Generally speaking, Blaze the Igniting Spark is a Caster Operator whose core mechanic revolves around Burn damage.
She excels at dealing sustained damage to enemies through Scorching Burn effects, while also possessing decent survivability and crowd control capabilities.
Her skill set makes her highly effective in AoE damage and prolonged combat scenarios, though careful management of HP loss during skill activation is required.
Blaze the Igniting Spark Skills
Skills
- Hand in Heated Hand
Selects the Operator with the highest Max HP within range, dealing 35% of ATK as Arts damage and 30% of Arts damage as Burn damage to all enemies surrounding that Operator every second for 20 seconds.
- Boiling Blood Ablaze
Attack Range changes, Attack Interval increases, ATK +60%, attacks 3 enemies simultaneously; when attacking, loses 5% HP and sets a burning field at the location of the target; passing enemies have -50% Movement Speed and takes 35% of Blaze the Igniting Spark's ATK as Arts damage and 30% of Arts damage as Burn damage every second.
- Pyre of Perdition
Attack Range changes, ATK +55%, Attack Interval greatly reduces, and normal attacks now deal AoE damage; If the target is under the burst effect of Burn damage, deals additional 50% of ATK as Elemental damage loses 3% of Max HP per second; skill activation grants 15 ammo, and whenever an enemy enters the burst effect of Burn damage gains 2 ammo; skill ends when all ammo is used (Can manually deactivate skill).
Skill Analysis
According to the skills, she can target the ally with the highest Max HP within range, enabling her to deal significant damage to surrounding enemies. This also applies various damage-over-time effects within the area, making it easy to synergize with other abilities.
Her attack power gradually increases and allows her to strike multiple nearby targets, granting solid performance in both AoE damage and crowd control. She can continuously inflict damage and slow effects, and her AoE capabilities are further enhanced by dealing additional Elemental damage.
Skill Specialization
We recommend prioritizing the Mastery of Blaze the Igniting Spark’s Skill 2 and Skill 3. Skill 1 is not recommended for specialization.
Blaze the Igniting Spark Talents
Talents
- Meltdown
Whenever an enemy triggers a Burn damage burst, immediately deal 250% of ATK as Elemental damage to the enemy and recovers 6% of Max HP.
- From the Ashes
When defeated, becomes downed instead and gains 6000 points of Barrier; cannot attack or be healed while downed, but recovers 3% of Max HP per second; once HP is full, revives and stuns nearby enemies for 5 seconds.
Talents Analysis
The first talent is Meltdown, which allows the character to deal instant Elemental damage to all enemies on the field whenever they enter a Burn Damage Burst state. At the same time, it restores a percentage of her Max HP, significantly improving her sustain and enabling her to maintain excellent condition throughout battle.
The second talent, From the Ashes, activates when she is knocked out. Instead of dying, she gains a large Barrier. While downed, she cannot attack or be healed, but she passively regenerates HP every second. This greatly enhances her survivability and, in turn, boosts the overall resilience of the team.
Strength Analysis
Currently positioned as a top-tier Burn Damage Core DPS, Blaze the Igniting Spark excels in Burst Gauge Damage and survivability. Her Skill 2 delivers sustained AoE damage combined with slow effects, while Skill 3 provides powerful multi-target attacks.
When paired with operators like Yu that specialize in Burst Gauge detonation, her total damage output can exceed 100,000. However, her individual gauge generation is relatively weak, meaning she relies on elemental synergy with other gauge-based units to unleash high burst damage.
Blaze's performance is heavily reliant on skill damage and proper timing. Pairing her with high-defense allies (such as Defenders or Healing-Tank operators) can effectively compensate for her own survivability shortcomings.
Gameplay Environments
- Regular Stages
Excels in AoE damage output — both Skill 2 and Skill 3 deal area damage with slow effects, making Blaze the Igniting Spark well-suited for wave-based enemy swarms. Her talent allows her to restore HP and revive during Burn Damage Burst periods, granting her excellent survivability. When paired with operators that inflict Burn status, for example, Yu, she can unleash high burst damage, making her a strong pick for most regular stages.
- Roguelike Mode：Integrated Strategies
Performs especially well mid-run thanks to her wide skill coverage, sustained uptime, and high tolerance for mistakes, offering solid AoE damage and crowd control.
However, she lacks Arts Resistance Penetration, which may make her struggle against high RES enemies.
To optimize her performance, she requires the right Collectibles and team support that enhances Burn effects and Burst Gauge mechanics.
Is Blaze the Igniting Spark worth pulling?
Blaze the Igniting Spark is currently the core DPS of the Burn damage archetype, boasting powerful Arts output and AoE damage capabilities. She is ideal for Doctors who enjoy control and area damage playstyles.
However, her individual Burst Gauge generation is average, relying on teammates who can trigger bursts.
In conclusion，highly recommended for players building Burn teams, especially for those who already have Yu — a strongly recommended pull.
