click the target. The Fire Taoist's XP list includes Chain Bolt and:

	Lightning: 50 damage.
	Volcano (from level 40): 300 damage.
	Speed Lightning (from level 70): 450 damage. You learn it from a book sold by the Pedlar in Twin City or the Pharmacist in the Market.
	Heaven Blade (pure skill): a huge strike that always hits, from 2,500 damage at level 40 up to 10,000 at level 110.

In the current game, Taoists gained two extra skills that work with special gear:

Picture	Skill
	Flame Lotus (Epic weapon only): releases energy that builds up on its own or from spells such as Tornado and Fire of Hell. After an 8-second countdown it deals heavy magic damage to enemies in range; if you are interrupted it still does some damage. 90-second cooldown.
	Breaking Touch (Hossu passive): Tornado and Fire of Hell may put a flame ring on the target. At 5 layers it burns the enemies around the target (not the target itself), can drop their HP down to 1, and raises your magic attack by 600 up to 2,000. A higher-level Hossu gives a better chance.
