Fire Discharge

Fire Discharge (, Fire Element Launch) is one of 's discharge arts in Xenoblade Chronicles and Future Connected. It detonates a fireball that deals damage and to enemies within range.

While this art has a name and short description in the game data, they are not displayed; only the generic Elemental Discharge information is shown instead.

Overview
Flares do decent initial and a large amount of subsequent damage to a lot of enemies. The initial spike in may be troublesome if the crowd is large, but it is generally more managable than most other elementals. It is inadvisable to attack with two flares in succession, as the second will erase the first's afterburn; this is not a concern if the blaze is caused by a different art such as Burninate.

Data
Note that discharge arts have two hits that serve different purposes. The first hit is when the elemental's passive buff stops and Melia gains talent gauge. The second hit is when the elemental deals damage and inflicts status (if any).
