Had a Raider with Oni-Goroshi during Heist League. Needed the phasing for obvious reasons.

One may confuse Oni-Goroshi's Her Embrace as a Righteous Fire, which, while it is not an ignition, it is still a Burn, and therefore can be "doused" with a flask for Ignition immunity, or Sin's Rebirth.

Her Embrace, on the other hand, is just a Fire DoT on you. It is neither an ignition, nor a burn.

In order to avoid death by Her Embrace, I STRONGLY suggest you to equip yourself a second set of weapons (you should already do it in order to level up 6 more gems, I hope). When Her Embrace gets too hairy, just quickly tap X (or whatever key you bound to Weapon Swap) twice - Her Embrace will go away the moment you start swapping.

It's not like you get any bonus for constantly equipping it, after all.


The reason why a flask cannot remove that burn is flask cannot remove that buff/debuff Her Embrace. However, RF is not an aura skill that reserve mana, so that you can use the flask to remove the "magic" burning of yourself. RF is coded quite complex that burn yourself and burn monster are two part. Weapon swap (if your RF gem in weapon) only turn off monster part

you can weapon switch to remove Her Embrace

But this one I saw kill Shaper with the OLD version of the sword (The Goddess Unleashed -- much weaker) did so with weapon-swapping...to a different-socketed Goddess Unleashed. Now that's some next-level love.


That's... brilliant. Will do it with the next time I'll try to make a character with it. It was a fun gameplay. It's also more respectful of the original concept.
