Scorch, occasionally also referred to as "Combustion" or "Explosion", is a compound element and a form of Elemental Bending in Endless Utopia Online. It is formed by merging together Fire and Wind.

Background[]

Overview[]

Since Scorch is a compound element, there are several prerequisites to learning how to use it. First, the user must have learnt, have a decent control over both Fire and Wind. Secondly, the user has to be as equally experienced with both Prime Elements. Lastly, the user also needs big reserves of Aera, and to have good control over it. Considering the first two requirements, this last one should be easy for the user to achieve it.

Basically put, Scorch is the result of Fire powered up by Wind, therefore creating "scorching" fire. One needs to create fire and at the same time, fuel it with air, increasing its temperature and size. The balance is rather hard, as too much wind will create a flame that's too hard to control, and too little wind won't fuel the flame enough. Due to the necessity of maintaining this balance, this element is rather unstable. A Scorch User rarely creates flames that exist for long periods of time, but rather, they consume combustible gases quickly and disappear, unlike Fire or Sun, which both create flames that last for a longer time). The flames and blasts produced by Scorch are pink or light orange.

When a user is in first stages of learning, it is difficult for the apprentice to maintain a technique for long periods of time, and without care, this could results in close quarters explosions that can potentially harm the user if they are big enough. With time and practice, the user can learn to better focus wind, and therefore, improve his aim. Scorch experts can maintain fires for longer periods of time, and create large explosions. Masters of Scorch can create focused beams of Scorch that explode upon contact, maintain the flames of Scorch burning for long periods of time, and even use Scorch in close quarters combat.

Scorch is probably one of the most versatile elements in terms of attacking, but similarly to Fire, it does not have an effective defense.

Strengths[]

  • Water: due to its intense heat, scorch is able to evaporate large bodies of water with few attacks. Even water's other forms suffer this weakness (albeit to a lesser extent).
  • Air: air can be used to increase the combustible gases, making scorch even more powerful.

Weaknesses[]

  • High amounts of humidity: high amounts of water in the air render the Scorch user defenseless.
  • Oxygen: Scorch is far more dependant on nearby oxygen than regular Fire.

Techniques[]

  • Spark Blast

Trivia[]

  • As the combination of the two opposed elements, Scorch can be seen as the opposite element of Nature.
