Tips and Details

Although it can be activated in mid-air, the fire burst doesn't occur until Elsword hits the ground, so it's not very useful for hitting airborne targets.
Burn status damage is dependent on your magic attack.
The number of hits depends on your distance from the mob as well as the size of the mob.

Old Version

In the past, Sword Fire had a smaller area of effect and would not expand from the area of its initial impact.
