Spin to win

This review was machine-translated from the Japanese original. Numbers are checked against the original; if the wording reads oddly, the Japanese version is authoritative.

Class MOD that completely replaces Action Skill Cross-Fire’s burst fire with a fire-element “Beam Spin Attack”. Since the beam is always critical during Windfall, both the skill’s appearance and damage are greatly enhanced, making it a one for C4SH.

🧩 Source of red text A wordplay based on the classic phrase meaning “Spin to win” (as used in roulette/game shows, etc.). This MOD’s unique effect changes Cross-Fire to Beam Spin Attack (= spinning attack), and “Spin” (to rotate) is directly involved. The primary source citing a specific work is (unverified).

What kind of class MOD? (Beginner’s perspective)

• C4SH (Rogue) exclusive Legendary class MOD
• Theme is changing the behavior of Action Skill Cross-Fire itself
• Cross-Fire’s burst fire is replaced with “Beam Spin Attack (Fire)”
• During Windfall activation, that beam is always critical = damage spikes
• Dedicated status +40% Crit Damage (critical damage increase) = perfect synergy with always-critical during Windfall
• Element is Fire (Fire) = fire damage

Unique Effects (Mechanics)

The dedicated status +N% is a Lv-dependent reference value (2026-08-06 added) The +N% below originates from Lootlemon / MentalMars. In-game, the values of the dedicated status change with Lv (only the type of status is fixed, not the numbers).

• Measured: duration and damage types are Lv45 = +41% / Lv47 = +43%. Other MODs / other VHs have the same values if they are the same Lv (not dependent on individual rolls or prefixes) = provisional formula value% = Lv − 4
• With this formula, Web’s +45% is written as a fixed value equivalent to Lv49
• ⚠️ Whether numbers like +23% / +60% from other categories follow this formula is (unverified) (CD speed categories may also be +23% at Lv45/47, possibly Lv-independent)

Hotshot: Cross-Fire’s burst changes to a Beam Spin Attack (Fire). Windfall makes it always critical.

• In-game: Cross-Fire’s burst changes to a Beam Spin Attack (Fire). During Windfall it is always critical
• Web (Lootlemon): Cross-Fire’s Burst Fire is replaced with a Beam Spin Attack that deals Fire Damage. If Windfall is active, these Beams always Critically Hit enemies. Always comes with the Stat: +40% Crit Damage
• Dedicated status +40% Crit Damage (critical damage)
• Skill bonuses (+N) and accompanying stats vary per individual (＝selection points).
• Weakness: Benefits assume Cross-Fire + Windfall = builds that do not use Cross-Fire become almost a death ability

Drop Farming

Build Synergy

• Core of Cross-Fire-centric builds: changes the burst to a fire beam spin, making it always critical with Windfall = raises the damage of C4SH builds that run Cross-Fire by one tier
• Critical damage focus: dedicated +40% Crit Damage directly links with always-critical during Windfall = great synergy with critical damage boosting skills/equipment
• Complement to fire damage builds: the beam is fire-element = meshes with fire damage boost / status effect builds
• The granted target skill varies per individual (＝selection points).

Summary

• C4SH (Rogue) exclusive. Transforms Cross-Fire into a fire Beam Spin Attack, with always-critical during Windfall for damage specialization
• Dedicated +40% Crit Damage is directly linked to Windfall’s always-critical
• Benefits assume Cross-Fire + Windfall = Cross-Fire build exclusive
• Obtained from Vile Lictor (Umbral Foundry)
