Lion’s Roar Progression Overview
Stage 1 – Base Skill (Tier 1)
At its initial unlock stage, Lion’s Roar performs two actions:
- Bell Slam – You strike a large bell, dealing moderate physical damage.
- AoE Roar – A 14-hit roar shockwave releases outward, damaging enemies in a wide radius.
Base Effects:
- 14 hits of AoE damage
- Minor knockback
- 15% Damage Reduction during the roar
- Grants Fortitude, improving survivability
This version is ideal for arena encounters and crowd control.
Stage 2 – Damage Scaling Increase
As you upgrade the skill through mystic progression, the roar’s hit damage increases significantly:
Enhanced Effects:
- Higher Physical Attack % scaling
- Higher flat Physical Damage
- Increased Attribute Damage contribution
- Stronger AoE knockback
Your roar becomes a more reliable burst tool, especially as your weapon stats improve.
Stage 3 – Venom Interaction (Special Mechanic)
At advanced progression, Lion’s Roar gains a special synergy:
Venom Detonation Mechanic
If the roar hits an enemy affected by Toad Venom, the venom detonates, spreading to nearby targets and converting the roar into a powerful high-scaling explosion.
Enhanced Roar Damage (With Venom):
- Boosts roar damage to ~498% Physical Attack
- Adds +33 Physical Damage
- Spreads venom to nearby enemies
- Perfect for poison-focused builds
This stage turns Lion’s Roar into a burst AoE nuke when paired with venom sources.

Final-stage Benefits:
- Reliable 14-hit damage wave
- Consistent knockback across all targets hit
