Holy

Holy is a spell from Ring of the Lucii.

Instead of phasing, Noctis will cast Holy when you have the Ring equipped. Guarding gradually expends your MP at a rate of 10% per second, but each cast recovers 15% of your maximum MP. Unlike phasing, this does not work against bullets.

Damage scales with two stats: Magic and your level (that's right, Holy scales with level, Death doesn't). There doesn't seem to be any hard-caps.

Timing your dodge perfectly to the enemy's attack makes Noctis do "Super Holy". This does 15 times more damage (basically, it almost always hits the damage cap) and recovers 40% of your max MP. If you're far away, Noctis will teleport close to the enemy. This also very frequently puts enemies to Vulnerability state.

Patch 1.07 changes:

• Halved normal damage
• Increased MP recovery from 10% to 15%
• Reduced recovery time between casts
• Added "super holy"
