Meteor Swarm is Sophia's Limit Burst. It is a damage-type ability that deals Fire-elemental magic damage to all enemies, while ignoring their SPR by 50%, and greatly reduces their resistance to Fire for the next three turns. Depending on Sophia's rarity, their resistance is reduced by 80% (5★), by 90% (6★) or by 100% (7★). The number hits also differ: it does two, four or five hits, respectively.

Its damage modifier will depend on Sophia's LB level:

Rarity Name Change in Effect Cost
5★ Meteor Swarm Base (Lv. 1) Damage dealt (4x) 22 FFBE Limit Burst crystal
Max (Lv. 20) Damage dealt (5.9x)
6★ Meteor Swarm Base (Lv. 1) Damage dealt (7x) 26 FFBE Limit Burst crystal
Max (Lv. 25) Damage dealt (9.4x)
