Meltdown (メルトン, Meruton?), also known as Merton or Melt, is a magical ability that is usually Fire-elemental.

Appearances

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years

Meltdown is an enemy skill that acts similar to Self-Destruct, dealing damage equal to the user's current HP to the entire party, but killing the user. It is used by powerful bosses including Omega and Armstrong. The Complete Collection adds in the Death Machine in Golbez's Challenge Dungeon, who can also use Meltdown.

Final Fantasy V

Meltdown is a Dark Art usable by Necromancers in the Advance version. It causes Fire damage and Sap. It is learned by defeating Liquid Flame.

Final Fantasy VI

Envelops all enemies and allies in ultra-hot flame.

Description

Meltdown is an Attack spell that was originally translated as Merton, its Spell Power is 138 and it costs 85 MP to cast. It deals unblockable, Defense-ignoring Fire/Wind dual-elemental damage to all targets on the screen, allies and opponents. It is learned naturally by Terra Branford at level 86, or from Crusader at a x1 rate.

Emperor Gestahl attempted to use Meltdown as a last resort to kill Kefka Palazzo when the latter was about to place the world into the Apocalypse by awakening the Warring Triad's true power, but it failed due to Kefka using the magical field generated by the Warring Triad's statues to shield himself from any oncoming spells. Meltdown has exceptional healing power for character who has Flame Shield equipped.

Template:FFVIII Spell

Final Fantasy XI

Meltdown is used by the Doll family of monsters, and is their version of a Bomb's Self-Destruct move. It deals Fire damage to all characters in a circular area centered on the Doll itself. It is not usable by player characters.

Scholar can cast Meltdown only under the effects of the special job ability, Tabula Rasa. Here, it is named Kaustra, in keeping with the English version's theme of giving Scholar's exclusive spells Latin names. It is aligned with the Dark element and uses Dark Magic skill to calculate its accuracy and potency. It deals strong dark elemental magic damage with an extremely potent damage over time effect. The damage over time effect can only be removed by wearing off with time, the target's death, or being overwritten by Embrava.

Terra Branford

Meltdown is one of Terra's HP attacks that fires a fireball at the opponent. Depending on how long Terra charges the attack, the properties of the fireball change, allowing it to move at higher speeds, home in on enemies, and bounce off of obstacles at different levels of power. Terra learns Meltdown at Level 38. The attack costs 40 CP to equip and 300 AP to master.

Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy

Meltdown comes back as one of Terra's HP attacks, but has been upgraded since Dissidia, with a strong homing even charged to its third form. Terra learns Meltdown a little earlier, at Level 35. The attack costs 30 CP to equip and 130 AP to master, a lot less than in the first game.

Dissidia Final Fantasy (2015)

Template:Sideicon Meltdown is the initial HP Attack learned by Terra Branford. While it still homes in on enemies, it functions differently from the PSP games, in that the projectile will be the same size no matter how long the player holds it. If one holds the IV button, the projectile will travel farther.
