Quick Ruin is a magic ability for Lightning in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. It is a unique version of the Ruin spell that is exclusive to the White Mage garb. Unlike the normal version of the spell, Quick Ruin allows Lightning to rapidly cast the spell without much delay in between casts.
Obtained[]
Quick Ruin Lv. 2 is automatically obtained as the locked ability for the White Mage garb, which is obtained from the Ark on Day 4.
Mechanics[]
When performed, Lightning will unleash the base Ruin spell onto the target, dealing magic non-elemental damage. Unlike the default Ruin, Quick Ruin has a finale trigger of nine and eliminates the backflip animation when the finale is performed. In return for its increased combo amount, Quick Ruin has the drawback of losing the higher stagger sustaining traits, having a stagger time amount of D. It costs 15 ATB to use and can be used when airborne.
Quick Ruin has the following set stats and cannot be upgraded.
Command | ATB Cost | Attack Power | Stagger Power | Stagger Time | Passive |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Quick Ruin Lv. 2 (White Mage) |
