Dance of the Flames is one of Brighid's Battle Skills in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It adds an additional miss chance to enemy arts that are considered "ranged".

Overview

When this skill applies, it's an excellent passive boost to Brighid's ability to reduce incoming damage, to the point where certain enemies (and even superbosses) are almost completely stumped by it. But it does nothing in most cases, and it's not at all clear in the moment whether it does - there are even some enemy arts (such as "Grenade") that are ranged for some enemies and not ranged for others, despite having the same name and animation.
